Hi Guys,

I would like advice for best practices to secure my linux boxes. Know if I have been hacked, know of security breaches, etc.

Can anyone provide advice?

Take a look at the CIS guide for Red Hat 5:

Check out Bastille Linux. It's not a distro, it's a system hardening tool,
and many things it does are referred to by the NIST guidelines.

I, personally, used a firewall/router that I build using it on RH 9, and
for around 10 years, never had an intrusion.
