Slashdot Mirror
Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager
Microsoft Linux Lab Manager Bill Hilf has been mentioned on Slashdot before, not to mention (as you might expect) on Microsoft Watch. His latest high profile coworker, Daniel Robbins, has also gotten a bit of Slashdot attention. Got any questions for Bill he hasn't already answered elsewhere? Post them below (one per post, please). We'll send him 10 - 12 of the highest-moderated ones and post his answers next Monday.
I'd like to step aside from all the hardware and software questions people are going to throw at you and focus on a more tangible topic: footware. When someone like yourselves accept a job stomping on baby ducks all day, do you invest in new boots, or do you just come to work in whatever old shoes you have in your closet?
Appreciatively,
Seth
$5 / month hosted VPS on linux = awesome!
Is one of your projects to assist in analyzing Samba source code to help coworkers better understand the SMB protocol?
(Shameless, I know...)

Dear Azureflare. We are aware of the attempts of the Linux community to communicate with our infrastructure. You can rest assured that we are plugging the hole as we speak.
My question is this: if you find a security vulnerability in linux, do you inform the linux community about it?
Yes, we immediately publish Linux vulnerabilities in our marketting literature and immediately distribute this literature widely to IT decision makers and other professionals.
