Being a new unix user, I don't know much aboutsetting up the system (ok
almost nothing, but I'm struggling along and I can use it some).  What I
can tell you is that I know my computer history, including UNIX.  In the
80s (I think 86) a hacker at stanford was hacking in went by the name
PFloyd.  They ran BSD unix.  When the guy hacking into LBL (also running
BSD Unix) he went to see if the ppl on that system were mentioning PFloyd,
so he started scouring the system for it.  But he got his info from a
newspaper, and the paper misreported the name of PFloyd as Pink Floyd, so
he searched for that instead.  This helped the LBL people to be sure that
their hacker wasn't PFloyd.  The LBL hacker was a german named Markus
Hess.  On a related note, some people both use FreeBSD and listen to Pink
Floyd (Like me).  Anything I missed?
