Member says ZDNet 'Fails to Understand' Linux
MEMBER SAYS ZDNET 'FAILS TO UNDERSTAND' LINUX
In a blog entry titled, "Failing to understand how it works," APOTHEON
has taken on ZDNet's DANA BLANKENHORN who wrote, "I strongly believe
that Linux users badly need the kind of automated anti-viral patch
management service that Windows users now take for granted."

Apotheon begins his argument with, "Clearly, he hasn't been paying
attention. I'll break it down a bit for you." He goes on to explain that
Blankenhorn has failed to understand how Linux provides automated patch
management, and is less vulnerable to attack than Windows. He also said that he
suspects Blankenhorn is "using Windows more than Linux."
Who's right? Read Blankenhorn's entry, "Automating Linux security
should be a higher priority," and Apotheon's blog post. Then, post your
opinions about who's got it right in this discussion.
