You can't walk into a Windows thread without it turning into a Linux war :lol:
If Linux doen't have a GUI then why do you have fancy stuff on the screen and not just a wall of text? :p
Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Linux doesn't have a GUI, it's a kernel. If your GUI software is hanging don't you think it could be a bug in that? :p
Aye carumba! The bit with the mousey pointer and windows n stuff borks and hangs. As to what causes it, dunno. Don't care. Something is bugged. Google "ubuntu hang" - there is loads of info about it. I've had to connect via putty and issue a reboot before now. My impression is people are adding more bells n whistles to it without ensuring the basics function correctly.
Give me a Windows PC, DOS PC or PC with Linux+GUI and I can get stuff done with it. Give me Linux on a terminal without a GUI and I feel like I'm in a foreign country. Or even worse, I feel like I'm looking at a C64 prompt. I have no idea what to do with it. :)
Speaking of Operating Systems and vulnerabilities... If someone has a Spectrum accessible remotely via Spectranet and important information saved on its memory or mass storage device, would a real hacker know what they're dealing with? Would he or she know how to get in or would it be hacker-proof? :grin:
He'd probably take one look at the files and think, "What the F**k is this?!?!?", then run them through some decryption software on the off chance that maybe sensitive data had been compressed with something interesting...... :-P

Well currently there's no file server that runs on the spectrum.
In addition I refer you to the tnfs protocol documentation:
Security
This is not intended to be a proper, secure network file system. If you're
storing confidential files on your Speccy, you're barmy :) Encryption,
for example, is not supported. However, servers that may be exposed to the
internet should be coded in such a way they won't open up the host system
to exploits.

Er, I assume because you're running some GUI software... :roll:

Fixed that for you... :)
I suggest installing Debian instead
