reading is up to you...
i am not an evangelist as i used to be in my early years on Apple (and, yes,
even this is some time ago); i don't use NetBSD only -- there are some
'Enterprise Class' OSs we employ as well as 'some other BSDs'. but no linux=
. and
this has saved us from a lot of trouble.
not willing to start a flame here, but please compare the incidents reported
from/to/regarding linux (NB: linux is only a kernel in contrast to the BSDs=
) and
those reported to the BSDs. linux is sometimes as high as three or four cri=
tical
(exploitable over network, that is) flaws *a week*.
