Re: what about private servers?
I run my own web, ftp, and ssh server on my comcast connection for the use of me and a few friends.
To hell with their TOS. |

By default, many operating systems have FTP, web, finger, ssh, etc. servers running. This must be "real mature" and grounds for disconnection.
My wireless access point, which I have configured to have it's own IP address from comcast, has a webserver built into it. This also must be "real mature" huh? |

The most popular server OS is Windows 2000 Server. FTP, SSH, finger, etc. are not enabled by default. Most Linux distros don't even have them enabled by default (unless they come with, and you select to install webmin). Also, the web server in the WAP is for configuration only-doesn't have any purpose to anyone other than the person using the WAP. |

| I beg to differ. Most Linux distros do come with those services enabled by default. Debian, Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Fedora Core, etc. come to mind. You don't need webmin for SSH, apache, finger, nor FTP.

The SSH server on my computer is for me only-doesn't have an purpose to anyone other than me. Same goes for FTP and web.
I'd contest that Linux is more widely used in server environments than Win2k server, but whatever. |

| I'm using Fedora right now-I know for a FACT that most servers are NOT enabled by default. You have to request that they be installed and enabled. Mandrake won't even install ssh by default on the desktop installation (which is the default on the download edition). |
