   You don't have to look so far.  RedHat released a bulletin for a =
remote attack and likely exploit today.  See =
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-051.html.  The previous remote =
vulnerability, not the previous vulnerbility, was just three weeks =
earlier (https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-032.html).  There are = 11
security vulnerabilities in redhat linux 9 so far this year and 81 = since
it was released just 10-1/2 months ago.  That is about 7-1/2 =
vulnerabilities per month.  It's not that linux is not full of problems, =
it's that virtually no one cares.

  There are some who would probably kill me for this.. but I'd really be
