[dba-Tech] Ubuntu Linux is the most secure OS

Hi Arthur:

I have a very mixed environment here. Linux and Windows of all kinds and types. 

I like all my environments but Ubuntu 13.10 definitely runs faster than anything else regardless of the equipment I am using. It would be fun to have two 64bit i7 computers, with 16GB of RAM and test Windows8.1 against Ubuntu 13.10, side by side. 

Ubuntu is not a particularly fast version of Linux, in comparison to bare-bones Debian, CrunchBang or Arch Linux but I would suspect it would smoke any Windows version.

To that end, do not hesitate to send along two 64bit i7 computers, with 16GB of RAM so I could test my assumption. ;-)

Jim,

I haven't attempted to test its security, but I sure like Ubuntu 13.10 a
lot. Very slick.

Arthur
