RE: Debian Linux vs BSD
Onno,
Thanks for the links. Pretty awesome. Doesn't appear there is a clear cut
advantage of BSD over Debian Linux. It does appear to be a great
alternative. Maybe I will install it later to see if it is as much fun as
Linux. At this point Linux is a key internet server for me so I can't use
that PC.
It looks pretty nice with the exception of the differences between command
operations. I.e. killall. I am not saying either one does it correctly,
simply they are different.
There is one question. They announce openBSD ships with a secure version of
ProFTP. The version appears to be older than the bug version(s). Is there
something inherently different about BSD that it was not affected by the bug
?
thanks again,
-paul
