我們似乎習慣了MS的宣傳，尤其是最近兩年的Get The Facts系列，認為Linux并非真的那么安全。TheRegister.com上面有一篇深度調查報告：（雖有些老，但仍然valid）
http://www.theregister.com/2004/10/22/linux_v_windows_security/看看我們經常聽到的說Linux并非那么安全的論據：
1- Windows only suffers so many attacks because there are more Windows installations than Linux, therefore Linux would be just as vulnerable if it had as many installations
2- Open source is inherently less secure because malicious hackers can find flaws more easily
3- There are more security alerts for Linux than for Windows, therefore Linux is less secure than Windows
4- There is a longer time between the discovery of a flaw and a patch for the flaw with Linux than with Windows
是怎么被一一擊破的。尤其是第一條。
