BTW, I am the one who started this thread
I almost did not post this message. But, due to Code Red II, there is
another reason to run Linux.
Linux is the key to this whole thing. Like I said, if you are
running Linux and apache, you are a "honey pot" for collecting IPs of
these compromised Win2k machines without any effect.
I guess Code Read II is a very weak argument for supporting the use
Linux and GNU / Opensource software. Now would be the best opportune time
to tell your friends, boss, co-workers, or anyone that would listen the
values of GNU / Opensource software. I guess I was wrong on bring up this
subject to support Linux! (Last time I checked, supporting the use of
Linux is not against the SLUG posting policy.)
But, think again, with Code Read scare running rampant (on the news, air
wave, etc), I and perhaps we should seize the opportunity. I or we do not
need to do much except deliver this brief message:
"If you were running Linux or Opensource software, you would not have to
worry about all of these nonsense."
Furthermore, I or we could add:
"By running Linux or Opensource software, you are saving a great deal of
time and money. Who cares about BSA?"
If the above reasonings are not related to Linux or Opensource software, I
have been mistaken. Perhaps, I am preaching to the wrong "booth"! As
a Linux / Opensource advocate, one should draw any inference that will
support and promote its causes.
