[ILUG-Cochin.org] Hadron Collider's Linux distro CernVM hacked

[Toby Joseph]

Well, there was an article sometime back on the thread that the Hadron Collider was powered by GNU/Linux, and the author had provided this link
http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2008/09/large-hadron-collider---powere.html

I just would like to know your reactions to this:

Anyway, they have shut down the Collider for a few months now, but I was wondering what if this crack had fallen into the wring hands?

Don't get me wrong, I don't really belong to the M$ camp, but I'm just somebody who believes that despite all that Linux has managed to achieve, we simply cannot afford to rest on our laurels, and that we have miles and miles to go before we sleep.
