what's so difficult about using your own mysql installation? this refers to the bundled libraries. aside from changes mysql has made to 4.1, this is a non-issue.
maybe this will get them to included a bundled version of postgres
Debian is a binary distribution. All that needs to happen is you download updated packages built by someone else, and drop them in place. No need for a compiler, and all of the build dependencies to rebuild whatever when a security problem is found.
So, instead of building a patch on another system, to which you already have the source, you'll blindly trust a compiled package you got off the net?
I must say that I am not a fan of these floppy-based routers. Essentially, you are taking one of the most unreliable pieces of storage known to man, and trying to build security infrastructure on it. That's madness. Just buy a small disk. Perhaps somethings based on a CD plus some other (non-floppy) persistant storage might be sane. But please. Not floppies. Are you mad?
when microsoft did use the bsd stack, they were perfectly within the permissions granted by the license. they stopped using that bsd stack some time ago. pre-nt4 iirc.
No... what I'm implying is stranger things have happened (wrt those two branches of the gov't). We see the DMCA and how, just flat out, well, fucking stupid, it is. I see that and wonder how the hell it could have gotten though.
That's what implying... the lack of common sense in our courts and laws just amazes me. I don't put it past the courts judging SCO to be in the right.
No, it's not FUD. Do we know if SCO actually has a leg to stand on? No. So what Novell has entered into the picture.
We have shit laws like the DMCA, Patriot Act, etc etc, because people took things TOO LIGHTLY.
Until it is proven, in court, that SCO has no foundation to sue, then no one knows. One learns from their mistakes, and the Linux community has a chance to learn from the ATT/BSD fiasco. It is completely valid advice. It's a good idea for the Linux community to get their ducks in a row just in case the courts rule in favor of SCO.
allow me to say bbedit rules.
that being said... what's up with BB? just a few months ago, they were offering a version of bbedit for $250k, but that'd include ungodly support, feature requests, etc etc. here's the/. story.
between that and this one... well, that marketing defintely caught my attention.
this has been getting a lot of coverage this week (article on deadly, some canadian newspaper, and now here). they did it at the obsd hackathon last year, and again this year.
lpd is quite cool. i've used it to queue software builds on remote machines where we aren't given ssh accounts. it's pretty slick.
As eluded to in my other post, I've been fiddling around with SUS for our Windows machines. Works pretty well. Although it may download the patches, an Administrator can still 'freeze' them... in essence, the clients don't get it until the Administrator tests the patch and unfreezes it.
For those systems that I don't control (and thus, not using SUS), I've found that Automatic Update works pretty well. It will download the patches, then remind you to install them, including descriptions of patches to install, etc etc. Pretty slick.

i got modded down as flamebait for that in another story. mods are on crack. it's real. just because it's linux, i get modded down.
freebsd is free for any use, yes, but you must obey the copyright. linux developers haven't always followed the rules
if linux has gotten code in a shady manner before, what's going to prevent it from happening again?
intel x86s? i wouldn't be suprised to see stuff like the i960s or whatever ... but x86?
that's why you do

routers are designed from the very beginning to do routing. the asics do it. the processors are designed for it. the os is designed for it.

until this 'story' is figured out wrt the laws of the land, i'm sure it will get crazier.
yes, it does seem far-fetched. but, we have laws like the DMCA and Patriot Act. i won't put anything past our judicial and legislative branches.

i wonder which one is easier to understand, use, and just flat out makes more sense.
Looks worth tuning in for.
Ain't that an understatement.
