Botnets Love to Target Hosted IP Space
I run a hosted server at The Planet to host my websites. The Planet provides a great service for a relatively low cost of entry. The only problem is their IP space is a big target for bots. It seems like every minute, another automated attack is being carried out on my IP address. I can sit there and watch the login attempts from IP addresses all over the world. It's scary and exciting at the same time, to see people banging on your front door, trying different keys, hoping one will work.
Linux on the Desktop
I love Linux. I've been using it for more than 10 years, ever since RedHat 4.2 came out. I've run it as my primary desktop environment for 5 or 6 of those years, and thoroughly enjoyed it... at the time.
Fast forward to today though and my patience with Linux has changed tremendously. Back then I had time to mess with it, configure and troubleshoot it. Today however, I just want it to work and behave nicely without giving me any problems.
