I think I still have a copy of that book in a box somewhere. I know I have a scanned copy in my archive. Lots of fun.

Low hundreds of billions?

They sure make the task of keeping an eye on the chuds easier. Their OPSEC eats donkey ass.

Why would they hide anymore? They figure they won. No sense in not taking advantage of everything that implies.

I keep a documentation page in my wiki for every thing I set up - how I did it, what I ran into, how I fixed it, and where everything is. Reason being, when it comes time to upgrade or I have to install it again someplace else, I remember how I did it. Basically, every completed step gets copy-and-pasted into a page along with notes about it.

As for watching the file system, I have AIDE on all of my boxen (configured to run daily, but not configured to copy the new AIDE database over the old one automatically). That way, I can look at the output of an AIDE run and see what new files were created where (which would correspond to when I installed the new thing).

The Great Game continues, same as it always has.

You can have them installed next to one another. Just like you can have Firefox and Links installed at the same time. Or twm and gnome3. It comes down to how much work you want for yourself.

Depends on your distro, I think.

If only for the sake of one's CV. Making your bones by having a couple of 0-days under your belt helps a lot of folks find jobs these days.

It is. That's why Wayland is being pushed so hard, it's a codebase that's actually maintainable, with hopefully some more modern design and engineering principles.
