I've heard this on this list and other lists for going on 14 years now .. and Linux gets more and more and more popular. When are the script kiddies going to take advantage of the broken scripting engine in Linux?
Don't forget, it's not a worthwhile target. It's not the machines of Joe's
Pizza down the street that might be affected, only unimportant sites like

in need of my personal 15 minutes of fame, for sure I'd goe for Joe's Pizza,
not for one of those big players...
