    "The very idea of rooting someone is that they don't know about it. So, you only know how many times they have failed to root you."

    Very true. I ran servers for years and you can tell by your traffic whether you are being used to do something you had not planned. I've caught a few people trying really hard but those advertising.com boys actually used my server. That's why I went back up the chain and took several networks from them.

      If you are so quiet I can't detect you ... then you know I don't care much. You are not impacting my machine. As I said, just ask for an account.

      Oh yeah I'm 60 this year.

    Ubuntu is for n00bs looking to get away from Windows. Go full Debian or go home.

    Yeah my 69 Cutlass with a 502 is what I drive. Passwd root lets you set it but you can't login with it. I ain't typing su to become what may be dangerous for you but is what I've been for many years.

      I guess I knew I'd hate Ubuntu but it was easier than I thought it would be.

      No don't touch the car it's way to hot for you ;). Where can I get a Slackware bumper sticker?
