Quick question - how does determine if the rootkit is running? I tried 
ps -u foo and did not see any listings for its processes. Also, the 
article was some what confusing about who is at risk. The kernel 
mentioned is used by Debian but it is an older version (2 something) not 
a 3 series and it is not clear to me if that is important.

I am using Mint 13 64 bit
