There are a couple of good ways to defeat this argument: 1. Point out that Apache has the majority of the web server market share while IIS has the majority of the exploits. 2. Point out the recent worm that went around attacking MySQL on Windows servers. If that's not a configuration with small marketshare I don't know what is. People DO go after minority operating systems, applications, and configurations. - -- Tracy R Reed http://[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCZ1ZU9PIYKZYVAq0RAqSfAKCa4UHrMaIQhjE1ycmmFPhZiFnxAwCeMrEH SMPt3U0M+Y7Y3tcaTdxLYbI= =fn7b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
