I fail to see how this really makes a difference. There are guides that are longer for Linux. You have to secure against different things than you do in Windows, but to secure a Linux system still takes time, you just don't have viruses and spyware that are as much of a concern. The things you do have to protect against though are rootkits, people who think rm -rf / is funny, fork bombs, and a variety of other things that are different but just as much of an issue as the things that do make Windows less desirable from a security stand point. It still comes down to the user in a lot of cases.
