Gentoo - Secunia

[gore]

Actually IBM sides with SUSE. They helped get SUSE certified and to this date no Linux has been tested and shown more secure than SUSE. SUSE got the highest award in security to date of any distro.

[unhappy]

before you start flaming me ... i just want to get a chance to clarify my statement... let me look up the issue of Linux Magazine in which I read it ...

be right back

[neel]

ehehe

how about gentoo chooses the documented distributed approuch of fixing the bugs in the way linux came what it became today, by publishing everything to the world, while suse relies on a few die hard code munchers first... besides that there are several awards for security, suse won one off and with that it didn't poop one ALL distro's, just the tested ones wich where probably the certified (dunno which cert certed) ones

you can twist the story all you want in the favour of yer own distro... "I like cygwin because it got no advisories AT ALL http://secunia.com/product/2924/"

That's not a flame idiot, and it's been almost 3 hours, still reading?

[unhappy]

don't call me an idiot... it's absurd

[gore]

No, I don't think so. You read something in a Magazine, posted it as fact, and then when you got called on it you say "Oh I'll re-read what it said" because I posted with what IBM actually DOES do, which is support SUSE.

[Shrekkie]

after installation i had many problems w/ dependencies and broken paths

You prolly didn't sort out well your USE-Flags in the /etc/make.conf.

Besides,

gore, when are you going to interprete something what another user said for real, instead of always making your own story out of what someone replied ? You seem to have that female touch where they always tend to twist what a male says, into something they wanna hear. And don't flame people... it's childish.

How did I twist around what he said? He did read something, and then he did post it as fact, and I called him on it and he did say "oops, I'll read it again, I played with the facts, oh baby baby".....

And when are you going to pull your head out of your ass and quit going after everything I say ? You sit there like you're some type of voice of ****ing reason or something and tell me to grow up, that I'm stupid, that I don't know anything, how about I call you out? Bitch.

i'm sorry ... i wanted to look up the article ... and yes i was wrong, i wasn't ibm... i was HP

i wan't trying to bullshit you guys i just remembered wrong

here's the link to what i was getting at...

""""" What I was looking for," remembers Geary, "was a unifying distribution that HP could rally around, develop on, and we'd have one place where we could get together on Linux across the company." Geary, a 14-year veteran at HP, says that in the final evaluation, the decision to go with Debian was made because of one thing: standards. With the other distributions, "it wasn't clear who was committed to the standard, and how much they were committed," says Geary."""""

"Perhaps this is part of Debian's appeal. A 100 percent hackers-only organization with none of the businesslike trappings of a commercial distribution, Debian is basically a suit-free zone. The distribution itself is composed of almost 4,000 software packages, each of which is maintained by one of the 700-odd Debian developers."


Thanx for sticking up for me shrekkie even though i ****ed up w/ exact company... i'll definitely try to install gentoo again...

See a miss reading is one thing, I knew IBM was standing with SUSE a while back. They like SUSE. Even Dell is now offering SUSE as a standard option instead of just RedHat. They used to charge mroe for SUSE because ti was custom for their servers but now they don't, they made it a standard option. As for Debian, I'd rather use Slackware, you can use apt-get on SUSE and Slackware so really there isn't a reason for me to use it.

HP stands behind Linux as well, which you've pointed out. HP did stand up for SUSE a few times too against SCO.
