    Eleven years for version 1.0? This just goes to show that SSL is way too complicated.

    Go read Peter Gutmann's X.509 Style Guide if you want to cry. If that doesn't work, try implementing an ASN.1 library from scratch.

    I'll take SSH and SPKI any day over the X.509/TLS mess.

    Not going for flaimbait but I guess you also forbid Ubuntu as well?

    And security bugs caused you to drop OS's, I am sure you dropped Windows as well.

    Actually, what do you allow for production servers? I guess it is a BSD only enviroment - assuming they have never had any security bugs.

    Or do the other linux distrubtions hold a perfect secrity bug track record now?
