Linux security strong as ever (ZDNet)
ZDNet is running an opinion piece by Con Zymaris on the security of Linux.
"The open source community has worked diligently to fight the good fight against security vulnerabilities. One of this community's basic security philosophies is, 'With enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.' This Linux axiom points to the fact that when a bug becomes an issue, many people have the source code, and it can be quickly resolved without the help of a vendor."
