U r supposed to be security focus Unix expert? And u claim what????!!!!!!! that modular kernels r bad for Linux's health? The feature that made Linux what it is today? The feature that makes Linux better than MS Win?(apart from the stability blah blah).
U dont seem much of an expert to me and to many others actually. Your arguments r really misconceived and your intentions questionable. Is it my idea or you r tryin to tell us that Linux is less secure than Windows? Or maybe this will be included in your next article? In short.. what u say is unfounded because I dont need to install any KLM's to re-enter a hacked linux box(since i got root) although it would be a lot nicer and convinient. But even if what u r sayin its sound, at least I wont get hacked by a 15 yr old kiddie but by a very skilled hacker. And thats not the case with windoze which 100 hacks p/day happen by 15yr olds. Linux is by far the most secure system and is gettin better every day. See the statistic results and researches. And dont talk to me about OpenBSD and the such... because a system that is not used, except maybe by a few(10? 20? 30? hahaha)it is ofcourse less likely to be hacked. The stories about trusted computin shove it .. u know where. So where exactly r your arguments that linux's design is wrong? Man i cant believe that people like u have the ability and position to affect many people's opionion. Go to school again and dont express so radical unfounded opinions unless u want to look like a donkey ... your dad seems to be wise man after all.
