Perhaps you should inform me what installations you have. It might be
fun to compare notes.

One of the tactics used by people who have argued them selves into
a corner and can no longer defend their position is to change the 
subject. I don't know what OBERON is. I have never said i did.
I don't care what it is and if you have been playing with the
code there is a 99.999 percent chance i will never install it.

I think the subject is security and operating as root on a Linux 
system.

So let me get this straight. First they penetrate my fire wall then
they somehow negotiate my spam filter taking control of my computer
and wreak havoc on the internet. Are you on some kind of medication
or been indulging in Mary dyou wanna?
