Suspect Arrested In Spamhaus DDoS Attack

New submitter apenzott writes "According to the BBC, a Dutch citizen has been arrested by Spanish police who suspect he was behind the recent Spamhaus DDOS attack, one of the biggest such attacks ever. 'The man arrested is believed to be Sven Kamphuis, the owner and manager of Dutch hosting firm Cyberbunker that has been implicated in the attack.' According to a press release from the Dutch Public Prosecutor (Google translation of Dutch original), the 35-year-old man's computers and other devices have been seized as evidence. The man will be transferred from Spain to the Netherlands shortly. 'Spamhaus is delighted at the news that an individual has been arrested and is grateful to the Dutch police for the resources they have made available and the way they have worked with us,' said a Spamhaus spokesman."

i look for the README and INSTALL files first, and how ./configure runs with the --help switch, and what options the --help switch offers, even as an armchair Linux enthusiast i can tell a good coder's work by how their source code is arranged when decompressed and how it builds, if it does not build good and clean as a normal user and if it does not respond to DESTDIR so i can make it in to a package then it wont get installed on my PC
