You implication seems to be "Debian is not secure enough", but my conclusion from above incident is quite the opposite from yours -- Debian is *amazingly* secure. If a Windoze PC is taken over by someone or some new malware that no existing anti-virus software can detect, how soon can a normal Windows user notice it? how soon can a experienced Windows admin, who is not working on the box notice it? Make a rough guess and read the aforementioned intrusion incident in Debian again. I don't know about you, but I was totally amazed that two Debian admins in two different corners of the world noticed the sign of intrusion at the first moment! -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
