1. Topic is HUMOR
2. If you were expecting a lot more from this, well... stupid you, again it's HUMOR
3. Rebuild kernels??? I guess time passes for everybody but you, I haven't rebuilt kernel for 2 years now, and I always patch it trough regular yum update (for your info, click the icon and enter root password is all that it takes to update your system)
4. Most people would rather use their computers??? But most people running windows have problems with worms, security holes etc. so they can't use their computer
6. Based on what you told us, conclusion follows: YOU'RE TOO SCARED OF THE FACT THAT THERE WOULD BE OS FOR WHICH YOU WOULDN'T BE AT THE STAGE AT WHICH YOU ARE AT WINDOWS. SO, LIKE ALL STUPIDS, BETTER BASHING THAN LEARNING
7. average Joe can easily do in Windows within minutes??? So average Joe Schmoe can uninstall IE??? that would be the only securing that Windows need. For your info it doesn't matter if you run as simple user, IE and some parts of Office still run with administrator privileges. Most of the Windows security is based on GUI not on underlaying layer. But if you don't code I can't blame you for not knowing that
8. All distros came more than enough secured out of the box for at least one year now.
9. It's cool to know Linux??? Then start learning, you've already told us that you don't know shit about linux.
p.s. MS Security patches??? Try once in a while securing 40 Windows machines as my job requires, patching them takes a lot more than patching 50 Linux machines. With linux machines it's a minute matter, download patches to a secure repository and update info, although it could be done automatically, I still preffer to check the patches before approving them. yum on local and remote machines takes updates automatically, at least in my set up. Since this secure storage is the only update storage I provide for machines I'm preety sure the updates won't be falsified
