security through obscurity indeed

I get a false sense of security from using FreeBSD rather than Linux

Until "The Big Day" Glenda arrives at our colocator

Actually that does throw up a question for me (& not one that *needs*
answering any time soon)

If my machine is 150 miles away how will I press enter to tell it to boot
from local & how is it possible to prevent the col-locators using it from
the terminal. (not that I expect them to but ...)
