The reference to Puppy Linux is a statement from ignorance.
All versions of Linux are inherently more secure than any version
of a MS version of windows.
One need merely glance at the tech journals every now and then
to recognize that.
If someone wants to make the claim that because Puppy runs from
root by default that is still not equivalent to the barn-door
vacuum of security in Win9x.
The fundamental structure of Linux is from the ground-up more
secure than the structure of MS versions of windows.
Plus, there are versions of Puppy available with user accounts
by default -- though such address local (desktop) multi-user
concerns for security, not Internet security.
On top of that every recent version of Puppy comes with the
option to install a firewall and other forms of security.
At the end of the day I am vastly safer with my Puppy Linux
installation than the most up-to-date MS version of windows.
IMHO, YMMV ...
