> I do not know of any open source operating system certified...

Certification costs money which is most likely the real reason why open source OS's have not been "certified" as secure, not because they're intrinsically insecure. OpenBSD, for example, has a reputation for being secure.

FWIW none of the open source Unices have UNIX certification (http://www.opengroup.org/platform/unix_certification/) but that obviously is not preventing the spread of Linux into "enterprise" computing.
