question on this? maybe i am more disillusioned than i thought but if i patch and update how can i be as vuknerable as on windows? i run a program called killerwall as my firewall it is a script that uses ipchains or iptables .i chose iptables because of my reading and thinking this was safer. i dont understand how rootkits work tho and my reading has not helped my understanding of this very much. i dont do downloads except with acceptable ftp sites .no music/movies stuff.in fact my only downloads have have been with urpmi? can rootkits be used this way? apologizing for my ignorance ahead of time but i am hoping to learn br3n
