If I was an ISP changing from NT I wouldn't use Linux, I'd use freeBSD. Much more secure, stable, more mature, and it's also free.

I replied that one thing they could do is switch to Linux or FreeBSD or some other UNIX (they are using NT). Their reply to me was that the problem with Linux servers is the security holes. They must have swallowed Microsoft's propaganda hook, line, and sinker, finally telling me they are "NT professionals" and that they know little about Linux. The tech support guy told me they might eventually get into Linux, but there is much to learn. I am still a newbie, but I wonder what I could do to get them to really look into changing to Linux or other UNIX. Anyone have any good websites where ISP's can compare Linux and NT? Actually, they goofed when they asked for my opinion, because I was replying to another person's post, and it was that person who could not use their DNS service. All I did was direct that person to another ISP which could do what they needed done. thanks -- Andrew -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
