My company uses NT on most machines and intends to use it for the upcoming
internet connection, too. Now I wonder whether there's any reason to use
NT over Linux? Or in other words does anyone have amountion for me to
talk them into using Linux on the primary net machine?

I just noticed that NT only send encrypted passwords over the net. This
seems to be a good idea. I just wonder how secure there algorithms are.
Does anyone know how it compares to ssh?

This may be off-topic but does anyone know if there's a similar list for
NT?
