Thanks Matthew. Exactly what I need to know. Would I be best off to compile from source on, say, squeeze? Do the default configuration options just work? Or is there enough black art there to make it better to find the right set of packages? Until recently I always preferred source to packages, but some projects these days the packages end up better maintained than the source tars, to the point where use of anything but the packages gets discouraged - packages are now sometimes treated more as raw material for package maintainers than as the finished products they used to be. Which way is it with OpenVAS?
