I found by means of this blog here, a couple guides for installing Mandriva and Fedora Core 6. I haven’t personally used these guides, nor have I personally installed either of the OSes. These guides however seem pretty thorough and show how to install all the basic Open Source software to get basic everyday tasks done. I’ve got links to both Linux OSes in my sidebar.
Vista’s UAC (User Account Control) which Microsoft said would the bread and butter of their new security features can easily be rendered useless. Pcworld has this article(printable version) that has more information.
The rundown is that a seedy malware writer can do some crafty scripting and add a dll file to the hard drive, then when the malware attempts to run Vista will run the UAC and change warning dialog to a dialog which signifies that this is part of the operating system itself and inherently safe. By this time the user is already accustom to clicking confirm and automatically clicks and poof magically infected system.
Microsoft responded with this “They did not see it as an issue,”. Therefore nothing is being done about this.
I’ve been playing around with making a logo for my computer repair on the side business. I’ve come up with a couple different choices. Let me know what you think of them. Personally I like the first the best. I got to thinking after I did the second one that If the monitor had been shot that it wouldn’t still be on. The third one was just a little to plain for my taste.
