Retraction: Five *nix Myths Busted
,----[ Quote ]
| 2. *nix Systems are More Secure - I love the
| confident security of *nix systems. They are
| collectively the most secure systems on the
| planet. Unlike the MacOS and Windows, that
| leak like security sieves, *nix systems
| arrive out of the box in a secure mode. A
| default install of any *nix system stands as
| the very picture of a bullet-proof system.
| The only reason why any *nix system ever gets
| hacked is because their system administrators
| are stupid. They're the kind of people who
| login as root (See #5 above). When you need a
| system with 100% sterling security, choose
| *nix, you won't be sorry.

| 2. Innovation is killed in free software.
| The common perception is that if everyone can
| copy ideas, innovation will be stifled. In fact,
| freedom is often the key to innovative and
| successful software.
|
| * Anyone is allowed and encouraged to work
| upon it;
| * Many people are willing to participate;
| * There is no need to re-invent everything,
| ideas can be improved upon directly.
|
|
| Non-proprietary software stands out in many
| areas: consider, to name just a few:
|
| * Applications: Firefox (web browser),
| Inkscape (vector drawing).
| * Complete systems: Apache (web server),
| OpenBSD (os), and of course, GNU/Linux.
| * Formats and protocols: HTML (web pages),
| BitTorrent (file sharing), ODF (office
| documents).
| * Server applications: Drupal (Content
| Management System), Wordpress (blog).
