APT-GET

[Fredrik Ludl]

No problem :)
apologize OK.
I have 60 students in a computer evening group.
30 machines Gnome, 30 machines KDE.
So I let them install a little bit of everything.
OpenBSD is very good for this, since it is stable.
Viruses are not affecting the system much.
Thats why I work like this.
OpenBSD is very safe when you want to let people explore the world.
Thats why.
What the network looks like around this 60 machines is a very well kept 
secret:)
