I've just ordered a Raq4 dedicated server ...

Are there some things I HAVE to do before I upload my main site ? Security/anti-hack patches ? Configure a particular feature before any other ? Disable useless services/daemons ? etc etc ?

Thanks !

Download all updates from http://emea.cobalt.com/support/download/raq4.eng.html and install them
