TU:

quote:  About security. Let's ask "Worshipper" who invented HTTP basic authentication, IMAP authentication, SNMP, telnet, POP3 and some other protocols relying on clear text. All that rudimentary protocols are still in use in production UNIX enviroments.

What authentication Win2000 comes right out of the box? Kerberos 5. How do you authenticate to read your email? Kerberos. How do you administer services? Terminal Services on top of RDP using 128-bit encryption.  
--- End quote ---

Uhh? Bullshit.  Linux invented kerberos 5 windows just fucked it up by changing the protocall.  HTTP first on *nix same with telnet.  BTW nowadays i can't think of 1 currently updated distro which comes with ssh. 1024 bits of encryption. What billy only uses 128bits? granted  it is a bitch to crak both but still. Linux is MORE secure out of the box than windows.

choasforages:
sorry to correct, but tu, you got it all wrong, UNIX nowadays, is a designe philosphy. and pa-risc is not the only arch procs that unix can use, what about sparcs, alpha, m68k, x86-64, ppc, mips, vax, sh-x, arm, Xscale and probaly others, almost any kind of processer can run some form of unix. and will im saying that, it been a while since windows supported the alpha. umm, linux supports more hardware then windows does,
