OT: Nix less secure than Windows.

Linux just isn't hacked because Windows is a bigger target. If you hack linux, so what? Windows holds the market share.

If you hack *nix, you get crucial information on lots of huge corporate web sites. Nowhere near as many with Windows.

And yeah, the list does seem to include a lot of beta fixes and the same fix for the same problem in multiple distributions needlessly... Not that useful of a list for basing any claims, other than software is insecure.

And I'd like to know who Thermodyne is talking to that says Linux is secure because it is Linux. Any competent user of Linux is aware of vulnerabilities cropping up. Its insecurities are rarely as severe as Windows ones, but it of course it still has them...
