hehe they are just teethless dogs...

bill was also trolling last week that he is gonna pay some hackers, to prove that linux is dangerous.... and few hours after another blast like seccurity holle in Win was announced  :rolleyes:


IBM started to fully cooperate with linux developers..


just look around, how many IIS is running today .. may be 1% ? :D


they are almost out of game, only IBM noted, wheres future


anyway SCO never proved anything of that.... and pice of code, whitch they made public, just to prove its same, was so bad, that it would not even compile nor work :D


anyway how is SCO doing ? Do they sales grow ?

Why pay anyone? There are security exploit alerts every week for linxus. Its not like its any more secure than the various Windows servers. Even so called 'hardened' versions of Linux for firewalls have plenty of issues.

Windows with a moron administrator = insecure
Linux with a moron administrator = insecure

moronic Windows admins > moronic Linux admins


The last paper from Garter about the SCO suit means translated from "corporatese":
"SCO are smoking crack, and will get pwned badly, don't pay a dime and not much attention, they stink, stay away from them".

LINUX may only have 1% of the server share, but 1% of that market equates to 100% of the HomePC share as far as value goes.  And, it has to potential to grow.  The server market has traditionally been slow on the uptake with new ideas.  Nobody wants to risk change.  But the more people show it to be successful, the more will give it a shot.

If you don't know where to find them you obviously don't know much about security.
