Linux is much more secure than Windows (not as secure as OpenBSD).

I agree completely with this article.  Linux is inherently more secure
than Windows.  Being OpenSource *helps* with security.

To folks who argue that Windows just "seems" less secure, because there
are so many installs out there, I say look at Apache verses IIS.  Apache
is far more prevalent than IIS, but which sites are hacked the most, and
have the most damage done to them?  

(Answer: IIS - in case you were wondering :-)
