if your linux internal firewall system and kernel are configured correctly I would say that it's the most secure piece of software built yet !

my internal firewall is placed to high security and thats it... :) and ya i was just thinking and ofcourse got advice from one and all...
LINUX IS THE MOST SECURE OS.... its nice here in this world ;)

Definitely!!!! With all due respect to you FluxGFX, I would far rather rely on the security of OpenBSD then Linux. However, OpenBSD has less of the bells and whistles then Linux, so for most people it is a less viable alternative as a desktop OS. Still, as a server or firewall it is very secure and stable.
