My question is how did you end up meeting your wife?
(Sorry if this is detailed in your Just a geek book, currently only have Dancing Barefoot which is great, plan to buy other book next month when I will have time to read it)
Really, this not a troll.
Yes SUN didn't "force" anyone to teach their lang. but majority of 4 year colleges here in U.S. are using Java for comp sci 1 + 2. It's not like you have a choice in being taugh comp sci 1 + 2 in C++ or pascal etc.
Why is MS's lang. worse than SUN's to be using for a class or two?
Instead of helping the person with his original question you are sounding off about your setup and not giving the person any specifics on how he should go about making *his* machine secure.
Another post that is useless to a new person.
If you are going to try and help someone stop trying to show off as "eleet"
To the rh 7.2 new user:
If it's a desktop machine then you are correct that you dont need any services.
If you want to check anyways what, if any services are running which in futre could cause problems (for ex. an ftp server which has a remotly exploitable bug)
try the command
netstat -a | grep LISTEN
this will list all the ports by their names that are listening.

(note: the patches can be auto downloaded and installed with the update program)
It's sad how Redhat bashing has become another "in" thing to do like bashing MS.
I've been using several distros of Linux at work and at home.
Redhat distros are no more or less secure than other distros.
99.9% of the vulnerabilities in rh linux are also present in other distros.
What, do you think redhat makes wu_ftpd or sendmail?
The only diff. I see is that Redhat has no shame in admiting to the vulnerabilities and making the patches avail in an easy to find and download site.
This is one of the reasons why people think redhat is unsecure etc etc, they see bug reports or the patch list from Redhat and say "omg look at all the bugs!"
As far as running services by default Redhat has stopped running all services except ssh. by default.

Slavery huh, I regularly see (and personally know one person) H1B workers making $40,000 - $60,000 in New York.
Not bad for slavery...

Only real solution to fuel problems http://www.phoenixproject.net
but that's not a surprise.
And why did this post get modded up?
No we cant, because there isn't an opensource solution as good as exchange...yet (hopefully)
And how is the p4 slower than the P3??

I wonder how much work really went into it. 8 is already shipping with 75% of it's software from GNU ports
These people have waaayyy too much free time
Why? Because people don't want interactivity from their TV, they want to sit back, relax and have a "story" told to them.
*yawn* How many times has this been written about?
Why? Because he showed an easier way to do the exact same thing?
