Hi, I really dont understand the attitude of attack when somebody posts 
something like this. Not everybody is competant in using Ubuntu, and not 
everybody understands the risks involved especially considering for 
years its been pushed as a safe OS. All i have done is post this to the 
group, I dont appreciate this attitude. It doesnt give Ubuntu a good 
light when people see this.
