You typed "more" where I think you meant "less". Linux holes are far more useful to exploit than say, FreeBSD holes, simply because there's far more Linux out there. And I dare say, Linux is also a bit leakier, unless you're running the almost useless SELinux. See OpenBSD's completely sane claim of having had only two (three?) remote exploits in over a decade. The average time between remote exploits in Linux is measured in months. -- Randal L.
