That is the point. If you do a carefull setup, install fixes, ... you
can make Linux as secure as any *BSD. One of the reasons why I prefere
to use a non-Linux OS on a non-PeeCee machine as firewall, is that the
script kiddys don't know how to hack, but only know how to use the
newest exploit... And of course there is a butload of other reasons to
use *BSD instead of Linux...
