Re:Sorry, but it's not worth the time
Sorry, but it's not worth the time and whatever "spades" you're getting paid pack in are 99% emotional, not physical.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering. I actually RTFA'd to see if the author had any sort of real statistics, but he really doesn't; the one thing that's presented as any sort of evidence is Netcraft's list of most reliable hosting companies for February, which is pretty meaningless. Sure, the top three are running FreeBSD, but every other company on the list is running Linux (besides number 9, which is running Windows Server 2003).
Furthermore, if you look at the historical monthly data for "best datacenter", it's pretty obvious that the whole thing is hugely variable. Sure, in Feb 2011 the top three were FreeBSD sites; in April 2011, the top three were Rackspace (which runs something I've never heard of), Linux and Windows. You would imagine that if this were really a measurement of the operating system's reliability, the top ten lists would be fairly consistent; after all, it's not like the OS is changing significantly month to month. Instead, because it varies so much, this is probably mostly measuring how good the providers are at making sure data flows to and from their data center, instead of how good they are at responding to it.
And finally, the server admins who choose FreeBSD are pretty self-selecting. Someone who really knows how to tune and administer Linux is probably going to have just as stable a system as someone who really knows FreeBSD.

You're FULL OF IT, that advisory says
This, verbatim -> Solution Secunia is currently not aware of an updated kernel version addressing the vulnerabilities.
Also, if Linux is SO SECURE, then why did all of these breaches happen on it recently?
4/5 CA's breached recently ran Linux (from http://itproafrica.com/technology/security/cas-hacked/ & slashdot's recent article on digicert):

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=Comodo.com

Hmmm?
How about these breaches of security on Linux also??

This is sort of funny on that note in fact: I tried to post all of the known security issues I have catalogued here for it, & SLASHDOT's FORUM ENGINE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE LOAD (too many is why)...
Fact is, Android shows anyone that once Linux got a decent share of market on a platform, it too, can be found to be insecure & was benefitting on PC's via "security-by-obscurity" only (lack of widespread usage vs. competitors) & since nobody was using it? Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this) - this is, how it REALLY is. All the "fud" you heard on

http://secunia.com/advisories/41874/ [secunia.com]
That one for Windows? ColorUI.DLL??
What would you need that for in a SERVER first of all, especially one run in "headless" mode???
It's also EASILY worked-around, via 1 of 2 methods:
1.) Unregister the offending DLL (colorui.dll) IF it is of an OLE Server type lib/dll (or blow it off the disk & replace it with a stub until a patch releases, replacing it in "System File Protection Areas" Windows maintains also, to stop it being replaced again with a non-patched model...).
or
2.) Run in headless mode (which many servers do, & they run MORE EFFICIENTLY by not running the GUI too this way).

That one's EVEN EASIER!
All one has to do, is inspect the %PATH% environment var (echo %PATH% via commandline OR use the SYSTEM icon in control panel to edit it, both systemwide globally, OR by user profiles!).

P.S.=> On this issue though, in secure boot firmware? Seems that Linux = out of luck with next gen PC hardware then, in terms of secure boot functionality (unless it can get control of those keys, or find friendly hardware makers that allow some other (or that) work-around...)!
However, think about this: IF the firmware is an eeprom (eraseable/rewriteable), then WHY CAN'T THE LINUX FOLKS PICK A MOBO MAKER & WORK ON THAT TYPE OF WORK-AROUND? Is THIS possible in your estimation??
Heck - malware makers are out there doing THAT VERY THING, actually working @ the hardware level on BIOS exploiting that way (knew this was coming when I saw mobo maker utilities that allowed BIOS patching in Windows alone)

Linux extinction data (overall marketshare)
http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=8&qpcustomd=0
Says it all. 20 yrs. of existence and dead last in terms of overall marketshare on desktops.
Linux has its niche on servers because there's no cost to use it and that's the only reason it hangs on at all. Cheap.
(That "cheap" shows through in 3 multi-part unpatched security vulnerabilities (that actually come out to many more than 3 when you look at them) that are remotely exploitable!
* You were also unable to show work-arounds that an end user could do either as you were asked to do.
So much for Penguins knowing their own OS "weapon of choice" & I do mean WEAPON in the case of Linux, because hacker/crackers certainly ARE taking advantage of it... see these recent exploits:---

P.S.=> As to "extinction" well... This entire article's replies seem to insinuate that the Penguins "fear" this secure boot feature WILL make Linux extinct (I doubt that, but read some of the replies besides our own) & Linux's overall marketshare on desktops doesn't help...

Linux has its niche on servers because there's no cost to use it and that's the only reason it hangs on at all. Cheap.

An answer (on security, & Linux specifically)
Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):
Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!
(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)

*That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too, & as anyone reading can see? Linux isn't really "big" on security, especially lately!

P.S.=> And, lastly of course? There's ANDROID (a Linux variant/uses Linux kernel) so please, tell us - how's ANDROID doing on the security front?? Not very well...
This is sort of funny on that note in fact: I tried to post all of the known security issues I have catalogued here for it, & SLASHDOT's FORUM ENGINE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE LOAD (too many is why)...
Fact is, Android shows anyone that once Linux got a decent share of market on a platform, it too, can be found to be insecure & was benefitting on PC's via "security-by-obscurity" only (lack of widespread usage vs. competitors) & since nobody was using it? Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this)!
Yes folks, from the mindset of hacker/crackers - this is, how it REALLY is.
All the "fud" you heard on
There in ANDROID also? Bugs in the kernel too, not just bugs in the JAVA/Dalvik front end have been found on that note also.
Now, lol, the "Penguins" are trying to get a great security feature disabled to boot (pun intended) apparently, because they aren't able to keep pace with changes?
Tough cookies!

There in ANDROID also? Bugs in the kernel too, not just bugs in the JAVA/Dalvik front end have been found on that note also.
Now, lol, the "Penguins" are trying to get a great security feature disabled to boot (pun intended) apparently, because they aren't able to keep pace with changes?
Tough cookies!
Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!
Even though Wind

This is about SECURITY
Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):
Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!
(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)

*That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too, & as anyone reading can see? Linux isn't really "big" on security, especially lately!
APK
P.S.=> And, lastly of course? There's ANDROID (a Linux variant/uses Linux kernel) so please, tell us - how's ANDROID doing on the security front?? Not very well...
This is sort of funny on that note in fact: I tried to post all of the known security issues I have catalogued here for it, & SLASHDOT's FORUM ENGINE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE LOAD (too many is why)...
Fact is, Android shows anyone that once Linux got a decent share of market on a platform, it too, can be found to be insecure & was benefitting on PC's via "security-by-obscurity" only (lack of widespread usage vs. competitors) & since nobody was using it? Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this) - this is, how it REALLY is. All the "fud" you heard on
