Hi Kuvvosh, I am sorry but I have to disagree with you on this point. In my years of experience with operating systems FreeBSD and Linux have been far more secure than MS Windows every time. Yes, Linux has been cracked before, but usually it falls under misconfigured security or down right poor password management. In Shane's case his server had a week password on the root acount, and that is how it was highjacked. Over the years I discovered something about your average computer user. Many do not change the default password they were given by their college or ISP, and the other half give their password something easy to guess like the name of their dog, their boy friend's first name, their favorite music artest, etc. For example, I was doing a simple security test on my in-laws computer. I knew they are the very religious types so on a whim I tried Jesus as the password first. Bingo I was in the computer with full admin rights on the first try. It sounds stupid, but this is exactly how easy some people make hacking and cracking.
