A Continuing Look at Windows v. Linux Security

"You will never be 100% "secure" because the upper
limit is bound by human stupidity."

"Some Linux distributions have default configurations
with apps running and listening on open ports, so this
isn't just Microsoft. That is one of the reasons I
like Debian and Ubuntu. Ubuntu has nothing open and I
can build Debian servers from a minimal installation
without any additional services running."

I am not sure has this been posted before?

Regards,

Paul

The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
-Confucius
