Well, VA in this country exists in total of two full time employees plus
me, and the other two don't have a Linux background so it's not totally
unexpected. Someday when we have more people here we'll get them to
switch :).=20

Hehe, I wonder if she was sending html mail to cause that flame :).
Hmm, lets check my mailbox for VA email:

X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.10 i686)
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.10 i686)
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.13 i686)
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (Win98; I)
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.13 i686)
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0.14ext3nfs20000320marc=

X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs  Lucid
X-Mailer: XFMail 1.4.4 on Linux

Surprisingly enough nobody in VA who uses netscape is running a kernel
that isn't vulnerable to a root exploit, and netscape seems to be
very popular. Power-uesrs seem to use mutt or xemacs, with the exception
of Jeremy Allison who uses netscrape.

Next up: match the VA employee with the mail client!

Oh well, enough off-topicness for one day :)

Wichert.
