Security consideration, using a non-x86 server

[Eric Dunbar]

A neat security bonus if you're using a non-x86 systerm as your Linux
server (Sony is using a PowerPC-based server for one of their
web-exposed services)...

Worms/Attacks

The server can be accessed from the internet - so security was
important of course.  Linux is a safe operating system. Nevertheless
from time to time  a new security hole is found and needs to be
patched.  All automated attacks and worms are usually designed to
break into x86 systems.  Even if you patch your system always in time,
it gives you a much nicer  feeling to know that your system is kind of
immune by design.
