| | What are the benefits of Free BSD over Linux?
I think there might be more software made for linux and the community is probably a little more friendly, new school. As opposed to the BSD community, old school, holier than thou hacker people.
Is BSD really more stable? Hard core? Whats up? |

I prefer using Debian GNU/Linux for desktop and FreeBSD for servers. Reason: BSD systems are much more secure and stable than linux.

Bbc Iplayer
Linux and Mac Ignored (0) The BBC are developing a piece of software called iPlayer, that will allow people who hold a TV
Licence to watch brodcasts up to 7 days after their original transmission by downloading them
through the BBC's software. This is a great idea, and shows the BBC are competing with the likes
of Channel 4's On Demand service. It'll be free, and they've worked hard with the owners
of the programmes to make sure they can bring as much as possible to the service. However, there is
a major problem: iPlayer will require Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer. The BB....

Call For A Tlug?
How about a Trap17 Linux Users Group? (0) I have something that might be a bit of an idea, thought I'd share it so I know if it's a
good idea or a bad one. I get the feeling (upon having browsed a few forums around here) that a lot
of Trap17 members are also users of linux. Not necessarily passionate, anti-every-non-unix-OS users,
or potential kernel hackers - just balanced and normal, every-day linux users. So I was wondering if
we could have a separarate sub group called the Trap17 LUG, perhaps a new board or a plain mailing
list - to discuss Linux and related issues. Obviously, every member of Trap17 ....

Proftpd Ftp Server In Linux

a ftp server where a predifined user could access only a folder's range with read only
permisions and also a folder with write permisions but not read permisions. I am not sure about the
steps to follow to do this. So i thought that maybe someone in trap is using proftpd and could help
me. So the steps will be: - Create a user with the command useradd/passwd - Modify the ....
