Smithys points on the debian servers being hacked:

Please note the debian social contract

http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html

point 3 says it all. Many many companies are hacked and don't reveal that this has happened, debian do. As an example the half life 2 source code is freely available on the net, produced by your beloved M$. The code red and slammer worms are undisputable evidence that windows is inherently insecure, XP is still being shipped without the patches for these worms, it is possible to have an infected XP box before registration has taken place!!??
