I was speaking of more then just malware - backdoors can be installed through many methods. Some are not that obvious  Linux can have a backdoor installed to my friend. Yes, I realize you could create a red network - disconnected from internet - and nothing allowed to be attached - install what ever Flavor of Linux suits you and tromp through it but just seems like A - a waste of time B - Pointless risk Could just be me but - go rent a Seedbox and purchase an invite to a private torrent community (from the actual site not from here). Congrats you can now grab thousands of 720p HD movies - and tons that are just high quality. *shrug* But I guess I am paranoid. Peace, DigitalAlch
