welli'm following Jeremy's advice. anyone that interested in being involved in this project, head's up: why do you guys think? i think he was right about netbsd being a little bit overkill in terms of we don't need support THAT MANY platforms. i'm leaning towards openbsd. i love freebsd dearly, but your average run of the mill linux user will be more likely to trust openbsd than he will freebsd simply because thats what he read in the comments at /. thats not to say that freebsd can't be made as secure as openbsd, it's just that openbsd is *more secure out of the box*, and it is also precieved by the public as being the more secure option. let me if there's something i've forget ;) also, someone said that there are some bsd based firewalls on CDROM out there on the 'Net. i've looked and looked and can't find any. where are they? assuming they are any good why not try them and see what there is that we like and what we don't. please post any URL's nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
