am I hacked ?

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

Life time for SuSE 7.3 on ppc
by Ingvar Hagelund 08 Dec '03

For how long will SuSE continue to produce security updates for SuSE-7.3 on ppc? If SLES is not an option, is there a future for SuSE users on ppc? Ingvar -- Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. Gandalf

Questions about RS/6000 dual 332Mh 7025-F50 and Linux

Hello, I'll be acquiring a couple of these boxes soon and hope to be able to get Linux running reliably on them. Is it clear that running SuSe 7.3 on them is the best option? I've seen a few pages on the net saying that Debian 3.0 also works (though getting it running appears to be quite a struggle)? Does anyone have any links to installation HOWTOs? Any other information/links would be much appreciated.
