Linux is said to be more secure because of the user permissions etc (like the CHMOD) and that's an ext3 thing right? So if we based Linux on another file system it would be less secure?

No, that's not an ext3 thing. ext3 represents HOW the files are laid out on the hard-drive.

Linux is said to be more secure because there are thousands working on the project round the clock to make linux experience great. These programmers and developers work without rest to make open source a grand success.

What has the storage of files to do with security?
