Hi, I'm not a crypto expert, so after reading this interview with Bruce Schneier ( http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/324 ) I'm wondering if OpenSSH has the same problem he talks about, that is one public-key algorithm.

Hi, I woke up Saturday morning unable to boot my freshly upgraded 5.6 with grub hanging at "GRUB". After getting the boot loader fixed I experienced crashes in evolution.

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki

In another thread on this list, various wild allegations have been made, relating to the New York Times article on R. I object both to the subject line and to the content of several of the messages, and will not repeat or quote any of that content. It smacks to me of mischief making. Discussion has centered around the following quote from the NY Times article: ?According to them, the
