| Five Linux Security Myths You Can Live Without |
|---|
Before I wrote this article, I went to some Linux newsgroups to find out what typical concerns among security-conscious Linux users might be. I asked, simply, what they felt were the biggest myths surrounding Linux security.
Boy, did I get an earful! It was as if I had gored someone's pet ox.
When I asked about the most common misperceptions of Linux security, I wasn't implying that Linux is any worse, or any better, than other operating systems. There are few "religions," however, with followers as zealous as those of Linux. As with any religion, you can't make zealots question the perfection of their belief systems.
