So it seems that Apple’s iOS isn’t the only operating system with security problems. I know that the GnuTLS bug has freaked a lot of people out, they just didn’t expect this kind of a thing to happen with Linux. But it did, and now we have to deal with it.

Let’s face it folks, there is no bullet-proof computer operating system out there. Linux has many strengths but it’s not perfect and it never will be. I think this is a situation where you have to take a lemon and make lemonade out of it, as much as is humanly possible.
