A couple of weeks back I posted a message about openwall, grsecurity, PAX, LIDS, and Bastille for FC3 but didn't get much response. So I'm going to create a small lab to investigate these issues plus SELinux on my own.
I've considering ordering a Dell PowerEdge 2800, with two Xenon 3.0GHz processors, 2 GB ram, embedded SCSI and embedded 10/100/1000 NICS for about $2,800.
Anyone running FC3 on this fairly generic box? Any problems? Any recommendations for a better box at the same or less cost?

Hi David -
Man, for $2800 I could build a heck of a lab with way more than one box. Buy several lower-end machines and you can probably get more done. Just my opinion, only worth what you paid for it. :-)
An observation: posting multiple questions in a single message tends to turn folks like me off. I've found that I am more likely to answer a single question... So if you have three issues you are dealing with, I suggest posting three messages.
I could be wrong tho...

So you are seriously suggesting that David post separate messages for the following questions?
o Any trouble running FC3 on this fairly generic box? o Any problems (running FC3 on this fairly generic box)?[1] o Any recommendations for a better box at the same or less cost?
You honestly believe these questions are unrelated enough to warrant three separate posts? Heck, I've just asked you the same question twice, perhaps I should have broken it into two posts.
[1] parens are mine.

I think
"A couple of weeks back I posted a message about openwall,
rsecurity, >>>PAX, LIDS, and Bastille for FC3 but didn't get much response."
Is what Thomas was talking about multiple posts for.

No, no - I meant that asking about openwall, grsecurity, PAX, LIDS, and Bastille might be best done one post per topic (i.e. an openwall post, a gesecurity post, a PAX post and a LIDS post). This assumes that the OP is asking about technical questions about each topic. A question like "hey, do you like SELinux or Bastille better?" would probably be a logical singel post, but "how do I configure Bastille" and "how do I configure SELinux" would be better as separate questions.
Make sense?
