You'd like me to be irrelevant since I blow holes in your BS constantly. If those linux systems weren't rebuilt after they were compromised, you boys have been making a big mistake downloading from them ever since. That's like "windows update" getting cracked, can you imagine the uproar from you if something like that happened to Microsoft? It would be non stop.

Madam,

You are so full of crap that I couldn't care less what a raving lunatic like you has to say.

Again, you are irrevelant. 

Don't you folks hate trolls?

As usual, you're showing where you have no idea what you're talking about or just can't read. As I promised, I won't call you ignorant, since you purposely avoid knowledge. It's too kind of a word for you.

The compromised FSF computer was replaced and files posted to the new server after verification (good security practice, keeping hashes of your files). The Debian and Gentoo systems were running file integrity checkers, which pinpoint exactly what was modified by the attacker at the file level (no archaic registry to mess with and search through), making cleanup easy and sure.
