Well, BeOS is the same age as Linux but Linux was an implementation of older concepts (Unix) while BeOS was designed from scratch.

  That was 1991 Linux. Modern linux has moved much further than the original implementation, introducing all kinds of non-old-time-UNIX concepts (starting from Plan9 ones).

    It still needs to catch up with mainframes' security, though.

      In general I don't know enough to disagree, but keep in mind the context here is comparing to Haiku, which is not great at security, particularly of the multi-user sort to which you refer.
      • pjmlp 8y ago
        There is a Multics security research paper that describes out-of-bounds as practically non-existent thanks to PL/I features. According to the Linux Kernel Security Summit 2018, 68% of kernel exploits are caused by out-of-bounds errors. That is just one example, there is plenty of material available to anyone that wants to dive into the subject. So just because GNU/Linux faires better in security towards Haiku, doesn't mean there is nothing left to improve.
