It's not a problem of "not understanding", but "not knowing any details" yet.

Please kindly point at the detailed post you refer to by providing the
link to the specific message in the list archives.
( http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/ )

I've noticed that several list members have asked for details before,
but you've not answered their questions.

What network-facing services do you run?
What firewall settings do you use?
Do you keep SELinux enforcing enabled?
Or do you turn it off or switch to permissive mode?
_What_ damage do you discover?
Do you use your computer as superuser root or ordinary user?
Do you use proprietary software like Adobe Flash?

Some of your writings sound like you run into ordinary software bugs
(or even packaging bugs), but not successful intrusion by hackers.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.  What evidence do you 
have that strangers have targeted your machine and repeatedly trashed 
it?  What have you done to make your computer either an easier or harder 
target?  Have you disabled either your firewall or SELinux, and if so, 
why?  Do you have the ssh daemon active and if so, do you allow root 
logins?  Enquiring minds want to *KNOW!*

"Rather than getting rude and flaming Harald, who is a knowledgeable
subscriber of this list (and it may be helpful to have available such
subscribers on this list eventually), it could turn out to be much more
productive for you, if you spent some time on explaining what threats
you believe you're exposed to with your machine and what makes you think
that you need to reinstall frequently due to damage done to your system
by strangers (either remotely or with physical access to your
machine?)."





I'm doing it the only way I know how to do it in forums..  Harald should
have flushed his nasty post, before posting it..  Harald may be a wise
one, but he doesn't need to bully us little bugs, just cuz we happen to
be in his way the moment..  If he confronts something he doesn't like,
he always has the option of looking the other way, at something he does
like.. If he doesn't like me, then he can just forget me.. he shouldn't
read my stupid posts if they gives him a headache or pisses him off...
Not everything in the thread is for him...

As far as "properly detailing what's happning to my machine", I think I
have detailed it as much as words can say it..  what parts of, "crazy
people are targeting and torturing my life", can't you understand sir..?

I know what I need, given that this torture isn't gonna just go away by
itself..  Seems I'm doomed to be their toy to break, unless something
big happens to wake them hell-hounds up to love and reality, soon.. I
needs a way to make a "bootable install CDR" of the Fedora system,
exactly the way I've customized it, so that all I needs do is DBAN a
corrupt hd, and install the OS with just a few mowse clicks, hopes I.. 
I've tried and tried and tried to make that custom iso, but it always
messes up..? as in "never works"..  If I had that CD, I wouldn't give a
flyin'thht if the kooks damaged this crapper internet box's OS.. I'd
probably DBAN the hd, and reinstall a new fully loaded fedora every
couple weeks.. Heck! if I could, I'd set it to automatically DBAN
itself, and reinstall F-14, every Monday morning, without it needing to
be net-connected.. so than the g'rillas wouldn't get in, to mess it up,
to get their precious "wet's and tinglies" bullying innocents...




No, I haven't tried F-16 for testing its screensaver slideshow time
period..
I'm a little "gun-shy", after trying F-15, WhooH! & YikerS!.. It was a
nightmare in the least..  Please tell, is F-16 a good stable OS, and not
as scary as F-15 is..?

As far as "the specks on my machines"..  They aren't here.. but they are
absolute crap at best..  I get my computers from garage sales, the dump,
and from the spring cleanup when people put their hard trash out at the
curb that week..  I don't know what it's like to have a real computer..
but I'm bets it's a lot faster than these four pieces of garbage
combined...
