Hi all, I'm a newbie on this list... I just installed Linux for my first
time last week. I've been learning tons of stuff too. FYI I'm running the
Debian 2.1 release on an iP133 with 48MB RAM.
Anyway, when I installed it I didn't know exactly what some of the questions
meant so I followed most of the defaults. Don't worry, now I mostly know
what I'm doing ;-) but I still can't seem to figure out what is the
difference between xinetd and inetd. Looks to me like they both do the same
thing. Can anybody tell me the purpose of xinetd?
BTW I'm using the Linux box over a dial-up PPP connection and using IP
masquerading to firewall/hook up my Win98 box as well.
Thanks!
