Some Linux experts have questioned Linux as a report published by Linux as "the most defective" computing environment, published by the British Safety Manufacturer MI2G.
Mi2G said it analyzes 235,000 successful attacks on computer systems of "permanent online", in October 2004, running Linux, accounting for 65% of all recorded attacks. 25%, while successful attacks for OS X and BSDs only less than 5%.
Virus threats are ignored
However, it is pointed out that there is a problem with the analysis methods of this report. Pis said that they did not comply with the virus computing, although their own report also considered that the financial impact of the virus on the Windows system was also much greater than the Linux system.
Leon further explained his point of view. He said that the number of Windows systems that were broken by the automatic virus is far greater than the system of being hit. Linux is still safer, just because there is no virus that automatically attacks, their report has been mistaken. Pis said that since the virus did not point out the virus, this report caused hurt to everyone.
Pisi also pointed out that with the rise of Linux, there is no more and more of the negative reports and comments about this open source operating system. When it is successful, the more you are destroyed.
Successful price
Linux-based servers are mainly used to run enterprise websites, open source Apache Web Server software has more than 64%. Although it is also possible to run on other operating systems, its best partner is still Linux.
The report of Mi2G is the latest challenge to Linux that is still in the germination. A "Open Source Risk Management" report published in August this year pointed out that although there is no defendant to court, Linux may violate 283 software patents. Since the SCO Group sued IBM in March 2003, patent issues have caused serious concerns from Linux users.
Microsoft has also refuted every major advantage of Linux through "Get the FACTS" marketing activities, and its chief executive official Steve Ballmer has recently published a customer's open letter to attack Linux.
Suspicious conclusion?
Enderle Group's Chief Analyst Roble. Edja also found a lot of questions in the report of MI2G. He believes that there is a method in the previous research, and they are always trying to make a sensation effect, not revealing the truth.
When asked this research, Edja said that BSD and Apple are the least common general system, so they have a small hacker attack target, who will try to attack What is your own purpose?
He also said that BSD is mainly used in many computer sector experts, so it is always deployed in a safe way. He said that the conclusions are very simple, and many systems that have not been used by users who do not have a deep computer knowledge will be worse. These conclusions from MI2G are only based on the platform itself, because it does not take into account the skills and use of the popularity.
