CanSecWest is an hacker contest held every year.  Hundreds of IT 
professionals and big technology companies (Apple, Microsoft, IBM, 
RedHat, etc. etc. etc.) attend the festivities as hackers use every 
method under the sun to hack into computers running many different 
operating systems and search for new ways to break in then they give 
advice on how to prevent these sorts of break ins when they occur.

After a long grueling battle which claim a MacBook Air and a Vista 
machine, the only machine that remained unharmed was the one running 
Ubuntu!  Now if that doesn't speak volumes of the OS's security I don't 
what will.
