“Oh my God! There are security holes in Ubuntu 10.04!
The sky is falling! Bill Gates is the maker of the one true
operating system; forgive us Bill for we have worshiped at the feet
of false Penguin idols. Oh please, give me a break!

“Linux, like all other operating systems and software, has
security holes. Always has, always will. No one ever said Linux was
perfect. It’s not. It never will be.

“What makes Ubuntu and Linux better than most of their
competitors aren’t that they are flawless. It’s that when bugs are
found, they fixed as fast as possible and then the fixes are pushed
out to users immediately.”
