Answering the FUD: Security [Previous] [Next]

* "Linux is insecure"
- If security through obscurity worked, we wouldn't have Code Red, etc.
- The source is open to both good and bad people
- In closed source, you have many crackers per each engineer
- In Open Source, you have much more of an equilibrium
- Cracking is a "when", not an "if"; speed in correction is paramount
