Linux viruses are almost never seen in the wild, and can only run with the permissions of the user, and would meet a subtlely different environment on each machine... Having said that, you might want to filter out Windows viruses if you had Windows clients. And some Redhat stuff will install on Mandrake, although I imagine they patch their kernel quite differently! > 2) What is involved in upgrading 8.2 to 9.1 or 9.2? (Keeping my data > intact) If you have /home on a separate partition, don't format it during the install (but back it up in case). If it's not, install, then restore /home from backup. If you bring all your dotfiles (generally ~/.<app-name>) with you, and some app isn't happy, maybe rename the dotfile and let it create a new one - sometimes formats change. > 3) if I have 2 ethernet cards, eth0 and eth1, and let's say I want to > disable eth0 and just use eth1, how do I do that? Just for now? "ifconfig eth0 down". Permanently? Not sure, why not just ignore it and not plug anything in? Actually, there must be something in the init files which brings the interface up, but I don't know where it is. Richard -- "Get up and turn I loose"
