Don't get me wrong - I am not in the Windows is better than Linux camp, nor vice-versa.
My point is that all OS's have flaws, both minor and serious.
Already Linux is starting to see an increase in the number of viruses.
Even BSD-based OS's have their flaws and exploits. I remember one that related to a vulnerability with certain SSH installs, though I can't remember what the vulnerability was though.
When more and more crackers and hackers turn their attention to Linux then I think you will see an increase in the number of vulnerabilies / exploits.
Nobody can anticipate every interaction that code can have under every situation and this is why vulnerabilities such as the RPC one can exist in an OS for years before coming to light.
