Like the fact that FTP.GNU.ORG is host to GCC, the C compiler that is used to create binaries for the kernel and most server apps like Apache. Your false assurances that this web server doesn't house important Linux code just blows what little credibility you have.

And your intentional omission of the small fact that although the FSF server was hacked, no trojans were found in GCC or any other software, makes you an obvious Micrsoft shill, sent forth with your brother minions to lie, spin, deceive and generally make a lot of negative noise about Linux, GNU and the GPL.

As I said before, you outed yourself, troll.

What happened is not as important as the fact that intrusion went undetected for so long. Even it it was an inside job, it indicates a lack of management skill on the part of those in charge.

You can't possibly know that. If you do actually claim it, you're lying.

...makes you an obvious Micrsoft shill...

Ridiculous. TheEngineer points out that you intentionally omitted the fact that GCC -- the same tool used in compiling the Linux Kernel -- was open to attack. And, in your twisted way of thinking, that makes him "an obvious Microsft shill" [misspelling yours]. So, by extension, anybody that points out your illogic is a "Microsft shill". It's pretty obvious who the shill is here. You've got your nose buried so far up the "open source community's" crack that you'll be lucky to ever see daylight again...

I posted to make a limited but important point: That your assurance to js1138 that the hacked site didn't house important Linux code was false and misleading:

The hacked site wasn't "the Linux development servers," it was the Free Software Foundation FTP site. It houses no Linux core source code, only code for GNU userland tools.

I pointed out that FTP.GNU.ORG is host to GCC, the C compiler that is used to create binaries for the kernel and most server apps like Apache. That's pretty important core Linux code.

I prefer openness.

Perestroika would be a better description.

...many of us have had some stern words for them [FSF].

Really? Did they call you a Microsoft shill?
