I would recommend NetBSD -- NetBSD seems to support the most platforms. I would go to http://www.netbsd.org/ and see if your platform is supported. NetBSD supports so many, I'd be surprised if it didn't. Of course, if you want really tight security, then I'd go to OpenBSD. I think NetBSD's security shouldn't be that bad. Grab a NetBSD boot image, and boot 'er up. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
