Re: [edlug] Thursday? Holyrood?




Oops, didnt realise this had been discussed here before, nor that the Smoothwall peeps
are now a nice lovey dovey bunch, apologies to all those who were offended. Like I said
YMMV and clearly has. Haven't tried monowall, but looks promising.


Anyway welcome to me!

John.

diverge. Smoothwall is backed by a commercial company wheres IPCop is
community developed.


And? A variety of open source projects are backed by commercial entities, what difference does it make?

warm, friendly and first class, which is something Ive heard isn't necessary the
case with Smoothwall. As always YMMV.


*sigh* I'm tired of trying to correct people on this point. The SmoothWall community is just as warm, friendly and first class as any other - a cursory visit to our forums should prove this point. I wish people wouldn't use one-to-two year old opinions when discussing a project which they admit they have no first hand experience of :(
