Re: [cobalt-developers] RaQ replacements + Raq550-->Rh 9.0

[scdevlist@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Bob,

I agree and add that such control freak software should be looked at
carefully if not with outright suspicion.

GPL software should be checked out first and if good enough supported by a
community of users to insure excelence.

RH 9.0 so far sure looks pretty secure to me 9 (iptables high on install is
downright a padlocked box useful for nothing except ssh;) with many
appliance like/needed applications -just one click away on install. With
many control panels available by many providers RH will probably make one
shortly (buy one?) Or more likely...adopt one like it it did with squirrel
mail php based webmail interface and with what seems like pretty soon
industry standard spamassasin spamd/spamc combo. What web appliance will RH
pick? Will it be a major setback to many small GPL webconsole systems?
Interesting questions.

Meanwhile a Raq550 makes a pretty good sendmail server if you turn off all
the SUN garbage and have a good backup system. Also secure it -linux experts
only should attempt this major surgery.

So how hard is it to install RH 9 on a Ra550 directly? Seems that it is
pretty hard and if colocated somewhere hours away forget it. Anybody have
more info on this?

Best regards,
G.G. Wallis
