If you reverse that logic - those who see a hostile networking environment
as an ideal situation would find a success like linux a great achievement to 
crack. How ideal is Linux, that is the question - isn't?
I take your point that Linux was designed and continues to be crafted with 
security inherently at its core - but surely anyone with a strong enough will
could find exploits that haven't been thought of - so can't be designed for 
---- or does that show I'm a little naive and perhaps ill educated about 
Linux?
