Dave, I have been wondering the same thing about Linux security. I have one Linux desktop, Linux laptop, Linux firewall and Linux server (EnGarde) and it seems I am patching at least one everyday. Is it because Linux has security problems, or are users and vendors finally taking security serious? Has Linux moved beyond the toy of its start, to a worthy OS and now we are seeing real security threat against Linux? I think the smugness of no Linux viruses is over. Time to expect and plan for the worst. Our OS of choice is maturing and gaining popularity, so we will become targets too. Just my 2 cents. -- Best Regards, Bruce Bruce E.
