Start menu? What start menu? My windows keys act as meta in X so that Emacs still gets all of my meta- keystrokes, even with windowmaker intercepting alt- a lot of the time...

Feh! These are only essential if you like pulling your hands away from the keys.. I haven't used editors besides vi and emacs (what else is there? (don't answer that.)). But both of them allow me to move around and edit text without moving to never-never land where they keep the arrow keys.. And just about any shell you use will allow command line editing using one of the two keysets ( vi or emacs ). --
This is nonsense. Adaptec has this all backwards. They should be writing drivers for linux now. Or they should at least do a better job of helping developers work with their cards. The linux aic7xxx driver runs basically every newer adaptec card, and some on-motherboard chipsets. Currently it doesn't support target mode. Target mode is needed to run IP-over-SCSI (Rfc 2143). I and others have repeatedly emailed and called adaptec, attempting to get documentation so we could work on it. Adaptec was no help.
They should think about becoming more like Advansys who actually provide kernel tuning advice. Or perhaps Symbios who have programming guides and real datasheets for much of their stuff. free login required Basically Adaptec should spend some of it's time thinking about the customer now, not the the customer in a year that they are trying to create. --
Linux really didn't seem to do poorly. In fact I couldn't tell a difference between the platforms.. When using CGI, they all seemed to do about the same, yes, the two that ran NSAPI and ISAPI kicked the living crap out of the ones running CGI scripts, but I'll bet if they'd slapped mod-perl onto the Apache server, Linux would have caught right up..
http://www.radium.ncsc.mil/tpep/epl/epl-by-class.h tml is a list of what's ranked as what.. Looks like trusted XENIX is going to be the highest rated.
I'm not sure the SAK is required, openVMS 6.0 and 6.1 are listed as C2 and it doesn't mention anything about a secure logon keysequence( they do for nt)
you knowm, since they don't rate at the level anymore, linux could just claim C1 rating, and most people would assume that it's one better than NT. hehehe

Bullshit.
When installing the new Debian ssh, you will be warned if you don't have debconf on your system, and if you do, It explains that they've changed the name of the 1.2.27 ssh package.

How are they not? I am able to connect to 1.2.27 servers w/ the OpenBSD version.
X11 Forwarding, ssh-agent, and all of the pgp Identification all work fine.
having pored throught their web page, I don't believe linuxone runs _under_ windows at all. It's not a VMware-like thing at all. They just are installing into c:\linux, or some such, and using loadlin to boot linux from there... slackware has been doing this forever. Also I know someone who has one of their disks, and It's apparently a repackaged redhat, with the name linuxone replacing redhat where ever it shows up....
I don't think these boxes are set up very well at all, considering that I can't change my shell or my password when I'm on the SuSe Alpha box, since the versions they're running don't seem to know about the NIS passwords

Debian actually switched out the ssh package to be ssh-nonfree and brought in the OpenSSH as their ssh about two weeks ago in potato.

the "latest" debian can be running a 2.0.36,
2.2.10, 2.2.11 or 2.2.12 kernel, depending on what the users wants
oh yeah... and whatever it is, it's gotta be loud.. coffee just doesn't seem to be keeping me awake anymore.
