Hi Chris,
I choose to use cc out of loyalty to Wilber.
He's been working on it for years now and always been my best oss
supporter having spent hundreds of hours helping me learn oss after I
was a die hard MS man.
I have read an endless number of good things about IPCop.
I am determined to get my head around cc and support it because of the
support others have put into me.
I can understand that.
The next nix thing I'm going to change is my home workstation to run
ubuntu because that seems to be the distro that everyone on clug like or
raves about the most.
I've used debian before and love it!
Steve Holdoway has downloaded a KUbuntu which has the new KDE and KOffice
stuff included for us. I'm going to collect it this afternoon. You are
welcome to a copy.
I got into MDK because it is what my Wellington friends were using when
I got home from Perth and they gave me some CDs.
imho, Mandrake is a total flake hiding in a very pretty skin.
I also recall that I still owe Rob Fisher 4 blank cds and boxes because
he flicked me a copy of MDK10 (I have a long memory for debts I own:)
Cheers Don

I can so relate! New ClarkConnect box I set up last week got hacked
on Wednesday and is dead today.
Before you spend time re-building ClarkConnect you might like to
consider using IPCop [1] instead. While it doesn't have the same level
of facilities as ClarkConnect it is _much_ safer and sturdier.
Many of us in CLUG use IPCop, I have for several years.
The current version has survived being online for months.
The d/l is of the order of 40 Megs or I can give you a CD.
