Well, to be frank, Fred has some valid points.

* Linux is not very well designed from a security standpoint.  (As
  Fred points out, neither is NT.)

* A great many Linux "community members" tend to be juvenile idiots
  with a remarkable inability to express themselves coherently.

On the other side, he makes the mistake of assuming that the people
who post to Slashdot are the people who write Linux.  Slashdot is 98%
wannabee (possibly higher); while the real developers might read and
occasionally post to Slashdot, Slashdot posters are not representative 
of Linux developers.
