Did I say it was that? I merely stated that it was more
resistant to the BS than other, less well-thought out OSes.

I _know_ nothing is impervious- I used to show that to the
college IT staff on a weekly basis at my alma mater before
I got a little too sloppy and they figured out who in the
hell was snooping about in thier machines... :-)
(Ended up having a nice long (45-min to an hour) chat about
nosing about in machines that didn't belong to me with the
director for IT. Suffice it to say, I didn't do THAT again)

Anyhow...Merry Christmas, everybody!
