Well... I'm not crazy, really :-). MDK 10 features a 2.6.3 kernel and it is much more stable than 2.4.3 was for example. In fact, from all distros I've ever tried, this one is the less problematic (if you can call it problematic). Not a single issue with the installation and configuration of the server. The only problem I had was that mounting a CD from the desktop wasn't working properly out of the box but it was fairly easy to fix. The single seriuos problem I have left to solve is with the NIC interface, I suspect it is working Half Duplex and mii-tool doesn't seem to work. OTOH, You might be right about security holes but the server is working in an intranet so it is way less risky than the internet. -William -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
