Your thoughts? i mean is an O/S security based on the amount of patches that had to be released - is Linux no more a secure choice?
Personally to many ANY server O/S is secure - if the admin knows what they are doing.

In a recent online chat, he staunchly defended Microsoft's record on security, basing part of his argument on how [1]Windows Server 2003's 15 patches in the past year are far less than what [2]RedHat or [3]SuSE have had to endure." He also mentioned the [4]recent purchase of Sybari and their Antivirus product.
