I can't say why they broke in (many months ago),
but recently they announced their presence by
introducing some new shared libraries and truly
fouling up the system. The Linux installation was
an untended Ubuntu 8.04, so it's not so surprising.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and set up automatic
upgrades this time, but ultimately it's not a terribly
important machine. A reinstall every two and
a half years seems like a good deal in exchange
for having to do absolutely no day-to-day
administration.
