You are really afraid of Linux aren't you?


Maybe YOU are the one too stupid to set up an OS?

Actually you seem to be missing the point.

Yes an error was made, however, as the texts you quote state quite
clearly, what this really means is that someone "Might" be able to guess
at your encryption keys, not that they "Will" be able to.

If someone has claimed that Linux, or any other operating system, is
free from error and you believed them then I'm afraid you have missed
another point - which is that NOTHING is free from error.

In fact evolution depends on getting things wrong.

However for those of you who can only function in a point and click
environment Linux is becoming more and more suitable. It may lack some
of the polish that XP had achieved, but it costs nothing and works very
well for many things. At least it does not stop you from using your
computer when a Microsoft server crashes.

You may well be unable to see the reality, but MS is not without
competition, and that is just being realistic.

Microsoft has never been without competition.

That's just another false teaching of the Linux cult.
