Nick, I notice "Macafee" & "Symantec" in the first group, but no 
equivalent words in the second...

Have you missed something from the Linux list...

======================================================================= 
ASIDE for the *nix among us - I'm sitting at work, on a private network 
that has a webproxy server to allow us minions access to the web. I've 
used Putty to connect, using SSH via the company proxy server, to my 
home network, where my ADSL router port-forwards me to my Linux desktop 
machine. I can run terminal sessions/software directly or full graphical 
VNC sessions by tunelling the VNC connection over the SSH connection. 
This single SSH connection is also used to securely tunnel connections 
to my mailserver at home, allowing me to run an email client - PCPine - 
on my work machine and talk IMAP and SMTP to my mailserver at home, so I 
can sit here and keep an eye on my email while I'm at work. I'm not 
aware that this would be easy, or even possible, with windows machines. 
Are there free ssh servers, IMAP and SMTP servers, DNS servers - all of 
which I've got running at home, entirely for free? Even the OS itself is 
free..!
The various machines are old cast offs - either 486's or P1 vintage 
(except the main desktop which is a second hand P4/2.6GHz). Linux keeps 
these old doorstops in a useful job!
