So= far, I like Mandrake better than Red Hat Linux. Why? Well, for starters,= RH Linux still uses sendmail as the default MTA, Mandrake uses Postfix -= an excellent MTA. Secondly, the Mandrake install is much, much better. My firewall is OpenBSD, for security reasons (after all, it *is* a= firewall). My web server is FreeBSD because FreeBSD seems to have more third-party= support than OpenBSD. FreeBSD is rather impressive in its= accomplishments, and thought of design. Yes, I have found that the BSD's are ahead of the Linux's. However,= keeping everything in perspective, the Linux's and the BSD's are= light-years ahead of anything out of Redmond....
