DOH! Truncated the 'l' off the end. 
The real url is
http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch16s01.html

Sorry 'bout that.

Again, this isn't really anything to do with security per se, more a broad 
appreciation for why open source and transparency is important.  I read 
more of it, and certainly it's propagandist and certainly it 
oversimplifies, but it does hit some *very* good points about software 
development in the real world and is well written.

And while we're on the subject, this month's Entrepreneur magazine has got 
a very nice article about why small businesses should look seriously at 
open source software.  Mandrake, Lindows and Win4Lin get mentioned 
specifically as well as some reassuring words about the maturity and 
stability of the OS movement!  Cheers!
