 You know you may have a point, after all Cobalt sells these servers,
 stating that it only takes 15 minutes to put one on the Internet.
 Of course they don't mention that 30 seconds later some script-kiddies
 are tearing the servers up!
 I believe there have been more Cobalt's cracked than any other servers,
 cracked servers are hardly mentioned on the isp-linux or bind list.

BUT is that because  I can assume that cobalt  owners...are more the type os 
'users' out of the box and dont worry, while when you install linux you most 
likely have a bit ( not a lot) more os knowledge and thus might do a better 
job 'defending' your syber kingdom.

BUt hey why take cobalt to court...lets make a POSSE and hound the hackers 
down...There are no leaves on the trees here yet, so one or tow danging 
hacker bodies on some tree limbs migth look good.  At least it will keep the 
wolves out of the garbage.
