But this implies that they have a clue and have some idea of what they're doing, which my reading of the previous messages on this subject would seem to indicate is almost certainly *NOT* the case in this particular instance -- these people are blindly ripping out FreeBSD for reasons that are almost certainly unrelated to the OS, and blindly dropping in Linux because they think it's shiny and something they want to play with. I have no problem at all if someone chooses to run Linux over FreeBSD and has valid reasons for doing so, even if those valid reasons are arbitrary, such as they just prefer Linux. But to make a choice like this out of ignorance and stupidity, that's another matter entirely. > the > problem is most people who run redhat and linux > in general dont know what they have running. its > amazing how many default installs there are out > there. Precisely. IMO, this is exactly what you'll see with respect to this particular site, and why they can look forward to being compromised before the install is complete. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> H4sICIFgXzsCA2RtYS1zaWcAPVHLbsMwDDvXX0H0kkvbfxiwVw8FCmzAzqqj1F4dy7CdBfn7 Kc6wmyGRFEnvvxiWQoCvqI7RSWTcfGXQNqCUAnfIU+AT8OZ/GCNjRVlH0bKpguJkxiITZqes MxwpSucyDJzXxQEUe/ihgXqJXUXwD9ajB6NHonLmNrUSK9nacHQnH097szO74xFXqtlbT3il wMsBz5cnfCR5cEmci0Rj9u/jqBbPeES1I4PeFBXPUIT1XDSOuutFXylzrQvGyboWstCoQZyP dxX4dLx0eauFe1x9puhoi0Ao1omEJo+BZ6XLVNaVpWiKekxN0VK2VMpmAy+Bk7ZV4SO+p1L/ uErNRS/qH2iFU+iNOtbcmVt9N16lfF7tLv9FXNj8AiyNcOi1AQAA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
