I've endlessly heard the argument that if Linux were the standard OS, there would be just as many worms as there are for Windows.
I have no idea why anyone could believe that. When you install a Windows machine, you can pretty much guarantee that ports 135/139 will be running, there are numerous services listening (ex. LSASS.EXE), and on a wide scale, there are thousands of machines with those open.
But when you install a Linux/BSD system.. what ports are open? What services are running? Exactly. You don't know. There are soo many different variations durng install, and so many different versions and programs depending on the Distribution. You could not write a "Linux worm". All the worms in existance would target specific applications, such as Apache or WU-FTPD, not the operating system. Sure there could possibly be a kernel exploit, but there are so many different kernel versions.
You would not hear headlines such as "Windows virus takes down UK Coast Guard". At most, you would hear "Apache exploit takes down a UK Coast Guard server".
No, you dont understand. When the Windows 2000 source code leaked, SCO allegedly found thier IP in it, and the $86 million is SCO licencing fees. Get the facts straight;)

I agree, I really want it to work under Linux. ahref=http://www.bburr.com/rel=url2html-17729http: //www.bburr.com/> .: Adventures of a 20 year old Entrepreneur. :.
SCO Says: "Evidence does not exist!"

When I was 12, I got 20 different distros running on my PC (along with a few Windows versions). Now this gives me and others a goal to beat.
Mandrake is a good distro, but unfortunatly in its developmental process it was following the wake of Red Hat.
Who would want to play games all day? Thats just insane! ;)
Yes, this is nothing I would of expected from VMWare. Odd.. Oh well, thats what buisness is.. buying out other companies.
I have been running networks over wall power for years, and I have to say that it runs fine for me. My 2 cents..
