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!)

Since you in the business of "ribbing on Windows", well, then it's my "civic duty" to show even MORE CURRENT INFORMATION about Linux being "so secure" (not):

*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
/. for years was "LINUX IS SECURE, WINDOWS IS NOT" b.s. ... so much for that, in light of current information above!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.
Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!
Even though Windows Server 2008 shows less unpatched security vulnerabilities http://secunia.com/advisories/product/18255/?task=advisories than the Linux CURRENT KERNEL ALONE

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!)

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?

Even though Windows Server 2008 shows less unpatched security vulnerabilities http://secunia.com/advisories/product/18255/?task=advisories than the Linux CURRENT KERNEL ALONE
-
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!)

Worse still, is what's in my subject-line, & you trying to say ANDROID doesn't use Linux @ the core/kernel level, lol... & its security being shown as lousy (yes, even @ the kernel level) isn't helping you, because there's 100's of such occurrences by now...

* That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too - how much more abuse can you heap upon yourself, lol?
Linux has 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities as well in its current mainstream kernel also:
http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/
http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/
http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/
(This is why readership on
/. has declined, after years of "FUD" lies spread by Penguins of "Linux is secure" b.s. - people got sick of the bullshit, & took off... period!)APK
P.S.=> You are embarassing yourself trying to "justify" Linux falling FLAT ON ITS FACE 20 seconds into the job @ the London Stock Exchange though...hilarious that!
Worse still, is what's in my subject-line, & you trying to say ANDROID doesn't use Linux @ the core/kernel level, lol... & its security being shown as lousy (yes, even @ the kernel level) isn't helping you, because there's 100's of such occurrences by now...

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)
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.
Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!
Even though Windows Server 2008 shows less unpatched security vulnerabilities http://secunia.com/advisories/product/18255/?task=advisories than the Linux CURRENT KERNEL ALONE http://secunia.com/advisories/product/2719/?task=advisories
