And you really believe that Linux is perfect, has no down sides, has no issues?

One day, when I was preaching security, a customer told me "my boss doesn't care 
about security".  I doubt that is the same today.  Since then their WEENDOZE 
systems had a case of "ransomware" which cost them quite a bit.  The reality was 
that the VMS systems were not touched.  Not saying it cannot happen, but in that 
particular case, VMS WAS NOT TOUCHED!  I'm guessing the boss now is concerned 
with security.
