I'm a newbie about kernels, but I have read (and maybe misunderstood) which stated the bsd kernel was more secure. So, if you use the kfreebsd kernel on a Debian, is it closer to that hardened security? It is a real question, sorry for the OT, but I am just taking the occasion to learn a bit about differences between those kernels. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
