Uncle.
I really do think we're in violent agreement here. 'Nuff said.
many servers are unix based and get heavily attacked. Microsoft servers are
also heavily attacked. the majority of hacks each day are probably linux
and bsd machines. i am excluding desktops and workstations, of which 95%
are Windows.
even OpenBSD can get rooted. there has only been one remote root in 8 years
if you keep it patched and run --CURRENT. once you add more services, there
might be more vulnerabilities.
obviously there are some protections on unix (bsd, linux, Solaris, etc)
which make it harder to crack e.g. ProPolice, gr-security, PAX, W^X, chroot,
jails, UML.
