We like to talk about security...

We like to talk about our safety and security...
We like to talk about our right and responsibilities...
But why is it that we seem to polarize on a single issue?
We are either "anti gun", when that doesn't increase safety or security...
Or we are "pro gun", when that isn't the only protection we should offer ourselves.
Business Week reports that the US is Loosing the Cyber War.

Is your computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista?
If so, YOU could be part of the problem.
According to Secunia, Windows XP still has 13% of its defects UNPATCHED. This is even after Windows XP's debut in 2001. In other words, after 7 years and 3 major "updates" Windows XP still leaves you vulnerable.
Windows Vista isn't much better, with 12% of its flaws still unpatched after being released in 2007, almost 2 full years, and one major update.
Can we really afford to loose the cyber war?
I am putting out the call, "To Arms"...but not to go out and grab your gun, but I am asking you to grab your "cyber gun"...
It is our responsibility to defend against those that would enslave us.
Be it the Government, Enemy Combatants, Terrorists, or just the regular, old Bad Guy.
How can we do this? What is a "cyber gun" in this case? LINUX.
Switch to Linux. In most cases, the average user will not even notice.
Email, Web Browsing, Chats, Pictures, Printing...even word processing and more. All provided at no cost. The benefit? Linux is a secure system. Secunia reports that Ubuntu, out since 2004, is reporting 0% Unpached Vulnerabilities.

Get out from under the Corporate Giant, do your part to ensure we win the cyber war, secure your data and your computer, install Linux and become one of the Internet Patriots.
I recommend Ubuntu, DOWNLOAD HERE, but there are hundreds of flavors to choose from. And support is as open and free as the operating system.
