"How do the latest versions of each browser compare? For this prizefight, we looked at Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's first new Internet browser since 2001 and Mozilla Firefox 2, Mozilla's update of its popular Firefox 1.5 browser released in November 2005." This will be the last Firefox 2 vs. IE7 article. I promise.

The server was not cracked, it was hacked.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel allowed a user to escalate their privledges and own the server.
I suspect you are confused by the 2003 multiple owning of Debian servers and the 2006 owning of 1 Debian server.
I believe in 2003 the servers were owned for months.
You think the user hacked a password. I understand the (2006) user had a valid unprivledged account.
The server has source code for open source applications. This isn't a secret.
If they source code was compromised it would not be good.
I understand that when the GNU/Linux Savannah server was owned for several months source code would have been compromised. They had to go to backups that were months old because they didn't know for sure none of the source was compromised.
