Re:Why
How much code has HP contributed to the free software community?
A decent amount. Especially for the ia64 port of the Linux kernel. Speaking of the kernel, searching for hp.com yields:

Checkout Buildkernel
Here is a great little utility which makes building new kernels easy. It automates the process of downloading and applying patches, and can be easily configured to build a new kernel reusing your previous kernel config selections. Makes the download/patch/recompile process about as seamless as it gets, especially if you have a static kernel config.

Consider a secondary ISPAs the ISP market has changed, many larger providers don't want to offer shell or other niceities. Since primarily only these larger providers are offering high-speed access, I'd recommend a secondary ISP, one which does not focus on connecting to the customer via cable/DSL/modem/carrier pigeon, but rather one which is concerned with privacy and security. These services are relatively inexpensive (I pay $50/six months for what you describe), and those running them are usually very interested in privacy. There is the added feature that when a new high-speed provider begins providing services in your area, you won't be tied down.
I don't use any of the accounts provided with my cable modem, since they only provide insecure POP access and no shell. Instead, I pay the Data Haven Project for a shell, a reasonable expectation of privacy, and a stable address that will survive my next change of bandwidth providers.

DHP.COM
I have used The Datahaven Project (dhp.com) for several years now, and they have been really good. They have absolutely no information about me other than my e-mail address (with them). I pay by money order, and I just had them put a notice up on their page when my account was created, with the password I gave them on the cgi form. The price for a shell account is $50/ 6 months and I haven't regreted it at all. They run Linux and provide ssh access as well as POP, news, and all the standard stuff. They seem competent technically, and they are dedicated to privacy.
Hope that helps.

Re:About the Kernel and newer users.
Check out BuildKernel, it's an automated bash shell script that can download and install your kernel. If you don't want to configure your kernel, it can use your old
.config file from your current kernel. Check out http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ buildkernel/index.html. -

They forgot scientific american...
Believe the people from attrition or don't belive them. But here's a text from fyodor, the creator of nmap. He reacts to the publishing of a Carolyn Meinel article in SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. My god!!!
It's a shame that they didn't react, 2 months later one could read the article in the foreign "brother" newspapers of scientific american. I wrote an angry letter to them, but they insisted mrs. meinel had a good reputation in security circles.
I wonder why I have NEVER seen ANY information of her or her affiliates on bugtrag/ntbugtaq/comp.security.* . Argh, perhaps I'm just to idealistic to think there have to be some journalists who bother to get any information, but this makes me really angry.
