Thanks to everyone for the great comments. I have a few questions, but I'm going to combine them into one message and work on the next draft first. I just wanted to say quickly, please don't anyone release this to Daemon News or anything else yet. If it gets to one of them, it will surely get to Slashdot, and I want to have it in finished form before I expose myself to the flame-fest from Slashdot Linux users ;-) Steve On Fri, 25 Feb 2000, Louis Bertrand wrote: > Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 22:16:29 -0500 (EST) > From: Louis Bertrand <louis@bertrandtech.on.ca> > To: Steve Lumos <slumos@nevada.edu> > Subject: Re: Request for Comments on article > > You should submit this to Daemon News Daily (http://daily.daemonnews.org). > Many people don't subscribe to the advocacy mailing lists. > > Try also the OpenBSD Journal at www.deadly.org . > > Ciao > --Louis <louis@bertrandtech.on.ca> > > Louis Bertrand http://www.bertrandtech.on.ca/ > Bertrand Technical Services, Bowmanville, ON, Canada > > OpenBSD: Secure by default. http://www.openbsd.org/ > > On Fri, 25 Feb 2000, Steve Lumos wrote: > > > > > I've written an article titled `On the Use of NetBSD for Computer Science > > Education' (it's really *BSD, but NetBSD is specifically being attacked > > where I am so that's why the title), and I'm hoping to get some useful > > criticism before releasing it to the world.
