Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long
span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and
I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work,
the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with.
Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.
It took me 2 hours to install pure-ftpd on RedHat 7.1 (a couple of
months ago). I ran into all kinds of RPM hell up the wazoo and then gave
up and did a source install.
It took me 1 minute to install pure-ftpd on Debian 3.0 testing.
WINNER: DEBIAN!
