Itai, can't agree with you!
Do you know how many bugs and security leaks exist in all newest today's
systems? You will not beleive how many there are!!!
That doen't mean that you have to avoid using some UNIX flavor, WINZZ or
whatever, don't catch me on the word. The reason that you don't know how
to bring the system you so trust to the knees doesn't say you can't.
Beleive me you can with a little research you will find some hole! It was
'proven' that all MAN's creations are non bugfree!
And tell me how many people had heard of the bug you are telling us,
Ofcourse it's nice to know -- Thanks for alerting , but it's still not a
reason to drop one thing or another!!!
The other reason would be that probably the person will use that system at
home where he is the only demolition man! so why not to use
Pentium/Shmentium or whatever as long as it does the job for you...
