Obviously this reporter never had their Windows 2K box repeatedly hacked so that windows slows to a crawl, and the kernel hangs -- only to reboot and be taunted by some little *beep* ( that hasn't seen sunlight since the introduction of xDSL )!!!
Nor have they had the joy of reformatting, and changing their NIC in hope resolving the problem -- only to be hacked by the same little *beep!!!
Since then I have been using Mandrake 9 as my primary OS-- and ALL ports are closed except for good old port 22!!!
In 30 years I will be old and gray, and won't have a care about my computer anymore...
