Like the article said, the flaw is in the zlib compression library, not just with Linux. Programs that make use of this library are vulnerable. So basically every non MS OS is vulnerable, since most if not all of them in some way use it.

One flaw to how many vulnerabilites that have been exposed in Windows...

Too damn high to count

Posty, aka Linuxluvinwindowshatingbiosboy, take a chill & think about the difference. There are approximately 4hundredmilliongazziliontrillion MS users compatred to 16 linux users, who can actually make the sumbitch work. As 16 grows to 30, then 100, then 250, etc, it'll get attacked too. You just have to wait your turn

But I want my turn now.

Gimme a couple of months to get used to this thing & we'll see if we can turn that into 17..

Yeah, but how much times does it take to get used to Linux....I've tried if for 2 weeks, but I didn't really get used to it.
I also didn't see the benefits of Linux. I couldn't run 90 percent of the apps I needed, like AutoCAD, Maple (but that improved when Maple 6 arrived) and stuff like that.

And it crashed just as often as Win2k: not.

Yeah but it's cool being able to say you run a machine with Linux..

Even in a virtual machine.

Can RH7.2's installer be any easier?
