Well Mr Screwloose,..........Please dont get me wrong .Ive been securing Windows platforms for the last seven years and Im not going to sit here and crack Microsoft,because thier software is good for what it is used for .What I believe the open source community has always tryed to convey to the masses is that Linux does have its place in the IT world just as our friends at microsoft have thiers.But ,when it does come to Security issuse for meduim to Large corp in my opion "yes",you must give a Tip of the Hat to the open source movement.Now I probabley know what you are saying,here we go again.But,in my opion,and just me ,I really dont like the fact that Linux is getting this publiciity,for the simple fact that the more people start hearing this the more questions and answers they will have .And here is where I make my point,the only reason that Linux does have an edge in the Security field right now is Because the average person does not have a great Deal of knowledge about the structure of the Linux O/S,unlike Microsoft which has 95% of the market today in the deask top market.Do I believe that Linux would have the same problems as microsoft if it were as popular,DAMB RIGHT ,it would .The point being Sir ,as long as you stand on top of the Hill shouting your Dominince the longer and harder poeple will Flouge you .Do I believe Linux belongs in Tanks and Airplanes "No",but I will say the folks over at the open Source Community make a Fine Damb Server In APache ,which ,if I might add ,still holds over 60% of the market .
