i agree with sparker.
try to learn what you're talking about before you utter warnings.
(not a knock to anyone in particular, just an observation).as far as transactions on the web go, more than half the internet is powered by apache servers anyway (mostly running on *nix servers). This is just going to go up because of apache's benefits over IIS.
Now, if you're talking transaction security from the "user" end (eg: browsers, email, etc...) then this theoretically should be more secure than closed source products any day. No one could get away with sticking a trojan into a major browser release without someone finding it within a day of its release. c'mon.
as far as desktop linux goes, if programs were ported to linux that are popular in the windows/mac world, many people would switch (i believe).
AND, i think that since OSX has programs being written for it by the major developers, Linux shouldn't be too far behind. It's not that much of stetch to port from OSX(BSD) to any form of linux. Hell, many large media production studios have moved or are considering linux as their solution. They get the major software companies to port and then you see little ones follow.Just my 2cents
