Windows Server 2003 has 79 vunerbilities on their site, while Gentoo has over 700!!!!

Windows 2003: "Currently, 8 out of 71 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database."

Gentoo: "Currently, 0 out of 746 Secunia advisories, is marked as "Unpatched" in the Secunia database."

Of course given the differences in the licensing and, more importantly, the packaging of Linux distributions versus how Microsoft does theirs its really hard to compare 'Linux' and Windows on a one for shot. but Ive seen both camps use secunia, cert and other such numbers in a way anyone even close to even tempered on the subject should abhor..

Clue phone: It's for you. You just don't seem to get it. You can't exploit my servers. I could set them up for you to attack, and I would defy you to use any of these unpatched "vulnerabilities" (sh-yahhh) to break in. Bottom line: You can't. It's a smoke screen. You're simply trying to deflect attention away from the 746 vulnerabilites found in Gentoo Linu -- and you're grasping at straws.
