Story: Linux servers 'attacked more often'

This is just the begining of the mess.

For years other operating systems have borne the brunt of millions of users immediately groping up to any new technology. the avregae linux-joe on the other hand had to be someone smart enough to set up his swap partition and figure how to create a new user aftre he figured how use deb packages. Other systems like windows on the other hand had everyone's mom and some people's pets using the OS, along with Turing award winners as well as Nobel laureates.

The scope of mess was much more.
Now that Linux has claimed its way to the marketplace and laughed at others, often attacking teh person instead of the reasoning, welcome. Lets see see what happens when the shit hits the fan.

The last we heard was the debain server breach due to kernel flaws and now stuff like this:

(Did I miss a lot in between ?)

You are yet to add you 200 cool new usability features and a usable clipboard and an inegrated scripting environment and a copmonent model in your OS. Lets see these things become pervasive standards in the OS instead of being locked to one small subset of applications and then lets see how you fare.

While you are here, welcome.
Dont run away, and you are welcome to attck me instead of the reasoning and you are welcome to pull out your obscure examples.
