Without that commitment you well, eventually, get to join the legions of
poorly maintained, compromised Linux boxes out there. This hurts
everyone, but especially you -- potentially legally, certainly in terms

SPAM you have been sending out or those warez you are distributing...
Are you implying that a zombied box can be a legal liability for
the hapless owner? If that is the case, a heck of a lot of Winders
lusers should face the courts. But I doubt this is the case.
