IMO, i think that some people take the linux security out of proportion.
some people think that linux is hack-proof, that you cant hack a linux
system even with out added security features (such as firewall and
antivirus).
No OS is hack-proof and will never be. There will always be holes in OSs. As
new features keep coming, people will be forgetting bugs on them. No human
is perfect. Specially programmers, who love CTRL+C and CTRL+V (or
shift+insert in some cases).
Those bugs are inevitable, and there will always be a smart hacker to find
them...
I know it's a nit-pick, but, cj and Allan - please don't use the word
"hack/hacker" when what you *actually* mean is "crack/cracker" . See for
example

Ubuntu is developed by hackers :)
