EDITION, Wednesday, March 28, 2001 In-Reply-To: <000401c0b7cf$63fc3440$3b910f8e@dpsd.gov.calgary.ab.ca> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: At least one thing that this article mentioned was bull shit. You can't spread a virus from windows to linux partitions when windows is the os that is running. Unless of course someone has a way to mount linux type partitions under win32. This sounds like a load of crap article to me. They didn't mention any situations of where this happened. Sounds to me like scare tactics. It isn't going to be able to write files until it has root privileges on the linux machine. Bull shit I say bull f**king shit!! Standard disclaimer goes. I do not know all and I am very possibly wrong but none of this makes sense at all. Frank Carmickle phone: 412 761-9568 email: frankiec@dryrose.com
