We recommend that you regularly review the news section of the Operating System Vendors website for your chosen Linux distribution, to keep up to date with any potential security vulnerabilities that may be discovered for example.

For Fedora http://fedoraproject.org/

For Ununtu http://www.ubuntu.com/

For Debian http://www.debian.net/


Please be aware that Amenworld is not responsible for the content of external internet sites and that you as the Server Administrator are responsible for managing the well-being of both the operating system and the services running on it, so any modifications to the operating system or settings could, if not carefully thought out, render your server inaccessible or unusable. In a worst case scenario you may need to reinstall the server from scratch resulting in the loss of all data stored on the server.
