Yeah - leave it up to Big Blue to ruin everything. But, really, Steve - just migrate to Stream. You probably won't even realize the difference. https://twitter.com/carlwgeorge/status/1336901625290625024 On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 10:40 AM Ken Hohhof wrote: > I guess it would have been naïve of u

Aren’t most of the exploits for windows 3.1 so old they don’t work any more and no one would be checking for them? Ergo it’s more secure. > On Dec 12, 2020, at 10:07 AM, Josh Baird wrote: > >  > Ok - you lost me. We're not talking about Windows 3.1 here. > > You alleged that Debian/Ubunt

Ok - you lost me. We're not talking about Windows 3.1 here. You alleged that Debian/Ubuntu was "more secure" than CentOS. That is what I disagree with. Obviously, I don't think a Windows 3.1 system is secure. On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 9:50 AM Lewis Bergman wrote: > Well that is pretty funny.

"Ubuntu is and has been more secure than CentOS" is not an accurate statement. A system is only as secure as you make it. CentOS is perfectly secure when operated correctly. As is any flavor of Debian. Put a Debian system in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they are doing and it's jus

Ubuntu is backed by Canonical, is based on Debian, and as for security I would say Ubuntu is and has been more secure than CentOS and not as secure as Debian. But to be clear they are better like Jennifer Garner is hotter than Jennifer Aniston. Sure, hotter, but you likely would be really happy wit
