New Inq: "Security bug hits Linux Sharp machine" (Attn: Doug M!)
Inquirer article: [link|http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=4386|Security bug hits Linux Sharp machine].

"The Sharp Zaurus SL5000D/SL5000, which uses a Linux operating system, has two major Achilles' Heels which affect system security", it sez.

Microsoft is a true reflection of Bill Gates' personality - the sleaziest, most unethical, ugliest little rat's ass the world has seen unto this time. -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=42971|Andrew Grygus]

New Re: Have the SL-5500 but am assuming same problem applies

In my case I don't often connect to the internet with it other that to test it. The device is really too small to be taken seriously for web browsing but there are a lot of companies wanting to use PDAs as front-ends to business processes. The Zaurus has that market in mind.

The main web site for the zaurus is www.myzaurus.com - they haven't mentioned any problems but did announce last month, the full bios upgrade.

Cheers

Doug
