The author does have a point that the less well known an operating
system such as Solaris is, the less likely there is for they're to be a
virus or other maliciously coded plague to infect it. The writers of
these programs want to infect the most common operating systems
in use.
I like my old Red Hat 6.2 and Solaris 8 best and have never had a
problem and am reluctant to upgrade, because I think the less common operating systems will have less likely a chance of attack being unknown
to attackers.
Doesn't this line of reason make sense?
