I've

this year. But maybe that means it has gotten extra buffing now?
I won't install the book's 1.0.1c, already got "j", but do you have
particular opinions about which is best?
In general, that's not a decision for you to make - it's a decision
made by the developers who choose to code to the OpenSSL API or to the
GNUTLS API. They're similar in that they both provide SSL functionality
(Mozilla's NSS is a third), but as Armin says, they're not drop-in
alternatives. You install one or both, whatever is needed by the
packages you're installing.
