-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's worth noting the /reason/ for Sun shipping Sendmail, ftpd, etc. as they do. I think that it was an admirable policy in its' day - the mid-nineties. The environment for Internet connected networks is so full of toxic traffic these day, there are /other/ interruptions to production that I would be more concerned about... Besides, rev numbers of Sendmail are so very independant of anything like a Sun release cycle - it seems a bit foolish and quite arbitrary to peg a Solaris major number to something like this... Oh well. It's /good/ for those who work in securing systems! On Tuesday 04 November 2003 20:57, Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote:
Well.. that's assuming I *was* complaining about Fedora, and that I didn't like it.
You take it in good humor! The complaining rant was actually directed at Eric Bowser - I know when a thread gets nested, and quoted text is emebdded. the result is hard to follow. The fault is mine, for not directing reply to the original. To Mr. Bowser's credit - he /did/ frame his original "complaint" in <uninformed> tags!
Which of course would explain why I'm typing this on a Fedora Core 0.95 box with a 2.6.0-test9-mm1 kernel (yes, I take frequent backups. :)
Yeah - I got to look into the fedora builds for non-critical boxes. I have been building 'em all on Debian Sid for a couple of years now. Fedora will probably maintain enough compatibility for the commercial release software like Veritas and VMWare. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qJN+Ji2cv3XsiSARAjtNAJ9Ug1uJ1VckrF6GKyfEmxVUex2OiQCeJoX3 3PRvdTFzUhk5NVhUgjJQBvg= =FlC2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
