Message-ID: <20040228001715.GA3288@panzer.astrocreep.net> From: james at unixninja.us (James F. Wilkus) Subject: Re: Knocking Microsoft > and now they try to make it secure. UNIX was made to be secure, and > now they are adding colours. This is not true. UNIX was not made to be secure. Any UNIX security history book will tell you that. Just because you run UNIX does not make you immune to attacks. Linux, with it's world domination kick, is recruiting more and more windows admins to it's ranks. You think that these same windows, now linux, admins are going to do a better job at securing their systems? These same admins who can not apply patches before the next major worm strikes? apt-get update is easy, so is clicking on windows update... I think people are doing a disservice by claiming that linux is something it is not, or more accurately, generalizing all UNIX's to be secure. -- <t f l a t @ u n i x n i n j a . u s> OpenPGP FingerPrint: D8B6 9B06 ED84 18F0 F074 0C26 2F0B 3E39 070D 8F6D OpenPGP Key: 070D8F6D
