FUD, you seriously speak of what you don't know. The OS is more secure out of the box than windows and linux! It requires patching like any OS, but it does not need to be singled out, if you are going to call out an OS, call em all out. SANS has gone downhill quick with the rest of the security industry.. and there is no such thing as *local* security anyways.. once someone has access to a box, it's over..
