RE: RE: IP-Cop Firewall

>Linux is Linux. 

I believe that technically, Linux is the kernel.  All the other 'stuff' is 
bundled together in various combinations by the several distributions.  This is 
in contrast to OS400 where the kernel and utilities come together as a package. 
 FreeBSD works this way too.

This is important to understand only because it is quite possible for the 
latest Red Hat distro to have a different gcc than Mandrake's latest distro.  
While this is moot for IPCop, it matters quite a bit when trying to write 
generic Linux software.
