Look, even "out of the box" or "brownbag" - literally any linux distro upon initial installation and configuration (granted that passwords HAVE been put in place) is going to be able to sit nicely without very many issues as opposed to a Windows installation "brownbag" - the Win box is going to get hit FIRST TIME SURFING with either adware or spyware - irregardless of what or where the user surfs to - but that cannot happen on a linux box. And we've got to clarify some things - for Windows, it's viruses, trojans, adware and spyware. For linux/unix, it's trojans. -- Mon Jun 9 09:10:00 EST 2003 09:10:00 up 1 day, 19:01, 3 users, load average: 0.22, 0.17, 0.10 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * "I don't see why it matters what is written.
