While it is an interesting article for the Torvalds quotes, the article headline itself do not really reflect his stance on security.<p>What he is putting forward is a variation of the old saying that a truly secure server is one unplugged from all connections, put in a safe, encased in concrete, and put at the deepest part of the ocean (potentially under 24&#x2F;7 heavily armed guard). Yep, its secure. but it is not a useful level of security.
