Well, I'm totally new to Linux.. but I am getting into it at a relatively good rate.... So far it is functioning quite stable and secure.... I have to agree with Gore at this point.... Linux is a very nice and powerful OS...

But i still believe in one point... Which is a more likely to be a principle.... The user is the first factor in deciding how secure is the OS.....

Linux is by far more secure with Gore than with me.... lol.... Gore knows the A to Z about Linux... but I don't so it would be vulnerable if an ignorant guys uses it....

Nevertheless, the default OS settings of Linux is more security-oriented... Windows has made the OS easier to use at the expense of security dimensions....

Just my $0.02

Cheers...
