Hi Martin,

It's amazing what's on  there - past distros and all! At first I thought Italy but then a
Whois showed:

He's not running a server out of his bedroom via a 9600 baud modem - so I wonder why the
connection speed was so slow. But all things for the Linux user!!

Am I getting paranoid in my old age? In  the 20 or so years of Linux not a single virus.
Then 15 years of IBM's OS/2 not a single virus. But for the odd 2 or 3 friends that run
Windoze I get the odd phishing or virus. BTW ClamAV even suggests that files normally found
on your system contain a virus ............... so I never quite trusted what it would say.

How you getting on with encryption?

Cheers!

David
