<snip> <indent> The author of the linked article kind of lost me at "as soon as a service is enabled or software from the ports tree is installed."
Well SHEEIIITTTTTTTT, who knew. I better run out right now and replace all my firewalls with iLinux. I had no idea that it was up to me to understand/mitigate the risks in using ports and services. How dare I not get my hand held. I don't see much different in this point then saying Windows is secure only until you plug in the ethernet cable. <spewhotchocolateonmonitor> </indent>
