Finally, the article is meant for those with some familiarity with UNIX, but who are new to IceWM. |

Cracking passwords is incredibly easy. I learned how to crack passwords only days after I figured out how to get Linux to recognize my dialup modem. My 14-year-old brother taught me. A user with a recent Pentium-class desktop can launch a brute force password attack that can try upwards of 10 million word variations per second.

Review: Suse 9.1 Professional |
|
Tuesday, 20 July 2004 |
|
The installation of Linux, like other operating systems, should not be taken lightly. This incarnation of SuSE Linux, like previous versions, uses a GUI style install that is easy to follow and doesn't look like it was written by bored engineers who forgot about end users. |
