The "security" of Linux is illusory. Its only security advantage is that
it's
too small a target to merit attacks.


********.

The British government web site doesn't like Windows products for protecting
secrets when connected to the net, it does like Linux and Unix.

Unix variants can be 'locked down'. Windows can't because you can't look at
the source code.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
