-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I didn't get there in time to actually plug anything in but I was left wondering how often there are hostile computers at the InstallFests? We all know that there are plenty of distrovution versions that have mandatory patch lists. How often does say, someone bring their computer and behind everyone's back run something hostile to either catch passwords in eth traffic or just try to root someone's box? (mynde you, I'm paranoid when it comes to this sort of thing) Joshua b.
