Says who? Linux isn't exactly Windows which can be hacked by 12 year olds riding bikes thru your neighborhood. Even if you are connected to the net 24/7, with no ports or services open you are not any more at risk than with a current distro. With an Iptables firewall you can even open essential services that you need and be quite safe on line. Maybe the CIA can hack their way into a machine with no ports open. But the script kiddies can't. And the CIA is not even vaguely interested in me. I think you are spreading FUD. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
