There's an interesting discussion on hacking going on over at LinuxForums. A poster from Fullerton, California who uses Suse Linux says he's been the target of hackers hired by a world wide multi-million dollar company after a Wikipedia slip exposed his IP address, among other things.

Red Hat has made it clear: it won't enter into a deal with Microsoft like the one Novell struck with the Redmond software giant. But Red Hat does want to interoperate with its rival. What's a leading Linux distributor to do? Have its cake and eat it too? Refuse the patent covenant and forge an alliance anyway?

Microsoft says it's no game unless Red Hat agrees to mutual patent indemnification. Microsoft says you ... More
