Telnet is installed by default in most distros.
- tmtvl 4y agoWell it ain't in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Arch, or Gentoo. Though I don't know which software is installed out of the box in Fedora, Debian, the many Debian derivatives, and all of the smaller distros out there; so you may still be right.
- HankB99 4y agoTelnet is not in the default Debian or Raspbian installs either.
