It might help if you told us what "current understanding" is. I don't
so how you can say the Gnu/Linux system has poor security when you
have confused (a) software security with physical access and (b)
software security and security as a processs.

I suggest you go read the tonnes of material available on the
subject. If you really don't believe in free, please consider paying
some one for a consulting contract. I'm sure some of us would take you
up if the offer was good enough ;-)

You sound like a troll. It's obvious you have done no research at all,
and for all you complaining about "free" software, you don't want to
pay for any of this knowledge.

You might feel that I have not addressed any of your concerns
directly. Since you don't trust "free" software, I don't see why I
should give you this information for free either ;-) 

Cheers!
