#147068 - that's great, but ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
That's one of the things that makes open source more secure. Microsoft has had vulnerabilities that have gone unpatched for years. That doesn't happen with open source; patches are typically available within days, sometimes hours, of discovery of a vulnerability.

... how much does it help getting a patch after you have been hit?

PS does "discovery of a vulnerability" not disprove your statement about Linux being secure?
