Hi All! I was sent a link to this article with the above title and I was curious what others that about it: http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/19996.html There is a lot of hand-waving, but it did say "16 out of the 29 advisories published (by CERT) during the first 10 months of 2002" were for "Linux Software". At first that is suprtising, even shocking, but my bet is that "Linux Software" actually means "open source", so it applies to more than just Linux (even Microsoft). It also said that "only seven security problems were documented in Microsoft products." However, if you look at the CERT site there are references to many Windows-only products which are obviously not included in the MS stats, but it seems that open-source is always included in the Linux stats. I would love to hear what others have to say about this whole article. Regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
