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 -----Original Message----- From: Onno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 7:58 AM To: Paul McHale Cc: debian-user Subject: Re: Debian Linux vs BSD >Anyone know any differences between FreeBSD and (debian) Linux?
