OH REALLY... GET THE FACTS: http://www.ghs.com/news/20040503_retrofit.html
YOU NEED TO READ THIS ARTICLE AND OTHERs FOUND HERE. I HAVE A LITTLE SAMPLE FOR YOU TO READ THAT WILL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE. Where every you LIARS will hide, I will be there to provide the FACTS! Go read the article and try to explain yourself. I am personally challenging the entire LINUX world to challenge me on the FACTS!!!!

?There is a widespread misconception that open source software inherently provides better security than proprietary software. But, according to the U.S. Government?s database of computer security vulnerabilities maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), there have been more vulnerabilities of the highest severity in the Linux operating system than in Microsoft Windows in every one of the last ten years!

?Many people believe that the U.S. National Security Agency?s (NSA) Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is going to solve Linux?s security problems, but according to the frequently asked questions page on the NSA website, SELinux ?is very unlikely to meet any interesting definition of secure system.?"
