[TriLUG] Server: Debian or Mandrake?

[Mark Shuford]

I throw in w/ Brandon.
While pholosophicly leaning toward Debian and thinking that Mandrake 
seems to take the best pieces from everwhere; I'm planning a switch. for 
my public server machines, to OpenBSD. The lineage of it appeals to me, 
along with its reputation for high security.

I lean toward OpenBSD, as opposed to FreeBSD (which has been getting the 
attention from publishers and is closer to the actual old-shool Berkley 
personell), due to the fact that OpenBSD is a Canadian product and 
therefore not as limited in its choices of crytography methods employed 
in the kernel and the included packages.

So it goes...
