Hi there Steve, I already have a Ultra 10 box, but sometimes (including now) I have to use a standard Wintel (or Lintel ;)) box cause my job requires it. ;) Have a good day, Antonello -- Antonello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Fellow Sparcers, I've gotten about 70 virus/worms today of the current Wintel variety. My Sparcs w/Debian are quite immune, fortunately. One of the messages seems legit, from a filter than identified the senders of identical messages instead of passing on the payload. It contained lots of familiar IDs from the Debian Sparc list. My address used for Debian email lists was in there as a sender -- this virus/worm is a forger of sender addresses. The virus/worms do not seem to be traveling through the Debian mailing lists since my procmail is leaving all of them in the inbox. Someone who reads this list may have done so from a Windows machine, and had their web cache or email mailboxes scraped when they were infected. So what's a Wintel user doing reading debian-sparc? It's time to stop reading and trade in that hardware and dying OS for something like a U10 or U60 with Linux .. -- SP
