http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/business/2015/11/05/net-of-insecurity-the-kernel-of-the-argument/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/business/2015/11/05/net-of-... Article could have been good but is a bit too sensationalist, e.g. pointing out that Ashley Madison runs Linux only to admit that it had nothing to do with their security breach -- OK, so why did you mention it, then? (In truth, kernel security rarely matters for servers, because the application is usually the first line of defense. I say this as someone who runs one of the rare services where kernel security does matter, so yeah, I wish Linux did more hardening, but the article is misleading.)
