: It shows how insecure Linux users are.

I'm afraid that it's not a matter of insecurity. I have no ego invested
in what OS I'm using. I think Unix sucks. Half of it was "designed" by
University students (who never know what they're doing) and the other
half is trying to fix up the problems with the first half.

However, as I need Unix, I'm simply keeping an eye open and checking
other options.
