I just got my hardcopy of May's Information Security Magazine and noticed an article on the *BSDs. The article can be found on the web at, http://www.infosecuritymag.com/articles/may01/features_os_security.shtml Nothing new there that people on these lists wouldn't already know... Though I'm sure some people may have comments about the "genealogy" of BSD presented. One interesting off-hand remark I saw, "Though BSD has been around much longer, Linux has been hogging the spotlight over the last few years. This isn't such a bad thing, as many computer professionals seeking an alterative to Windows start with Linux and eventually move on the BSD." The author, Pete Loshin, makes is sound as if a *BSD is the natural progression from using a Linux flavor. Thinking about it, I do notice a lot of people on *BSD mail lists who say they used to use Linux and now use a *BSD, but seldom hear the reverse (with the exception of people who have to use Linux at work for some reason or another). I wonder how much movement there is between the two camps... not that every person necessarily has to be a card-carrying Linux- or *BSD-zealot and not have some appreciation for a variety of projects/products. -- Crist J.
