Just made the time to check out the site. Most of what I wanted to see
is there to see... I do find it interesting that they make a Linux
aggregate (I assume the sum of all Linux distro's). This counts many,
if not most, vulnerabilities twice. Also aggregating Win2000/NT may do
the same (although these are supposed to be different OS's).

The thing I find interesting is that RH is on par with Win* for
vulnerabilities so far this year. Are these numbers correct? Are we
counting apples and oranges, or is the RH count totaling all packages
while win* counting only the OS. I really am curious about this...
