It would be interesting to know which OS the article claims to
be running on. According to http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7066 ,
the FAA started to use Linux to run ARTS, in spring 2003. I don't think
this would be susceptable to the common M$ Windows cracker.


Regardless of what OS they run, anything is hackable...save only for a
computer turned off AND unplugged.

Most people don't realize but the greatest threat to any computer's
security comes from within. And, this is where security is almost always
the most lax. Granted, Linux offers many advantages but being "hacker
proof" is not one of them.
