Have you ever tried ipfilter on freebsd? I think it is no inferior to iptables of linux based on my experience of both. Basically, I believe *BSD is more unix than linux.
Basically, open source software systems are more secure than closed source one, that not only because there are more choices, but also because open source software provide source code that permit you to build up a trustworth system. for some emergent situation, a knowlege user can amend or alter his/her software to avoid more seriuos outcomes even without help from vendors. Another important thing is that open source software encourage users to learn and to master their own systems, that help people get out of habits of being clueless that is one of the most important reasons to bring insecurities to systems.
Sue SCO instead pay SCO. I'd rather to pay a lawyer than pay SCO. Basically, if Linux become illegal, then SCO instantly become illegal: because current SCO was Caldera System (http://www.caldera.com/company/profile.html), a linux distributor when it purchased former SCO. And at that time, the currently claimed 2.4 kernel had already been released.
Based on above facts, the investors of Caldera, of former SCO or of current SCO and business partner of SCO can also sue SCO.
Also developers can sue SCO for its violate GPL.
It is really fun to see so much parties entitled to sue SCO!
I have learned a great deal from its stories: a crap company can sue over nearly everything that doesn't belong to it. Why members of OSS community not sue it back for the real damage it caused? Whatever you were a investor of SCO or reseller, developer, system integrator or user of Linux, if SCO can win, you DO have chances to win!
As SCO claims its copyright and sues GPL community, on the very same base, the GPL community, included but not limited to developers, users, legal experts, etc, should also claim their rights. If any part of SCO products(for example: vi, emacs, IP stack, etc) has based on GPL code but failed to follow GPL fully, the members of GPL community have rights to sue SCO for infringing GPL and request repay the damages caused by SCO(for example, fail to extend and develop products based on GPL code used by SCO but did not followed GPL and lost coresponding revenue).

Great article!
We need more suits againt SCO to stop it. How about a open source suits(OSS) project against SCO? It will be fun.
