Security, on the other hand, is one of Linux's real strengths. Properly configured, a Linux server can be an excellent firewall without additional software, while the Microsoft Windows platform has been the target of repeated security threats and requires constant attention to patches and revision levels to remain secure. The Lotus Domino Server for Linux is a strong addition to this product line, and may represent an excellent platform for development of new applications and deployment in remote sites or where security is important-like outside the corporate firewall. The development differences are small enough that nearly any application development can be quickly deployed on other platforms with very few changes. Andrew Pollack is an independent consultant.
