One Dad's Take: Why Windows Could be Worse Than Teen Dating
,----[ Quote ]
| Though most of the machines at home are
| currently Linux driven, there are a couple
| of Windows machines in the house that are
| used by my children for Software they
| Cannot Live Without. My teenager likes
| games, and my tweenager is quasi-addicted
| to iTunes.
|
| Being a tolerant Dad you have to know when
| to pick your battles. This may be a shock
| to some Linux users out there, but compared
| to boys, piercings, and parties, letting
| them run Windows seemed to rank very low on
| the Dad scale of things that can possibly
| go wrong. Did I mention boys?
|

|
| Instead, I launched my KNOPPIX liveCD and
| used this great Linux utility distribution
| to hunt down and kill the errant files that
| I found online in this list. There were
| also registry entries to delete, and
| KNOPPIX has an on-board registry editor
| (WINE-enabled) that lets you get in and fix
| things, too. For me, using Linux as a
| solution tool made absolutely sure that
| things were done right.

A sensation of wonder about technological developments
,----[ Quote ]
| So, after all this reading, one thing
| becomes clear: knowing where our computers
| are connecting to can become the difference
| to detect infections. Later developments
| seem to favor built in messaging clients
| with login data. This means that those bots
| are connecting as we connect the computer,
| even when not being part of any attack,
| only waiting forever, making it easy to
| spot this with any port scanner.

Run Evernote in Ubuntu Linux with Wine

| I may even try running some other Windows programs in Wine at
| some point. Maybe. But there are so many excellent native Linux
| apps, I may not need to.
