Linux/Unix just has to be more sercure then Windows..;) Also as for lame admins.. Yes there are some when it comes to unix/Linux.. However, when the base OS is more secure then Windows it's not as painful to the rest of us.. -Denis On Fri, 27 Feb 2004, James F. Wilkus wrote:
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.
