This is definitely a move in the right direction for linux, i hope this sets an example for other schools to follow along. Not only will this introduce linux to newbies that would otherwise only consider using it after living in a microsoft world for a while, they might even consider adopting it as their main operating system at home. If it weren't for apple pushing schools so hard to use their computers, they wouldn't have made in nearly as far as they did. maybe we can see the same for linux ?
www.javaradio.com has links to several shortwave receivers around the world connected to the internet. The lag between the audio and the controls is horrible, if you can bare with that it can be quite interesting.
I deliberately started apache (as an @home customer i'm not 'supposed' to run servers) just to watch the incoming Code Red connections... in the past 4 hours, i've seen 215 connections, most of which from the same class B as me:
cr806461-a:/var/log/apache# cat error.log | grep "24.156" | awk {' print $8 '} | uniq | wc -l
143
This one is spreading fast!
What the hell does the licensing have to do with how successful a scripting language is ??? If anything it would greatly add to it's success with all the user contributions which would otherwise be impossible with restrictive licensing, that being the same argument that can be made with any GPL'ed program, and why I like this license so much. I'm sure we've all heard enough argument involving the GPL so anything I could say here would just be redundant. I don't know what your definition of "successful" is, but TCL is a damn fine language which is very embeddable, not to mention it's licensing is almost identicle to GPL (I'm reading the license now and as far as I can tell, it's just the GPL with another name)
These hackers probably weren't anywhere near china... The article said the some of the logs showed activity from other parts of the world. Hacking into a foreign computer and using it as a means to hack into another network anonymously isn't uncommon, actually, just about every so called hacker/cracker with ANY experience does this.

Hmm... could that be wkdbots.ath.cx ?

www.netcraft.com is usually pretty accurate for guessing the operating system:
The site www.sourceforge.net is running Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_ssl/2.8.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 on Linux.
ls -lR / >/tmp/before
run the application for a while
ls -lR . >/tmp/after
diff/tmp/before/tmp/after
?...
sure, alot of files would be changed due to other processes, but figuring out which shouldn't change isn't that hard.
I always get confused with these arguments about which operating system is the most secure. Sure, out of the box most linux distro's are alot less secure than openbsd, if you spend the whole 10 minutes it takes to disable all the inetd servers except for the needed ones, disable telnetd, disable ftpd if it's not needed, check which binary's are running suid root, would this not make it as secure as say openbsd ? I rarely hear of any exploit code which attacks the linux kernel itself, therefore it's reasonable to assume the lack of security of a distribution is simply the way it was put together, not linux in general.
