Security Alert: They Should Have Used Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I've seen a collection of articles about
| computer security breaches originating from
| China and would like to give a report from
| the ITYS Foundation. ITYS, for the unaware,
| is "I Told You So." I've discussed the use
| of Linux on the desktop for years, touting
| its security, stability, thousands of free
| software applications and feature-rich
| interfaces. I'm constantly told that Linux
| on the desktop is dead. I've even said it
| myself after taking too many verbal lashings
| when touting Linux as a prospective desktop
| operating system. Novell and RedHat have
| both put the Linux Desktop out mind.
|
| [...]
|
| It's my sincere hope that companies will
| soon discover that their reluctance to
| embrace Linux on the desktop is foolish.
| It's also my hope that virus and malware
| writers will face the maximum penalties
| available for costing innocent people
| millions of dollars in lost time and data. I
| know how China will deal with them. Perhaps
| the rest of the world should take note.
| You'd think under penalty of death that
| these individuals and groups would find some
| way of using their programming skills for
| good.
