Security of Ubuntu linux
-
Hi, does ubuntu linux is the secure operating system for the end user and the server (in compare to the other operating system)? Thank in advance!!!
It's Linux so yes! Ubuntu is based of Debain GNU/Linux which is one of the most stable and secure Linux distro out there! Ubunutu is a little more cutting edge, there is excellent support for it on the Ubuntu forums. I have Kubuntu 64bit (Ubuntu + KDE desktop) running on my box at home and on my laptop.

Linux is a more secure operating system. 90 percent of all viruses are written for windows boxes. It might be possible to write a virus for linux, specifically ubuntu linux, but the big problem with this is that there are so many linux distros out there. Therefore, getting a virus that affects specifically ubuntu would be very hard to do.
