OpenBSD floppy image (nowadays we'd do a USB drive or CD boot). local disk for logging only and filesystem tagged append-only. The P90 ran for 3 years essentially unattended. I build Solaris 10 servers with <120 packages (that's with enough X11 to run clients) vs the vendor's notion of "minimal" install of over 350 packages. Clearly I don't rate Sun's defaults very highly. I can get similarly close with RH et. al.
Why can't I accomplish the same thing with windows? And we're supposed to take Microsoft seriously? (how's that for ISA/M$ bashing) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
