Hi All
I've been looking into some ways to break a CentOS system so I can

Tried on another PC with CentOS 6...
Tried on my Windows 7 laptop (while it certainly does not support port
multiplier, even with one disk it would take a long time to appear, once, and
never appear again)...

A couple of weeks ago, I got an autogenerated email from the mail folks
here, telling me they'd quarantined what they thought was spam. The last
