@njguitarnewbjk They have similarities in terms of inherently better separation of privileges by virtue of being UNIX and Unix-like respectively. Linux has some further advantages if you use a mandatory access control system such as SE-Linux or AppArmour. A fully open-source system allows faster discovery and patching of security problems, and package management on Linux allows distributing those patches easily.

What's this shit?

If you wanna see real hackers at work and hacking into e-mail / myspace / facebook accounts,

I suggest you pay a visit to hackingservices (.) org

Tim Jordan is a genius. Then again, that's my name too so I am a little biased.

i put a virus on my teachers computer easy

[njguitarnewbjk]

ok. i agree with tim jordan that windows is easy to hack into. everyone uses it so yeah you can get viruses easier. But like even though Linux is better for protection, what about Macs? Aren't Macs just as good as Linux, if not better for protecting against viruses?
