You don't have to convince me, the past few months every time I goto a datacenter I keep seeing people deal with this root/ssh hack/backdoor and see people crying after trying to recover data that was wiped with porn and music from the night before.
Just speaking to a vlan/switch guy two days ago told me half his boxes were taken over in about an hour and all they could do was rebuild and restore.

All of a sudden I started having problems with my email client not wanting to check one of my email addresses. So, I figured, let's just try shutting down the email client and restarting it. No dice. Now, the email client pops up, but there's a "back-end" piece called Akonadi that tries to start but fails. I have to give linux props though. this is the first time in a LONG time that something like this has happened. just wanted to let all my fellow Windows admins know that despite the claims to the contrary, Linux isn't perfect either.
