Linux Distributions Respond to Forrester

dave writes "GNU/Linux vendors Debian, Mandrake, Red Hat, and SUSE have joined together to give a common statement about the Forrester report entitled "Is Linux more Secure than Windows?". Despite the report's claim to incorporate a qualitative assessment of vendor reactions to serious vulnerabilities, it treats all vulnerabilities are equal, regardless of their risk to users. As a result, the conclusions drawn by Forrester have extremely limited real-world value for customers assessing the practical issue of how quickly serious vulnerabilities get fixed."

My wife doesn't believe me, but I was up on Robson in Vancouver, BC and saw a dead ringer for UBL about a month before 9/11.

Not that I'd have any idea what ultra-orthodox UBL would be doing on Robson. It doesn't seem like his kind of place.
