      It's not news for the masses, it's for nerds, a subset of the masses.

      I'm hoping I've been trolled.

    Typical snobby Linux admin. You think just because you run some non-proprietary os that forces you to use archaic command lines to do anything that you are superior. The reason MS admins have so many problems is that 90% of the world runs Windows platforms, and therefore 90% of the "security research" is aimed at windows boxes. It's real easy to sit there smugly and say how secure you *nix boxes are when you have to deal with 1% of the amount of flaws a MS admin does. Does Microsoft produce more flaws in their OS? Possibly. But I bet if 90% of the hackers out there started picking apart *nix code the field would level out a bit. Just because you use *nix doesnt make you better or even more knowledgeable, it just makes you limited to 10% of the job market.
