Well, if you want hard facts, check http://securityfocus.com/archive/1
to find postings about RedHat 8.0 and Apache 2.0. A cursory search for
"apache 2.0" returns some issues, but nothing too major that couldn't be
handled with a little prepatory work from the system administrator. As
far as RedHat 8.0 goes, it really matters what programs that RedHat 8.0
has that you are using and whether they are up to date and patched. This
is more important than what version of any OS you are using.
