Thanks for comments everyone - I also got a lot of comments from the folks at the jam.
I intended to update the screenshots and marketing to fit with lucid today ( as Nathan suggested ) but got side tracked by other goings-on. I'll send a new draft out in a couple days. Ill remove snes9x as well and fix the numerous typos.

Clarifying what I said earlier, OSes obviously don't execute the files on sight, but sometimes they do access portions of them in easily exploitable ways, resulting in execution of an embedded exploit. For example, downloading an infected executable file and navigating to it in Windows Explorer used to be enough for the viruses to propagate on XP. Vista addressed that by prompting the user before executing something with admin privileges etc. I'm not aware of the details of how viruses work, but there should be something on these lines that we can publish without falsely implicating others. Anything like "You don't need an virus-scanner in Linux because..." should work. I agree that whatever we publish must be accurate. -- Aaditya http://www.dragonsblaze.com/ -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https...
