From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Slightly harsh but that is the truth of it. Improving the walls and doors will help, but if the guard on the door can be convinced to admit an uninvited guest then the physical security will have much harder time protecting your data. The weakest part of any security system is the people.
Yep.
I was hoping not to sound too harsh, I'll have to work on that.
As long as it's factual harsh is even welcome.
Well, maybe not any, but most ;D
