Then I must work with a bunch of gods, who have been running a production government/e-commerce site here since 1997, that hasn't even come close to being cracked. You know how many machines we have public? About 15 or 16 with IIS, 4 with BSD/Linux. You know how many security scares we've had? Zero. Know how many hotfixes we've had to rush into production without weeks of testing? About 4 or 5. Not too bad, considering I could say about the same for Linux. Just do sane stuff like, oh, disable remote printer management support on production servers and you won't be fucked. I'm honestly sick of the dumb, rampant MS-bashing that goes on all the time, unchecked. Sure, I believe Linux is a better OS (just look at my sig, and the fact that I used to do packages for Debian), but that doesn't mean we should go around spurting bullshit about Microsoft. When they do it, it's called FUD. When we do it, people laugh, and put it in their signature. -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://raging.dropbear.id.au KDE Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.kde.org Kopete: Multi-protocol IM client http://www.kdedevelopers.net/kopete/
