Cool, just what I was looking for!

Also, is it better to install Apache + MySQL from the included SUSE
RPMs, or download the respective tarballs and compile from source?

Thanks again!

take a look at the CISecurity Linux and Apache benchmarks here:

http://www.cisecurity.org/

They are a bit centric, but include a lot of good ideas you can
transfer
to SuSe.

couple other related papers:

  (RHAS 3, but its close enough to Suse... very much 'step by step'
style paper)
