Speaking of IF, THEN
NetworkWorldFusion is reporting that if you are running a version of the Linux kernel prior to 2.4.23 you may want to check on a patch for a serious security exploit that could allow 3133t hax0rz 2 0wnz U. All distributions with kernels prior to 2.4.23 are affected. The exploit has already been used in the wild so the bad guys are already aware of it and are using it. So, get your patch and install it. Now.
Aloha!
