Re: deploying honeypots...

For you first question I would say leave them with no patches, the
opjective is to attract the black-hat community.

Regarding your second question if you mean what hardware (server or
PC) then it doesn't make a defiance, as you don't expect that huge
load to be on this machine i would recommend to start with a normal
PC.

Also did you conceder server partitioning by using VMWare or MS
virtual PC ? you can save lot of hardware resources by using these, I
am currently building a complete honeynet by only using one PC and
VMWare.
