An interesting story, as told by a nonentity.



Now here is what appeared in the May issue of Linux Format, reputed to

have the largest circulation of any U.K. Linux magazine.



From an article entitled "Clam AV, Setting up antivirus"



Despite the myths Linux is far from immune to viruses. Exploits in

cross-platform technologies such as Java and Flash can apply to the

Linux environment just as much as they can to any other operating

system...



Before you write off all your previous opinions about the inerrant

security of the Linux environment lets consider some numbers.

Conservative estimates from various sources tend to place the number

of Windows exploits several thousand orders of magnitude higher then

everyone's favorite free operating system...



The reason that Windows has the most vulnerabilities however is mostly

down to the Microsoft market dominance...



In short, that author is saying that Linux is vulnerable to attack and

second that the reason there is so many attacks reported on Windows is

simply because the numbers of Windows computers is vastly greater then

Linux.



So there you have it. the words of a prominent Linux publication and

opposing it, the words of an unknown individual who hides behind a

ridiculous nickname in order to hide his identity.

Whoever wrote the article you didn't give a link to obviously knows

nothing about Linux architecture and neither do you. Regarding my nym, I

could change it to *anything* and you still wouldn't know if it's my

"real identity". For all we know, your "real identity" is Howdy Doody.

Don't encourage those cheapskate wankers. Ubuntu or a cunt or two put in a

big warning sign use at your own risk, we can't be held responsible or any

fuckups to your system.

You've never read your Windows EULA? ALL OSes say that because they

can't be responsible for the stupid things computer users do.

That's what the EULA says for just about every s/w title anyway.

defects. Our software is provided “as is," and you use the

software at your own risk.

So fucktard, whoever wrote the articles you posted obviously knows nothing

about Linux architecture and neither do you. You are passing along ILL

INFORMED OPINIONS about that SHITTY Ubuntu that the public rejects as

garbage. Get over it. Ubuntu has been free for years yet most reject it.

Oops.

If my computer BSOD, then I update drivers. That happens on Ubuntu also.

Take a look in the Ubuntu forums, if you need to know where they are, just

ask. Quite a few crashes with that INFERIOR OS you love so much.

And how would you know it's a driver at fault? Cross linked files in the

Goodness, but you do insist in displaying your ignorance, don't you? I

gave you the name of the publication, the date of the edition, and the

name of the article. What else do you need?



The point is that you do use a fake name (that is how the word is

spelled, by the way) because you apparently fear your audience, for

some reason. As we are left to imagine what that reason could be, is

it odd that we imagine that you do it simply because you know that

you are mouthing lies and are ashamed of it?
