php-suhosin is the CentOS RPM name for the Suhosin package built from the sources provided at the Hardend PHP Project . Suhosin's creator says: " Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations. It was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core." The are two parts to the protection provided by Suhosin. One is a patch that is applied to the core PHP source, causing the PHP to have to be recompiled. The other is a PHP module that is loaded as an extension by PHP. Most of the protection provided by Suhosin is via the extension, which does not require new PHP rpms, and that is all the protection that is provided by the CentOS php-suhosin RPMs. Prior to starting this Guide, you will need a working lamp server, with at least PHP and Apache (called httpd in CentOS), also mysql may or may not be installed. See this guide for a basic lamp server install, if required. |

Apache web server has named based virtual host capability, whereby you may host many websites of different names on the same web server using the same IP address. This works great with HTTP websites, however when using mod_ssl to do the same for SSL-Based (HTTPS) sites there are problems. Server Name Indication (SNI) is a TLS extension which makes the configuration of HTTPS name-based virtual hosts on Apache possible. mod_gnutls is an Apache Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) that implements SNI using gnutls and can be used in place of mod_ssl on servers where this capability is required. Note: The mod_gnutls website says this about its current state. mod_gnutls is a very new module. If you truely care about making your server secure, do not use this module yet. With time and love, this module can be a viable alternative to mod_ssl, but it is not ready.
|
So, mod_gnutls can currently be labeled as experimental and is currently not recommended for use on critical live sites. |

I have written several articles in the past concerning Enterprise Linux distributions and how they are different than other linux distributions. There are 2 such articles currently linked from HughesJR.com:
Introduction to Enterprise Linux CentOS Review
This article is going to be a little different. It is going to recommend a free enterprise linux distro, CentOS, as the one you should pick for your Enterprise needs. |

In several of the guides on HughesJR.com, the first couple steps were how to do a minimal install of an Enterprise Linux distro. We were repeating it enough that I decided to do the minimal install as a seperate guide. It will be linked from many of our other guides. This guide will address how to get the minimum install completed and yum configured for CentOS, Scientific Linux, or White Box Enterprise Linux (WBEL). From that point on, the rest of the install should be the same in all three Linux versions. Note: Tao Linux has retired and become part of CentOS. |
