I recently decided to try Debian to add to my repertoire and experience
with distros (along with RedHat, Caldera, Corel, Mandrake, Suse, and
OpenBSD). I noticed that the version I ws using (Slink) was based on
the 2.0.x kernel.
I know there are a lot of Debian heads on the list so maybe someone
could tell me why this was so? Will Potato be 2.2.x-based? What's the
deal?
The reason I'm asking, BTW, it that one of the reasons I was looking
into it was for my firewall. I now have two systems on my firewall (a
stripped-down RedHat and OpenBSD, the latter I will write a report on
soon), so I'm already dealing with two firewalling techniques (ipchains
on RH and NAT/IPF on OpenBSD) and didn't want to add a third (ipfwadm)
to the mix.
Thanx!
