I build all my machines with a small C:, and a large D and/or E.
OS goes on C:, mail, documents, pdfs, everything else on D.
I can wipe clean and rebuild a machine in about an hour.
Right now I have 9 working laptops and two desktops within my sight, running anything from Win95 to XP and RH9. Still lloking for a decent Linux distro with a good desktop look/feel.
Funny, cause last night when I first saw this thread, I was gonna put a blurb in about the NETSTAT command (which is how I detected I was hijacked), and then later last night I was watching a video about the kid who broke into the NASA computers, and he basically said the same stuff!
PC's are just a hobby. My real work is on Big Blue big iron.
Do you have a link to that video about the kid breaking into n asa?
