It does appear to be down, but god knows why.  Now it seems to be running OpenBSD instead of Linux - but, why would SCO use EITHER of those?  :confused:

SCO is down because of MyDoom

News.com reports that it is because of myDoom that SCO website is down. I wonder if i could get it going mydoom going in wine or crossover office

[hm_murdock]

sco uses open source software

I should send that to a major news service

discrediting "respectable" people kicks ass

I love being a soundrel and a rogue

[Refalm]

For one thing, I like the SCO website to be down, because they are moneyhungry scumbags.

But don't you think that this whole MyDoom thing gives the Open Source community (esspacially the Linux ones) a bad name?
SCO is already called the "bad guy" by large IT corperations like Novell and IBM, and SCO is losing. This new virus can discredit that.

Maybe that was what it was for?

Personally, I would have preferred the MyDoom.b to have come out first. Normally, I hate viruses and hack virus writers, but I can't think of better justice then Microsoft being knocked offline by a virus that's using Windows systems worlwide to do it. After all, it's the tons of Windows viruses that help Windows become even more secure in the future, isn't it, Mr. Gates? Of course, it has nothing to do with how sloppily Windows was programmed that makes it so vulnerable to viruses in the first place, nor the fact that Microsoft isn't even trying to fix these problems. :rolleyes:

That's what the older/more mature people at www.linuxiso.org/forums seemed to think. I didn't agree with them.

Why would it?  :confused:   Is it because of the confusion over the word "hacker?"

[Pissed_Macman]

Anyone here have any confessions to make? I'd say there's a fairly good chance the maker of the virus, or at least someone who knows the maker, posts here.

Because lots of people are going to think that us Linux users are a bunch of savages who write malicous code infecting and hacking windoze machines.

Well, some of us are, but not all of us.

But the news said you are all cyber terrorists! The news can't lie!

People here have taller sigs than me still.
