I've just today paid UKP125 for a 235W PSU, a copper PIII FC-PGC fan, an 80x80 case fan and one of the SilentDrive Enclosures (are they really as difficult to fit as so many folks seem to say?), watch this space, I'll give you my impressions.
I might have the time to do it, getting round IR35 and losing a large boredom quota, might you understand

Try http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/2/18540.html to find out NASAs' rebuttal of that Register story. Seems it's not only/. that froths at the mouth at the thought of bashing IBM and Microsoft.
Some of the editors are just plain busy I spose, I always respond to emails and give feedback when needed (such as when a site was totally unuasable to netscape users)
Which is yet another reason this country needs a Bill of Rights or equivalent. All those people who forget the passwords for Word and Access documents, or like me have a zip disk that they can no longer access are now potential criminals.

And a fine article it is too, but since then all the machines that were running the bugged finger and VERY insecure version of sendmail will have been patched (this is *NOT* 100% true I have seen a sendmail 4 box out there).

Agreed, however a decent installer for Linux and a little bit of common sense can result in a box infinitly more secure than anything MS could create.

Nice summary btw! We're just getting a disposable PC here to test it out on, PLEASE NOTE folks, it also overwrites files on drives mounted over the network.

I lost my job due to someone claiming it was a "hacking tool" and the stupid boss believing him (I'd rattled this guys cage a few times).
Mind you, the contract biz is quite lucrative for me at the moment so maybe I should thank him for making me get on with it
