At home I have 11 computers: 2 sparcs, 2 macs, 8 pcs (mix of PIVs, AMDs, and C3s). They run *nix OSes (SuSE, Fedora, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, Tenon) and of course Winows XP/2K3. I don't bother with older OSes, except for experimentation, e.g. learning how older OSes are better supported by UNIX than Windows for both performance and security. Between computers, I want to have interoperability between them (print, file share, X, remoting, rtools/telnet/ftp). For insecure solutions, I was interesting in playing with SSL, SSH, Kerberos, and IPSec. Also, looking into secure single sign-on facility. However, I am far from getting the experiments off the ground. I am just barely above getting the darn things to work, with drivers, wi-fi, bluetooth, etc. Many companies still uncooperative with open source communities, a matter I hope to help proactively. In the mean time, I'll get a handle on SSH facilities (as well as getting hardware to work). Oh, lastly, Cygwin is cool. I'm interested in both cygwin and non-cygwin (mingw) solutions for both client/server. I tried all the client tools, both putty and ssh, both work well. Never knew that sshd was working so well. :-> Wish there was a way though to redirect the Windows desktop as a X client ;-> -- joaquin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
