Title: Mandrake Linux ate my CD drive!
Post by: TeaLeaf on November 01, 2003, 08:09:05 AM
Here's a true chuckle about some Mandrake users who will now find their entire installation at risk.  You can read about it here (http://www.theregister.com/content/54/33648.html).  

Who said that Linux didn't have any viruses?  This one is just as destructive.....

As an aside, the Dead Men Folding team is about to overtake the MandrakeLinux team, but I guess that is probably due to their systems being blatted by that nasty virus-like 'driver' problem they are having  :lol:  At least they'll gain more reformat and reinstall experience  :P
