Ok, leading subject. You can decide for yourself. This article provides relatively more objective data to back up an opinion that I recently asserted here re: Microsoft requires more updating than does Linux to patch security problems. I read it to say, after a number of caveats, that Red Hat (representing Linux) releases fewer security updates and they do it more quickly than Microsoft. Sun releases only a few but very slowly. It also claims that Red Hat could probably release even faster... (or that ind. admins could seriously shorten the lag by rolling their own immediately when fixes become available). http://securityportal.com/direct.cgi?/cover/coverstory20000117.html -Alan --- Alan D.
