Hey all, I'm trying to mirror a local copy of debian for multiple ftp installs and was wondering what people's opinions were on which directories to include. They need to be production quality and stable but with all of the security fixes. If I understand this correctly, potato has the fixes and enhancements but is still under development, hence called unstable. Slink is stable but lacks the fixes. So which is the better of the two for a robust router/firewall? Is a combination of the two feasible and for which parts? Also, if these boxes are not intended to do development work, is it safe to exclude all of the "devel" directories or does this run me into problems with lack of compilers, libraries, etc? On the ISP topic, I've been very happy with DCA.net. Bell Atlantic has been treacherous. Not that anyone cares, but Stargate Industries does an excellent job in Pittsburgh. -eric ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://plug.nothinbut.net Announcements - http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
