Microsoft is commonly believed to work hand in hand with the NSA, especially in the area of encryption. As an example, ref: German army RFP to develop a non-Microsoft OS, because all their internal email was routing itself through Denver, or the "Microsoft Key" and "NSA Key" debug notes that were left in Win98SE by accident, that allow sidegrades to be made quietly to the OS. But as part of the policy of "who watches the watchers?", the NSA is going to especially want its hand on intel agents. Which means intel agents should really use the official NSA release. Don't stick a Linux box on their system -- they'll know, and they won't be happy on two counts. Indeed, my advice would be that Intel agents really shouldn't use Linux at all. Just stick with Windoze -- why make the watcher-watchers worry? > -- > Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: > http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it > AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Part 1.2Type: application/pgp-signature -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
