You're running your Linux box like an MS-DOS thing; you're giving FF - hence whatever weird stuff on the 'net that it might stumble upon, that could possibly exploit a bug - SuperCow power on your system. Never do that, use root for admin stuff only, define a normal user and do the normal stuff like that user. root is there to only to make (or brake) your system. You'd better check the basic docs/tutorial/guides/faq/h-t on the matter - I think the Debian-install guide should be a nice starting point. http://www.debian.org/security/ is also highly recommended reading. -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
