[NTLUG:Discuss] Slack vs Redhat

[Patrick Parks]

I would love to get some input on what the list thiks of this subject. I
have been using Red hat for a while, and really use to like it, up until
they started doing things like not providing support for mp3 in their
later versions. I liked Red Hat mainly because it was easy to upgrade
packages, and there was always fixes available and easy to find for any
security vulns. Speaking of security, I am running slack 9 on one of my
machines and notice they are using inetd, instead of xinetd. Which
distro do you think is more secure? Why would slack not be using xinetd
in the newest version? Should I feel better using Linux from a large
company like Red Hat, or with someone like slack?


Thanks for your input
