Garbage in = Garbage out.

Any system is insecure unless properly maintained.

Subject: [TLUG]: Linux versus Windows viruses

Hi,

I'm pretty sure ssomeone recently posted a link to an article on Linux vs. 
Windows viruses and why Linux is more resistant to these viruses.  Here is an 
interesting rebuttal:

I do believe that Linux is more secure, I do believe that Linux is more 
securable but there are some valid points on both sides of the argument.
