2 linux systems


hello,

consider this:

ive got 2 separate linux systems, on different partitions on the same HD.

if i was working in 1 of the linux systems, could an attacker from the internet side be aware that i have another sytem on a different partiton and gain access to that system and its files?

Well if they got root control of one, the could certainly see the other partition, mount it, do whatever, but that's a pretty serious attack.
