So, how many people really think Debian is more secure than Fedora now, eh? ;-)

(for the humour impaired - that was a joke)

Okay, perhaps I'll look like I'm humor impaired, but I'll bite.

I'm reminded of the saying that "Our true intentions often come out in jest." It's nice to see you claim it's a joke, but I don't see how it could be taken as anything other than a slight to Debian. Fedora happens to be my distribution of choice, but I don't see the need to jump on the weaknesses or failings of others. And I'm not at all convinced that this couldn't happen to Fedora.

Personally, I think someone was out to make FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) look bad; they want to make it look insecure. This isn't just bad for Debian. This is bad for all of us.
