I have read a good deal of text files on security-oriented websites that 
discusses how to secure linux.  However, I found that it all comes to 
the same important topics and I am now unable to find any more "general" 
information about how to secure linux.  I will now look for detailed 
information regarding iptables, apache, php, mysql, ssh, etc...

Though I realize all the documents I've read (the good ones) were from 
2002 at most.  And I believe there has been some breakthrough since 
then, so I was wondering if there was any place in particular to read 
up-to-date information on linux security?

Thanks,
  Simon
