Just two nights ago, I used etherape to watch my little brother's nasty XP box contact half the world. Five Debian boxes on the same network were quiet, save one ssh session.
It is time to learn something new. Ethereal is being installed on my wife's nice sarge box right now. This is just one more reason to use and support free software. DVD players that force you to watch advertisements, music players that don't let you copy your music and books you can only read in the right reason are other reasons. Printers and scanners that refuse to print patterns are a very disturbing development. The only way to avoid such abuse is to not give your money to those who abuse you.
