again many folks forget that Red Hat is not Linux..only the linux kernel is linux..the rest are third party apps..so if you really want apples to apples..then take MS and their(ie is critical to the os and therefore part of the OS therefore making it native to the kernel) and the Linux kernel and check vunls..windows will be many orders of magnitude worse..apples to apples that is..:)

good lord... is this a joke? They compare windows 2003 server to redhat 6.0! Thats pretty damn close to apples and oranges. How about NT4.0 to RH6.... thats a more level playing field? Even 2k3 vs. RH9 would be a bit more on point. I fail to see how you can compare software that is 5 years old to something that was just released."there were 17 critical vulnerabilities. For Windows Server 2003, there were four. For Red Hat Linux 6, they were five to ten times higher."-KF _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
