Open source experts have hit back at a study published by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team that said more vulnerabilities were found in Linux/Unix than in Windows in 2005, labelling the report misleading and confusing. The report has attracted criticism from the open source community. Linux vendor Red Hat said the vulnerabilities had been miscategorised, and so could not be used to compare the relative security of Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.

" never got RHEL 4.2 crashed or infected, even when I expose it to the internet at DMZ (Demiliterized Zone) of my router. While Windows get paralyzed within 10 minutes under the same conditions. I even become unable to switch users. So, Yes CERT is another lie we used to from US goverment like IRAQ weapons of mass destruction."
This is about CERT's list and alleged inaccuracy...not your moonbat political views.....
As someone who has worked with CERT many times I can attest to their knowledge and skillset and most members of that team are much more knowledgeable than you will ever be...
