UK's security branch says Ubuntu most secure OS
No surprises here, that's for sure.
http://www.zdnet.com/uks-security-br...os-7000025312/Summary: CESG, the UK government's arm that assesses operating systems and software security, has published its findings for ‘End User Device’ operating systems. The most secure of the lot? Ubuntu 12.04.

Dark-Roasted but Half-Baked
Red Hat is headquartered in the US. Do you think a government agency in the UK is going to like that?

This universe is crazy. I'm going back to my own.

Quad Shot of Ubuntu
Well, I disagree that Ubuntu is the most secure. Though, I would say it certainly balances user friendliness and security very well.
KDE is the best
5 Cups of Ubuntu
Well, any Linux distro is more secure than OS X and Windows. And wouldn't Debian be up there since Ubuntu is based on it?

The article says "CESG looked at the security of the most popular end-user operating systems for desktops, smartphones, and tablets."
Maybe Red Hat doesn't fit in that group.
5 Cups of Ubuntu
The list of ones they looked as is given in the link. Android 4.2, Android 4.2 on Samsung devices; iOS 6, Blackberry 10.1, Google's Chrome OS 26, Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 7 and 8; Windows 8 RT, and Windows Phone 8. RHEL wasn't part of their survey, and neither was any other flavor of Linux.
Laptop Ubuntu 14.04; Desktop dual-boot Windows 8.1 and CentOS 6.5

OpenBSD?
Dipped in Ubuntu
They have other kind of problems. Something like paying for electricity!
