btw, I'm still not daring to install this on servers, although I heard
rumors that SSH 1.2.27 is broken too... any comments? I haven't seen yet
any holes and cracks reported on OpenSSH?
one more cool feature in Mandrake 7 is supermount. a no-daemon,
single-mountpoint automounter, that appears as an option in the
fstab. very sinply lets you cd into a directory and use it w/o mounting,
but the mountpoint doesn't disappear and the umount is immediate (no 60
second timeouts etc, eject the CD immediately). this is a major feature
for easier use for newbies I believe.
also USB support, did I mention? it's one of the init services that come
up at boot time.
