Read over this forum a bit and look at the knowledge level of the people asking for
help
Do you really think that most of them could handle Linux?
As for Linux security, You know the Maginot Line was considered to be very secure
And that army that manned it was regarded as one of the best in Europe
Then the Hitler decided to attack France and the rest is history
The moral of the story: any defense looks good as long as no one is shooting at it
Windows takes the brunt of virus attacks for the same reason IE takes the brunt of
spyware attacks
It has a large market share and hackers and hijackers are going to attack the biggest
target
Just wait until Linux gets a decent portion of the home PC market and then we'll
see just how secure it is
