Security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
Whilst this may sound like a marketing blurb coming from Mark Cox, the Director of the Red Hat Security Response Team, but it sure would encourage you try it out yourself.

A default installation of Enterprise Linux 4 AS was vulnerable to only 3 critical security issues in the whole two years


This is definitely in direct disagreement with what Microsoft has been saying.

Two worms targeting linux systems were found during the two years, but both affected third party PHP applications not shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. In addition, an update to PHP released over three months before one of the worms was released protected systems that had installed the third party applications


Just like what other Microsoft Windows users are saying about non-Windows operating systems, more often than not, the vulnerabilities come from third-party products.

Anyway, read the article and find out more facts about how secure Linux is over the others.
