Good point, but...
"'Based on Linux' is nearly meaningless when the rest of the OS isn't designed with privacy and security in mind."
Very true, but in some respect Linux advocates bear responsibility because they have been vehemently insisting for years that JUST because someone uses 'Linux' they are utterly immune to viruses, etc. An OS is only *one* part of the security equation., but many (not all) Linux fans treat it as if it were the ONLY part.
(BTW - like the Kosh avatar)
