Joel, group;

I have been looking at that, it seems I have two choices:

www.matrixssl.org : : Because it is small.
www.openssl.org : : Because it is what most people expect.

If we are going to be successful at building a vserver guest
that can be remotely rescued, then the decision may have
to be made on which can be built with static linkage.

Perhaps both? Like this:

initial-install (baby01) : : chroot/vserver rescue software
 - - - - the matrixssl staticly linked
 - - - - the BusyBox is already providing a telnetd
 - - - - the BusyBox is providing a vi editor
 - - - - the BusyBox can be staticly linked
 - - - - already have a staticly linked Bash

base-install (baby02) : : rescue, backup, restore, and maintenance.
 - - - - the openssl dynamicly linked
 - - - - a dynamicly linked nano editor
 - - - - the BusyBox is currently dynamicly linked
 - - - - I added a dynamicly linked Bash in /opt/gnu/bash/*

The baby02 level should be fine for anyone that is not playing
with an experimental libc6 (like some that I know).

People who need more features should be loading the
base-install of some Linux distribution.

I am also trying to keep this exercise within a single semester's
work in system administration - but I will not cripple the
package for that purpose.

I will give this some more study, I can't answer my own
question at the moment.

Mike
