I just thought that this article was really cool because it's not "Linux propaganda" he just mentions that OpenSource is better than ClosedSource.

This is one of the reasons Open Source software is so much more secure than closed source software - there's no incentive for an Open Source software vendor to sue you because you did free work for them. Security information about Open Source software is freely distributed, and this helps educate the end users as to their actual risk. With closed source software, there's no way for a business or an end user to know how much risk they are at from any particular configuration, which makes it more expensive to run. Businesses like to be able to know how much risk they are at.

no one's answered this, and yeah. I thought I'd blitz a zero reply before it's too late.

I guess this could be considered as a bump as well. oh well.
