Hi David,

No. Both the PKGmaster.com and Solarspeed.net PKGs were compiled statically
against the most recent OpenSSL and Zlib. Which means that regardless which
version of OpenSSL and Zlib you have aboard, these OpenSSH versions will use
the most recent libraries which they compiled against.
On the RaQs that's the most secure, compatible and hassle free solution.

Mine has SSH protocol 1 disabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config by default and uses
exclusively SSH protocol 2 which is considered safer. Taco used to have
protocol 1 enabled for better compatability with older SSH clients.
Aside from that both packages should be pretty similar.
