They could just run OpenBSD [openbsd.org].

Rights or not

The Iranian hackers should first learn English. I was banging my head on the table reading that grammatically incorrect junk.

I'm convinced!

[Necrotica]

The US and EU better let Iran develop a nuclear energy program or these senseless acts of web terrorism will never stop!

Novell Wiki was hacked too.

Site is currently down.

Re:How does this help ?

[wetdirtmud]

I didn't know they had computers in Iran. Maybe they only use them for hacking, and not for checking up on news, or reading about the diffrences between Government Agencies and Operating Systems.

Step away from the fissionable material...It is obviously causing you brain damage.

script kiddies

Just goes to show you that any jackass can type "./the_great_script" and replace a home page. More evident that Iran has its fair share of jackasses like the rest of the world.

I've yet to understand what they said. The grammar and spelling were atrocious.

Re:Don't blame LINUX

[dasunt]

People always try to blame the software right away but usually it's poor administration.

Isn't this the same flaw Windows has?

Re:Oh sweet sweet irony...

[UWSarge]

If it was a website about Linux, it probably wouldn't even need to be hacked to make the front page of /. if it was running Windows

Right, so how good is your Arabic again?

Hey,

Your logic and reason are not welcome here.

This would not have happened if ...

[ravee]

This would not have happened if the people at Novell had used Ubuntu Linux. :)

Don't you mean ./t3h_l33t_5cr1pxx0r?

If a site running Windows Server 2003 was hacked, would it make the front page of /.?

No, it wouldn't. People would get pissed about having to dig through 100000 stories of "Yet another cheesy Windows server hacked" until they found a real story.

Maybe they were just tired of the poor performance

[alhaz]

The OpenSuSE server has been sucking wind for weeks, and i know for a fact that trouble tickets have been submitted about it within Novell.

Maybe they were just trying to lend a hand with the administration . . . .

Told you so

[CSHARP123]

I had told novell not to run their websites on Windows OS. They wont listen. See now

Re:They have a website

[Anonymous Coward]

its likely being hosted in iran so no one can do jack shit

The Bush Administration is working on that
