As stated before - it requires too much time, effort, thought and strategy to "take down" a unix/linux network - let alone a single machine. With Microsoft products - especially when every single flaw is "road mapped" for you, it's infinitely easier - requiring very little time, very little knowledge, very little forethought, and very little strategy to take down 50% of the world's Windows machines... -- Thu Aug 14 20:20:00 EST 2003 20:20:00 up 11 days, 8 min, 1 user, load average: 1.33, 1.54, 1.37 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
