Is it really hard to install a firewall, anti virus, update, and shut down services you don't need? And then not using IE? Maybe you'd like a demo? I'm willing to bet my friend's XP machine, running a Web server, could take anything you could throw at it.
Why should I have to ?
Because some people aren't wussy.
My suse installed SECURE out of the box.
No OS is secure out of the box. If it was updates wouldn't exist.
Anti virus?!! Surely you jest!
The first viruses were made for UNIX, don't use this as a reason for anything.
Firewall? Built in by Suse.
And XP doesn't have one? SUSEFirewall is of course the best I've ever used, but I like to argue, which is why I keep this going.
Does your "Friend" know you are throwing down the Gauntlet on the Internet? This is a very silly thing to do....
What the hell? I have no idea what you meant by this.
