How dare you imply that RedHat isn't completely perfect! I don't know what
you mean when you talk about this "Susie" girl though - everyone knows that
RedHat is the correct name for 'linux'. RedHat - being perfect - is the best
platform for security roles. Just think about it! Lots of developers, all
working at once - plenty of code review. New versions every second day -
always bringing you the latest bleeding edge security code. There's none of
this crazy "revision control" nonsense to stop people getting the hottest
toolz!
Plus, ipchains as standard! Why use one of these nasty so called "stateful"
packet filters when you could use a tried and tested static one?
