[ale] hackers and thier methods

[Chris Fowler]

Think small.  Think kernel + 1 piece of software.  Now the force is with
you.  Build on top of that.

I do not know what 75% of my RH install does.  By that admission I'm at
risk.

it offers no hacks as i see it but i suppose my REAL question is, can a
linux hacker or someone hacking linux run programs outside of your box that
will configure, alter the box? or do you have to add programs such as a text
editor in order to alter text? and what stops them from installing or
"planting" them on my server?
