Here's a shortened version of what you said, sans vitriol: ---- > To what extent is UML less secure than a BSD jail? A few reasons: 1. exploits: Compare the number of kernel exploits between linux and bsd. 2. age: BSD has been around longer. It makes sense that mature code is more secure. 3. exploits part 2: There are more exploits in the base utils of linux than in bsd's I used to use linux, but I switched to bsd after getting tired of all the security patches. bsd is much easier to support, and I can run linux apps in an emulation layer, only occasionally needing to to any porting. I suggest this site for those who disagree with me: http://www.blahblah.com Basically, I use BSD because security is my prime concern. Also, I hate how Linux mixes installed packages with system packages in the /usr dir... it makes them difficult (impossible) to tell apart. ---- there. that was your entire email, shortened greatly by the lack of abrasive words. please consider posting that way in the future. it'll save you time, and make it so you might actually have people on the list who will read your messages. And before you classify me as a "Linux bitch", I'll mention that I greatly prefer using BSD variants myself. Especially a FreeBSD variant called Darwin. It has such a nice desktop environment :) On Aug 30, 2004, at 11:45 AM, David Ross wrote: > I am being aggressive so I am not the one in the > corner getting punched at hard.
