Cute anti-spam technique:
Easy way to kill most spam on the spot:
- rename the name/link/etc. fields to something weird
- put this in your form:
(Leave these fields blank!)
- put this in the site stylesheet:
div.trap { display: none; visibility: hidden }
Then when processing the form, if there’s anything in the ‘name’ or ‘link’ fields, drop the post. This method alone has cut my spam by about 90-95%. I have no captcha, and no wonky heuristics that are eventually bound to flag legitimate data as spam at some point or another. Just a couple of innocent-looking fields that spambots fill in because they look important.

heh.. spose that's true. I haven't yet put a family member onto it, but keep threatening too. Beats having machines wiped out by viri/spyware.

I tried Ubuntu - it's very clean and pretty. I liked it a lot - then I put it in front of my SO and kids. Good luck trying to play a DVD or find files that they've saved. Regardles of the pretty surface of Linux - the underpinnings are old school unix file structures and operations. I lasted about a minute before opening a terminal window.
In reply to this comment by winkler1:
what about ubuntu? did you have a specific distro in mind?
In reply to this comment by dag:
I guess I misread the the graph.
To each their own. Linux is great if you have the skills to keep it patched and manage your window manager. I would never recommend it to any of my non-techie friends. Even the file manager would drive them batty. I also do a bit of graphical stuff and would sorely miss Photardshop and Illustrator. I've tried Gimp.
