Linux has turned 10 today. Happy birthday and congrats to the hackers whose labor pains keep giving us new tarballs.
I still have my 386SX and the 0.99.?? boot floppy that I used to boot it with on what used to be a 200MB hard drive (100MB dedicated to Linux). No ethernet back then, though, so it was only using a modem. I'll have to try that boot floppy on one of these P4s around here.

"The new variant, which has initially been dubbed CodeRed.d, is nearly identical to its predecessor except for two minor pieces of code, according to Roger Thompson, head of malicious code research at TruSecure Corp.
The new worm has replaced a fragment of code known as an "atom" that was unique to the earlier version, the string "CodeRedII," with a series of underscore characters. In addition, the byte at offset 07C5 is changed from a 0 to an FF, according to Thompson, who announced the discovery today on a number of security mailing lists.
The minor tweaks in CodeRed.d appear to be a deliberate attempt to evade poorly designed intrusion detection systems or anti-virus software that is merely looking for the "CodeRedII" string, according to Thompson. "
