Very valid point.  Linux is given credit for its better security, but if you
have a half brain dead admin,  they will screw up any system, NT or Linux.

The problem with NT is that there are way too many "paper" professionals
that really don't know what they are doing.

Honestly, would you feel safe in the security of your AS/400 if it was run
by someone that only had a one week crash course to pass a certification? Of
course not.
