Hi! With regards to Richard Stallman... I think I remember some lines where he said that in a Lab he worked some party decided to take over all the computing power, and he finally got it back by patching the kernel... He said he'd not known how to do this on a Linux... his theory was that one could probably sneak the root password and therefore overcome sch a turnover in might.... Or so I remember this.. Anyone with better memory/URL?? Brett??
