Linux, being a free OS, ends up with newbie admins all over the place. The defaults arent too safe. How many of these servers surveyed were admined with something like cpanel?
While of course moving Linux into the server environment is very important, Linux is becoming a good desktop system also. Clustering and such are nice, but there are some other things that need attention.
One thing Linux really needs to have to become a mass successful desktop system (besides improved X server) is *easier* hardware support. In windows you plug it in, you're good to go a lot of the time. This has gotten a lot better in Linux, but it still has a ways to go imo.
with the recent failures of some other popular space project (=O), i hope this succeeds.
from what i read the shields are only on the front, seems unlikely to me that a renegade particle might not hit the side, but im not expert.
