I agree. I could be wrong but why would his company want to put out a
product for Linux when there are plenty of free and open tools already out
there? After all, their goal is to sell you a very expensive security
solution. With Linux I don't really see that it is needed.
This has been my personal experience. My Linux and FreeBSD boxes are very
secure never had a single problem. The Win machines I'm amazed when they
don't get broken into. ;)
