Hey Linuxers,
Seems like ILUG-BOM is really undergoing changes. I
would also like to volunteer in anyway i can. I am currently using RHL 6.0
as a training tool in C & Perl programming and network fundamentals. But of
late i have heard that RHL flavor is prone to massive security loopholes...
Anyone cake to explain? .... Also i would like to know which is considered
to be the most stable & secure (high priority) flavor of LINUX (no flavor
wars intended). I am looking forward to starting a BBS and require
suggestions for good BBS software under LINUX?
Regards,
Jay Shah
