Russell,

Any news on the supposed "cracking" of your Debian SE box? I am very curious about this matter. Also, when do you think that you will be standing that box back up?

 Brad Spender of the GR Security project has claimed that my Debian SE      
 Linux                                                                      
 play machine was cracked.  A quick inspection didn't show any evidence of  
 a                                                                          
 crack, but as it's almost impossible to find a backdoor on a machine       
 without                                                                    
 booting from known good media I have not looked in detail.  To fully       
 investigate                                                                
 this I will have to remove the machine from the co-location center.        
                                                                            
 Brad states that he will provide evidence within 24 hours, I am eagerly    
 looking                                                                    
 forward to this.                                                           
                                                                            

 In any case I may put the Debian machine off-line for a while. Most of my  work is on Fedora now and I don't think that two play machines offers any

 significant benefit over one.
