weather in newfoundland is extremely unpredictable, thus the choice of set date i imagine.
newfoundland also has the fame of being the birthplace of wireless communication, as the worlds first wireless transmission across the atlantic was recieved on signal hill back in 1901, so maybe that was another reason as well.
just out of curosity, why would any mail admin want to have an open relay? it must cost the isp time and money as well as make them look bad to the community in general. even those who do support spammers for profit, even they must have some sort of authentication?
all this time thinking its just horrible admins who dont know how to do their job, or are to lazy to do it right
i always recommend people to start off with slackware due to it being the most unix-like linux distro out right now. after you learn how a unix enviroment works and runs then pick your flavour, wether it be slack, redhat, debian, etc.
that being said, i still use it for my servers as its rock-solid stability and performance never gave me a reason to change. theirs also people i know on the other hand who are redhat devout and never want to change, but to each his own.
so yes, it is the distro for newbies imo, but not a distro for newbies..if that makes sense?:)
