Some years ago I put up some pics, and added the link to my sig: I was
posting to a Debian list at the time.
It actually took about forty minutes. Some paranoid from Microsoft
dropped in to see what free Microsoft software I was offering.
You know what a hotbed of insurgents the Debianista are and their
attitudes to software, free and not.

Hello!
David, your assertion that would take 37 seconds for some pest to
promptly try to annoy the site that Stephen Frazier configured is
indeed fact. Not too long ago I brought a new Slackware (Intel) system
online for some development work, and since I had the SSH port open
for other purposes, some idiot promptly found it and was rubbing the
penguin the wrong way.
I find their attempts annoying. Especially since the methods look
worse then the beginning cracking attempts that surfaced when I was
their age. And yes Adam if your reading this, (over David's shoulder),
it was indeed on an Apple II. I naturally did nothing wrong, but it
was annoying as anything.
I have since closed the ports that I had open for remote access. They
won't be open again until I definitely have a system up (with a
disposable harddrive!) and running.
