Well it had the word Gentoo in the title....I'm sorry! But let's not get into an OS war. That wouldn't be fun.

Well, Rogue, it looks as if your baby OS has a security error... :p

1. That's OpenSSL, not Gentoo
2. Gasp! Updating the software fixes it! :P

For good reason. Nobody will ever successfully convince another person to switch to a different OS, methinks. The person has to discover the wonderful magic of the other OS *cough*Linux*cough* for themselves.

It was nothing personal Zeratul. This is a multi-platform game and we can't have the usual platform wars going on. Besides, it is my experience that most of the tired old rhetoric that gets blown around about the different platforms is incorrect or exaggerated. It also depends on what you are using it for. A hammer makes a mess if you try to drive a screw with it, and it takes forever to drive a nail with a screwdriver.
