http://secunia.com/product/2719/?task=advisories_2006 There are 31 security advisories against Linux 2.6 so far in 2006, some of which are rated as "moderately critical." I would say that a Linux 2.6 box with one year of up time is one with many exploitable, some even remote, vulnerabilities. While I am all in favor of trumpeting the stability of Linux, uptime should not be the primary measure of that. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
