A new & customize version of Ubuntu can be found from http://www.ylmf.org/ which is almost look and feel like WinXP. Is it Co-incidence where there is a scam circulating about DDos Attack to domain owner
There is a wind blowing on Linux-Bd (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bd/2010-August/007191.html) Mailing list and I wrote a Warning Post on it which is given bellow:
Brother, just wait please. Don’t start in production environment, as it is offering from China.
Recently, there was a scam circulating about DDos Attack to domain owner if he/she don’t pay US20 by 48hours of time, their website will be under DDoS attack. See my posting on this issue. Though it was a ‘Copy & Pest’

A lot of Win PC/Server/Workstation is currently under control of some kind of bot-net. As users are migrating from Win to Opensource, the Botnet owner(s) are scare about getting worried about the size of their Botnet though the power of harm someone.
See, the webpage of this project http://www.ylmf.org sudden release of a very attractive operating system. Though they are saying ‘Open Source’, where is there package’s source code? No option for donation, there is no way to mirror it, why they spending money alone for the project?
This is not a posting to make people afraid about the releases, but before connect to Internet be sure you have other protection (might be firewall / sniffer) before Internet Gateway (Specially for corporate user) . Just a warning from my experience. And the last word is China & Russia has the most powerful community of Hacker (Cracker / Cyber Criminal).
