I don't run a server, don't use Root to surf the web or check my email, I use a current version of linux so your list does not apply dumbass! On Wed, 13 Aug 2003 01:15:52 +0000, David H.

Clown face: You inferred Linux is FREE of infectors. I list a PILE of Linux infectors and you call ME dumba$$. Get off your Linux high-chair and spend some time and research each and every listed infector and find out what each one does. I could also provide a pile of Linux vulnerabilities. I could start off with the Adobe PDF reader vulnerability. The ONLY OS I know that has an extremely low vulnerability rate and tiny list of infectors designed for that OS is Netware.

What the Linux Clown (not sure of his actual handle at the moment) is saying is that he uses good practices on his Linux box, so he is safe. Just as a Windows user who uses good practices is safe. I'm not a Windows fan, so I'm not doing this to defend MS at all, I just don't believe in using FUD to promote Linux. I run Red Hat 9 on my home PC. It seems I get at least one update a week via Up2date to close some vulnerability. Patches come faster in the Linux community as opposed to Windows simply due to open source and many skilled programmers around the world working on the various facets, I will say that. I also will say that IIS seems extremely prone to holes. Terry >> Stay informed about: Want to stop viruses and Trojans?
