Beware of running Linux with
Micro$oft Windows Inside (TM)

The Tainted Kernel infected
by design, by Closed Sourcers


What a Tainted Kernel is.


Sorry this page isn't ready yet, I have a fair amount of research to do before I can finalize it.



Ideas::


Here's a rhetorical question to think about...




Q:  How do you make the worlds most impregnable fortress of an operating system, freely invite Windows malware in, and then crash as often as Windows does?

A:  Simple you gene splice rickety unmodified Windows drivers directly into the Linux/BSD/Hurd Kernel.




Someone I know attempted to use the NDIS driver to gene splice a poorly written third party Windows 802.11 Wireless driver into an otherwise healthy Linux Kernel.  Under Windows this same driver crashed the machine is was running on everytime the signal was poor enough to drop the connection, or the user intentionally initiated a wireless interface disconnect.  Now would you expect it to run any better under Linux?
