And here is where Linux and Free/OpenBSD outshines MS in the security department: If you can't seem to find a patch, you simply close the hole your own damned yourself - use the supplied source code to brew your own patch (any decent *ix admin should have at least some competency in C/C++ for hell's sake...)
Ease of patch installation in Red Hat is a pure strawman - if you can't handle typing "rpm -ivh patchname.rpm" at a prompt, then I pity your competence in any Linux server environment (mostly because apt-get is eternally easier and mroe powerful, and good ol' "patch" still works rather well.)
