Debian and its clones The Debian GNU/Linux project today admitted a hacker had compromised one of its internal servers. "Early this morning we discovered that someone had managed to compromise gluck.debian.org," Debian developer James Troup wrote in an e-mail to the Debian community. "We've taken the machine offline and are preparing to reinstall it," Troup continued, noting a number of key services were currently offline as a result.

I suggest you check the date on that email, or look at the url, or in the very least read some of it yourself, such as these parts:

"Wednesday 19th November (2003)" and "Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 01:04:00 +0000"

I don't think so. That post is from 2003.

I disagree that every post concerning Linux must be compared to Microsoft and vice-versa. As a NetBSD, Solaris and Windows user, if this were the same kind of post, my concern would be how the problem affects me and how to update my system.
