Hi John,

RE: Windows viz *IX security. I bet if you let me install the *IX box,
its not going to be very secure, since I don't know anything about how
to secure it. Same would be true if you let some *IX mushroom install a
Windows box.

Its all about what you know -- I think its been established pretty
conclusively at this point that the level of security for either
platform is directly related to the awareness of the implementer.
