Why are they comparing to RH6 ??? ??? oh thats right cause they know RH9 is much much better ;D

[cloverm]

Not to mention the fact that a lot of Open Source bugs discovered come to surface as the result of code audits, not exploits as in the case of M$ software.

And OS bugs get fixed right away for free. M$ bugs takes years to fix (if ever) and then you have to buy the new version of the software.

i belive nt4 server vs linux 2.4.22 would be the best one to do...and then windows ME would be shattered within the first 10th of the comparison

Stock Win2K was released right around RH 6.2. So I have to say, between that and the plethora of RH 6.2 servers still out there (patched to hell and back), I cant disagree there. But with current Windows servers, they must then take it against say ... RHEL 3 to be entirely fair. And there is where they lose their asses off. They picked a fight that could more easily be distorted.

It's already shattered. I'm not sure M$ would even admit to producing that version anymore. Besides, support for it is going to drop in December.
