linux is ok, however it's not easy to use as a windows desktop yet. i got windows boxes and linux boxes, i prefer windows to a desktop and linux for my servers.


i was infected with the suckit linux rootkit. loaded a bare copy of linux on floppy disk on this 133mhz 16mb linux laptop. i loaded some vulnerable software. the suckit rootkit ran a secret ssh server on port 1984, which had root access. they modified the ps command to hide the secret server.


is your windows up to date?
