Sound's like the FreeBSD vs Linux debate again. From what I heard, there
isn't. The newest teardrop attacks seem to be aimed directly and
Microsoft's OSs (specifically Wi9* and WinNT), largely because,
apparently, Microsoft did a really crappy job with their fix the first
time around.
The person that found the attack has specifically said that Linux is
immune to these attacks.
I read it at http://hardware.pairnet.com/. It's a list of html articles
about various happenings in the computer world, updated daily. I saw it
there last night.
