Re: [orca-list] XP-Like Ubuntu security question

Dear,
It will always depend on The fact, if You will use Linux operating 
system in The server environment or if You only experimenting with it on 
YOurs personal computer.
Professional companyes, who own servers are using also commercial 
expensive software for Linux and also hardware firewalls.
It is true, that many updates are made to make Linux as secure as it 
could be.
The server administrators, who are working for big ISP companyes such as 
O2 or other could give You more detailed info, but they are very often 
not allowed to provide such information.
They are using terminals which are being connected to The servers.
May be, that some of ISP, Internet service providers are using 
commercial version of Rethad Linux, but it is only my speculation.
Try to imagine Linux distribution, which will contain latest security 
features, latest even very expensive software and YOu will remove all 
external commands executable from Basch shell.
If You would only have modules which Would allow You to switch between 
virtual consoles and see The Linux kernel messages.
Virus would not have so many chances to attack, because many binary 
modules executable from basch shell such as killall would be removed.
It is may be my nonsense but this system would be secure.
Only specified application would work with him, so no desktop 
environment, only application, which You would need for transferring 
data between clients of Yours ISP connections.
