Cent os new server what to do.

I am setting up a new centos server. It is actually a vds but for all intensive purposes I will be calling it a dedicated as it needs to be treated the same way.

Ram is limited 256MB at the current time so please keep that in mind when making suggestions.

A few questions I have,

Where to start securing? Out of the box what do I need to do to help lock it down.

This server will be coming with direct admin on it.

What bandwidth monitoring software? MRTG?



Any feedback anyone would like to give would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Jim
