Guess who got root-kitted last week.
In my defence it was only a 1 month old vulnerability in a service which
is normally firewalled (mod_ssl) on my home PC and I did know about it
within 4 hours. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I decided to try out
RH8.0. I'm not very impressed. Previously

Join the gang. I think anyone worth their salt has been done. It helps
to keep the healthy paranoia going.

Hi Neil,
I've got two Maxtor HDs. A 40GB and a 60GB, both 7200rpm.
They're both warranty replacements. Both the original drives keeled over
shortly before their warranty was due to run out. Of course, that was in the
days Maxtor did 3 year warranties on their HDs, not the 1 year they do
now...
Until I get a new job I ain't going to be upgrading my hardware, so I'm
thinking I might just put on a different Window manager (mwm works - but
its just so ugly - and I need a launcher and file manager). Any
recommendations for something thats easy on the eyes and the hardware?

I've been using Fluxbox happily for a long time now - very easy on the
hardware, very little window or desktop 'clutter'. If you like icons,
simply add something like idesk or acidlaunch. And it's rock solid, IMHO.

on my former PC (a Pentium 133 MHz with 64 RAM) i had to use very lean
window managers. Window-maker was not too bad, and i'm told blackbox is
soft on resources as well. twm is very ugly but economic as well, if i'm
not mistaken.
