There is also a difference between obscurity of the "nobody will guess that Alt, Alt, Ctrl+R will give you admin access" type (with or without the added honeypot trap) (a type of "security" that is easy to circumvent, as long as the target is worth spending time attacking on) and "obscurity" as in "not popular and thus not a likely attack target". Are you running anti-virus software? No? Then you are also relying on this kind of "security by obscurity". GNU/Linux is simply not a worthwhile target for viruses.
