“You know the type. The technical reporter that tries
to do something on GNU/Linux, cannot figure it out and thus states
to the planet the equivalent of Chicken Little saying, “The sky is
falling!”, regarding GNU/Linux. We see them over and over coming
back to the same point, “Until GNU/Linux solves [insert the
technical reporter’s failure to do something here], it won’t be
ready for prime time.” What a crock of compost.“….I have come to appreciate and accept this. After all, it is
highly unlikely that a zero day exploit would be found that could
crack my Mandriva system from a user-space application, like we see
happen so often on Microsoft systems. The default security in a
GNU/Linux system makes creating a zero day exploit that can “pwn” a
GNU/Linux desktop system slightly less difficult than a single
person being the first to find the next Mersenne Prime[1][2] with
pencil, paper and an abacus.”
