Revealed: how Fedora and the community interactRevealed: how Fedora and the community interactPosted May 4, 2004 23:37 UTC (Tue) by pjhacnau (subscriber, #4223)In reply to: Revealed: how Fedora and the community interact by maceto Parent article: Revealed: how Fedora and the community interact I use it. Yes, I like the GUI and don't like SuSE's (at least in 8; maybe 9.1 is much better) Yes, I was using RH before that and I'm lazy. My firewall is running a much-hacked version of 7.0 - prob hacked enough it shouldn't be called _any_ distro :). My server may change from it's current RH9 to another distro as FC1 won't install properly on it - @%@%# network probs. Slakware - what package control? Though having just noticed slack-get on freshmeat I may be out-of-touch there. Hadn't heard of Mepis or peanut before. But there are two things that keeps me on Fedora more than anything else: FreshRPMs and PlanetCCRMA.

You haven't found the right thing to install on your firewall yet. You shouldn't need to hack a distro half as much.
linux firewall Posted May 5, 2004 17:09 UTC (Wed) by alphajim (guest, #9856) [Link] very happy with the Bering branch of LEAF. Even uses a current kernel, and shorewall is very good at turning common sense config commands into iptables commands.

Revealed: how Fedora and the community interact Posted May 10, 2004 1:48 UTC (Mon) by Arker (guest, #14205) [Link] Slack has awesome package control. It doesn't track dependencies (unless you install RPM, which is an option if you're really hooked on that) but it works great.

Slackware ships with a very advanced Actual Intelligence that not only does dependency checking, but also managed your system, installs updates, backports fixes dynamically, and generally handles everything that has to deal with your machine. This AI is so advanced that it can even in some cases create shell scripts to automate the maintenance of your machine, or even write and compile code for such purposes. I would not trust any dependency manager, system configurator, or bug-fixing software. None have proved as effective as Slackware's AI.
