he may have been trolling but he is not far wrong. linux users are no more security savy than windows users. 3 weeks ago I hacked several of my staff's linux systems to show them the dangers of not patches, I expected to be caught quickly as they are good sys admins and were just a little lax over the holiday season, I made no effort to cover my tracks but still they haven't realised they have been completely rooted. linux users don't check there patches or logs or system security anymore often than windows users do.
