As a Linux distributor who got his start in Linux in the early '90s (before the enterprise Linux boom), I think it is shameful to any and all Linux distro vendors to see the words "it's cheaper running M$" in any article on this subject! That is one of the core values on which Linux was founded; to remove the cost from the operating system. Redhat, Novell, and others all need to heed these warning signs and quit trying to profit from what they did not write.
If there is not a viable free open-source security solution available for Linux, it is our _responsibility_ as free software developers to create one... ASAP.
Anyone want to start a project to fix this little problem? Who's with me?
