Nope. To say something like that is to say that 'Hey, its a free world, do anything you want, do anything you are comfortable with'. And that's not what i want to put across. If we had it that way then people will still be using TELNET today and simply justifying it as 'It works for me, so i don't even care about using and installing SSH'. My point is that there are general 'best practices' which should be followed, to promote maintainable, secure and well administered Linux servers. These 'best practices' should be the first things newbies or those interested in Linux should learn to adopt, and learn to promote. And one of these practices i would like to promote is the use of package management software. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
