Mike,
I'm not a programmer or expert. My Linux guru and several friends who
own ISP's; run some flavor of *NIX on servers and their own machines
sent the warnings. I believe them. My own guru said as long as I read
mail only as /user I am safe. I believe him. He then explained why /user
was safe and /root wasn't. I didn't understand it, but I'm looking
forward to the day when I do.
In the meantime that's why he's the guru and I'm the newbie. He says; I
do and it's a perfect relationship. My L-M machine runs better than
Winblows ever did.
MANDRAKE ROCKS!!!
