It also really makes you wonder about those
Red Hat custom kernels. I reckon I'll stick
with Debian.
I suppose you could make an argument, though,
that Debian sort of cheats. These stats
are no doubt from debian stable. But, what
percentage of debian users are actually
running stable, I wonder?
Well, my point is, that to actually do an apples-to-apples
comparison, you'd have to determine how many of
the Linux vulnerabilities were in things like
licq or ircd.
It is different. Microsoft already had an OS monopoly
before it started giving away IE. That's why they
were found to have abused their monopoly. Had they
just been one of some reasonable number of competitive
OS vendors, it would have been legal to give away
IE.
Hey, don't blame me; I didn't write the anti-trust
laws.
I saw Charlie Ergen on "Charlie Chat" talk about
that DishPlayer fiasco. He said something like "well,
I don't want to disparage anyone, but Microsoft
failed to deliver stable software for this product.
So, we decided to start from scratch and write it ourselves."
2. User joe buy his PC at the mall (best buy, fry's, etc) - they don't hand him Linux preinstalled - they give him Windows XP home edition + tons of useless stuff that he never uses.
Ahem. My mom bought a PC at Fry's in Phoenix. It
came preloaded with "FastWindows" (a Taiwanese
Linux distribution).
I've been running 2.4 since.5 or so, mainly because
I wanted to use XFS on my machines (I use SGI's
CVS tree). Since then,
I've had it running on a few desktops and several
servers (one with LVM, too), and have had no
kernel problems besides one possible hiccup on a desktop machine.
Granted, the servers don't get pushed too hard, but
my desktop does.:-)
Any compilation problems I've had have always traced
back to PEBCAK.

Don't forget XEmacs. Yes! You even get graphics! And it works, sort of!
Tabbed browsing is planned for 3.1.
Hollings isn't up until 2004, though, and I imagine he'll retire then.
It is here.
There was another one where the guy actually says that he is a troll. Pretty funny.
And some are trollish.
Radio stations pay these royalties. However, radio stations do not pay these RIAA fees that they are trying to collect from webcasters.

That should be kept in mind when trying to draw conclusions from raw numbers of vulnerabilities.
Great...so there really is going to be a "RePet."
I just hope they don't also actually invent that creepy doll.
Apparently, "we" haven't, since most Slashdot readers are running Windows.
AFAIK, SGI is planning on doing exactly that on ia64-based Origins.
Yes, it has happened to me, and that is what made me finally switch to debian.
I'm failing to see the value-added synergistic paradigm.
Hey, don't blame me; I didn't write the anti-trust laws.
All of these cases are civil cases.

The Congo?
How about most of the U.S. (by area, not by "household")?
Ahem. My mom bought a PC at Fry's in Phoenix. It came preloaded with "FastWindows" (a Taiwanese Linux distribution).
Better not to move people at all if not necessary.
Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard. :-)
Huh?
I thought everyone running Linux had SMP machines by now. All of mine but one are. :-)
Granted, the servers don't get pushed too hard, but my desktop does. :-)

The prices aren't higher in Europe; the taxes are much, much higher. The base price of the fuel is roughly equivalent.
