Well I want to give something back for the great learning experience I've
had.
I just had a breakin, so I'm not quite as happy as I should be, sorry.
Well, I was hoping that I could adopt a package,, I'm now trying to find
the source for phosphorous,, it is a memory sharing system that
compliments PVM (parrallel virtual machine) I'm going to string together
people's discarded machines.
I know a small bit about C coding,, I'm pretty good with hardware now,
I've built machines, repaired them, and my last build from scratch was a
dual pentium system..
With this type of background, should I do ok at adopting a simple
package,, or go nuts on something like phosphorous?
I am not allowed to work in Australia for another 18 months, so I have
some time,
This breakin does bug me though..
I've just got done upgrading to 2.0 about 2 weeks ago. I had Apache from
bo get hacked, so I upgraded,, and read a bunch on security, but ???
Thanks alot for your interest,,
Cheers,
Dean
