And even so!
We get less hassles than windows...

They also inform that it's not a sure thing.
There are problems that probably won't appear there anyway.

How many of those 2000 vulnerabilities are in Sendmail? :)

You really should give the full story when you start blasting out like this. Besides the other threads about this supposed issue, if you look at the real story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20060109/bs_nf/40747), you will find that the "alarm" was based on comparing security issues in ONE OS ... MS Windows (XP, NT and 98 ) ... against ALL of the Linux and Unix based distros (including Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, the BSDs) without breaking it down to the individual versions and making THAT comparison. As usual with government "studies", there's much more to the story. So check it out ...

Oh, and I'm not blasting you ... I just think we need to get the entire story out before folks start jumping to the wrong conclusion ...
