One more thing, if I'm gonna be a part of the Iowa group you all need to read THIS (if after reading it, you'd prefer that I NOT join, just be upfront and tell me so! OK?):

I won't be offended.
This hacking disaster *started* in Arkansas, but I've lived in Northern Iowa for a little over 3 and a half years now.
There is a second half to this story, and it can be found here:

Would ANY of you know somebody that does Linux security in Iowa (for payment I mean), I think that I have someone lined up here in Mason City, but if that was to fall through, do any of you do security on Ubuntu (I've got both Gutsy Gibbon 7.04, AND Hardy Heron 8.10)?
I'm going to buy either 'The Ratel' desktop, or 'The Wild Dog' desktop in July, both are sold by System 76.
I'm gonna put a really fast (and very SECURE) D-Link gaming router on it (

I *think* that with hardening the Linux Ubuntu distro, to the very maximum of it's ability, I THINK that I can stop this socio-path from destroying yet another computer (fingers crossed!)
I sure HOPE SO, anyways!
If any of you are interested in helping us in our plight, I'd love to speak with you.
Anyway, I've talked long enough.
I hope to hear from some of you soon!
