Well I might be the owner of FTN, and I might not. I don't think that's really relevant, however regarding the hacking here's a link for you: http://torrentfreak.com/hackers-spen...ations-071229/
FTN has never to my knowledge ever been "hacked" at a site level. And if it has, they must have seen the furry friends post in the staff section and become too warm and cuddly inside to actually do anything b/c no damage has ever been done to the site in that regard.
Regarding the last part, I only use CLI for servers. I do run gnome at home for one of my main desktop PC's, but I personally find it retarded to run any type of GUI (gnome, kde, or X in general) due to the fact that it's not needed and wastes resources. I'm not a linux noob if that's what you're trying to aim at, and I do use linux as my main OS (no not ubuntu although I am impressed with it in its terms of trying to become more mainstream). If your next question has to do with the other most common when someone points that finger, my password is an alpha-numeric password that consists of a length of 14 and has both upper-case and lower-case letters, I do not run ssh on port 22, and I have locked the sshd port to my IP through iptables on the majority of my servers.
I'll be modest and say I'm not what I would personally consider any expert, but I'm in no way or shape anywhere near noob level.
Regarding the posts above about me wasting my time in here, I agree.
So having said that, carry on and have a nice day. I have an exciting dentist appointment to get to.
