> and now they try to make it secure. UNIX was made to be secure, and 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.
How many times must we rehash this? NO operating system in common use today is secure in and of itself--not *nix, not Microsoft, not Apple, not Novell, not IBM. Security is a function of diligent, intelligent administration by a clueful human being, not some life raft that inflates automatically when you install the OS. A competent, motivated admin can secure ANY operating system. A incompetent, lazy admin won't be able to guarantee decent security on even the most bulletproof install.
While(1) {
argue(Unix is {more,less} secure than {Windows,OS X,Linux});
return 1;
}is getting very, very tiresome.
