Because it covers: Unix, Linux, BSD etc, people were complaining about the title saying "*Nix Security"  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 | Point well put and the fact we are slackers ;+()

Jesus scallion drop it, I changed it in the first place to people compaling, then a second time, I'm not changing it for a third... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 68 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 68 | My point is, you have a gaping huge typo on your forums.

1) if people say *nix than they mean all unix based operating systems
2) so if people say *nix security, they mean security of all the unix based operating systems
It's that simple...

"Why nix & nix, not *nix & *nux?"
When in reality, a true synonym would be:
"Unix/Linux, and Unix/Linux Security" (yes maybe Gizmo should've put a comma in there so you wouldn't get confused)
Seeing it that way, it makes sense that this forum is for discussion anything-related Unix or Linux. Before it was just Unix/Linux Security and people may have thought that any Unix/Linux discussion in this forum MUST be on security.
So as you can see:
"*nix & *nux Security"
does not work in the meaning Gizmo was trying to get across. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | Correct...
I was tired of seeing unix and linux posts in general, people though these sections were for security relative postings only. We changed the names FOR this reason. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 68 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 68 | Heh. I'm happy. Don't worry.
