My computer is a stand-alone box, except my laptop that is running Linux as well being a part of my little network. But I communicate with folks using Windows.

So, I have to take some steps to protect them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
