The article,  "Linux security: The seven deadly sins",  is a good 
read, but nothing new and earth shattering for experienced sysadmins.

Except, under #4, it says: "Don't use PHP, even though it's convenient"

And that's ALL he says about PHP.  He doesn't elaborate why he thinks
PHP is insecure in general.  Sure, you can write insecure PHP scripts,
but are _all_ PHP scripts insecure as a whole?  Any speculation what he
might be thinking?
