X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-promo&m=103557168301746 MIME-Version: 1 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--Boundary-02=_uJZu9kXQdS6B1By" --Boundary-02=_uJZu9kXQdS6B1By Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Description: signed data Content-Disposition: inline Hi all, ( Reply-to set to kde-promo@mail.kde.org ) there is another nice publicity chance for KDE now: Reacting on my comments to a linuxguru.net article that was erroneously stating that a KMail user could start a windows *.exe virus (attached to a mail) by clicking on it and having it run by WINE *without* having been warned, David (djm) one of the linuxguru editors offered me to publish our _own_ article covering these topics. He wrote: "Write your own article on the subject of the vulnurability of Linux users to infections via cross-platform virii." Since the erroneous article (called "WINE: A new place for KLEZ to play") did *not* cover a cross-platform virus but an ordinary windows virus we IMHO should cover both topics in our text: * Vulnerability by having windows virusses executed via WINE. * Vulnerability by cross-platform virusses. Of course this article can be a big chance for KDE to present our nice interfaces in little screenshots and to mention the fine fact that KDE users are _warned_ before an attachment is opened via WINE and so on... and so on... Unfortunately :-( my time must be spend on the Kroupware project now so I cannot affort writing this interesting article myself. Who of you can do that? It would be a shame if we couldn't use this chance to get some more free publicity on KDE -- even more since the previous article mentioning these false things even made it to slashdot.
