One of the reasons you might use open source software, is that you can read through the source of all the software you consider using for any security holes / excess features etc. With closed source software you have to trust the software developer, and if/when security holes are found you have to trust that they will: 1. Officially announce it. and if your lucky... 2. Release a patch for it. -- Laptop006 (RHCE: That means I know what I'm talking about! When talking about linux at least...)

I found that while the course was quite underated, I learnt more from my instructor than I did from the course material, ours was also the first group to take the 6.2 course, and we had several bugs in it, some people even had to get passed by default due to bugs in the de-bug section, not that they wouldn't have passed anyway...
but overall it is a very good course, and worth it just for the information given by the instructors. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Laptop006 (RHCE: That means I know what I'm talking about!) Melbourne, Australia
When I do use zip (I usually use RAR) I use winzip, but it's still important to note that whatever unzipper or zipper you use it still has that great man's code in it, and you can bet that when Linus dies (hopefully not for many many years), or even Bill Gates (Don't flame me) there will be a much larger mourning amoung the worlwide community, but most peoples work is most often not appriciated until a few (sometimes hundreds of) years after they have died.
