Linux best at fighting off hackers
In 1999 a team of security professionals formed the Honeynet Project to analyse hacking activity on the web by setting up systems online, leaving them to be hacked and then studying how it was done.
Yesterday they released their latest report on Linux and the results make grim reading for Microsoft. While a Windows system can be taken over within minutes of going online, the average time for a Linux system was three months - yes months. When they tried the same thing three years ago the average time for Linux systems was 72 hours.
Microsoft is always bleating that its operating system is just as safe as Linux, but gets hacked more because it's so popular. While there's a kernel of truth to this, there can be no arguing about the numbers: Linux is less of a risk, simple as that.

Gee! Shucks! I would never have realised that. I find it amazing that people can doubt that Linux is safer when it is based upon Unix which has been around for many more years than Windows. The basis of Unix is around networking instead of the add-ons which contribute to Windows networking & the programs that interact with the operating system using its own anomalies to assist the coding design. It is inherently unsafe.
