Linux Distributions Respond to Forrester 262
dave writes "GNU/Linux vendors Debian, Mandrake, Red Hat, and SUSE have joined together to give a common statement about the Forrester report entitled "Is Linux more Secure than Windows?". Despite the report's claim to incorporate a qualitative assessment of vendor reactions to serious vulnerabilities, it treats all vulnerabilities are equal, regardless of their risk to users. As a result, the conclusions drawn by Forrester have extremely limited real-world value for customers assessing the practical issue of how quickly serious vulnerabilities get fixed."

Damn. Got another attachment-- "your_paper.sh". The "sh" must stand for "super-helpful." Cool.
Let's see if I can read it. Do I want to view it, or save it? Uhm... view it.
Gibberish. Starts with "#!/bin/bash". Should have known. Damn.
Let me save it. Then I can double-click it in my file manager.
Damn it! Same gibberish. Time to pull out the big guns, "Fucking Up Your Linux System For Dummies." Good Damn It! I knew Linux was hard to use. I'm going back to MS-Windows, where everything is point-and-click.
