In the same issue, there's a review of Red Hat http://www.ssc.com/lj/previous/2671.html that says: ``The UNIX world needs a software installer of the caliber of the Windows 95/NT Installshield. RPM is a good, even great start, but Debian Linux's installer beats the RPM/GLINT combination for both interactivity and ease of use. An RPM/GLINT release combining the best features of RPM and Debian would be a good thing.'' BTW, it also says: ``Favorite Features The sendmail featured in this release has improved anti-spam protection. No longer is it possible for a random spammer to use your host as an unwitting e-mail relay.'' I wish we had that. My Debian 1.3 box was used a SPAM relay a few months ago, causing quite a stir with the informatics people here (who said I was using an un-authorized OS). I admit that I (1) use sendmail and (2) had already edited /etc/mail/sendmail.cf a bit after Debian installation. But I don't think that the Debian version did anything about this issue. I patched my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file myself. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
