Linux users have been saying this for years, Linux is a much more secure operating system, well now they have something to back it up. A research done by the University of Stanford shows that on average linux 2.6 kernel (when released) had .017 bugs ber 1000 lines of code, totalling in 985 bugs in 5.7 million lines of code that make it up. Commercial software on average has about 20 to 30 (still per 1000 lines) which would be equivalent to 114,000 - 171,000 bugs in 5.7 million lines that make up linux, showing just how secure the OS is
. Most of the bugs documented have already been fixed by the the members of the open-source community.
