RE[4]: re:RE[6]: Security measures

Settle down, now. How about we compare kernel version 2.6.9 (Fedora Core 3 stock) to XP SP2 then? Two pages vs. two pages. That's still unacceptable.
Sure, you can pick the very latest kernel in the list, and say "See? No vulnerabilities", but hey ... in that case, compare it to a list of the vulnerabilities in a version of XP SP2 with all of the latest updates applied, which is *equivalent* to the latest kernel released. You'll get 0 vs. 0. That doesn't prove any points.
What it does prove is that there are more discovered vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel alone than there are in all of XP. Take it at face value, and don't cry, or else I'll have to call the Richard Stallman Whaaambulance for you.

Hey, he did not select a version for the Linux kernel. That is why it is showing all that pages. Cuz when you do that it selects the base version that must be pretty old.
Read my reply to his obvious troll.
