The four major Linux distributors have dismissed claims by Forrester Research that Microsoft outperforms them on responding to and fixing security flaws. In its report, Is Linux More Secure than Windows?, the analyst firm looked at how Microsoft, Debian, MandrakeSoft, Red Hat and SuSE Linux responded to reports of security flaws during a 12-month period. . . .

Szulik of Red Hat says the growth in Linux is a testament to its security: "It was the inferiority of (Windows) technology that created the need for open source and Linux. If the technology was as secure as the competitor made it out to be, why is Linux the fastest growing operating system in history?" . . .

Introduction to Enterprise Linux

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The concept of an enterprise linux offering is that you have a fairly long time between releases (12-24 months) and a product that remains supported for an even longer period of time than the release cycle. This allows for stable server deployments with guaranteed bug fixes and security updates for an extend period of time (up to 5 years). Before the enterprise offerings, when the security updates stopped for a product, it was time to upgrade ... and that could be as frequently as every 12 months. Now that same business can expect bug fixes and updates for 5 years, meaning now normal application upgrades can drive the process, and not the need to upgrade your operating system. . . .

Linux vendors Debian, Mandrake, Red Hat, and SuSE have hit back at research which claims that Linux and Microsoft products are both secure. In a report released late last month entitled Is Linux more Secure than Windows?, analyst Forrester said: "Microsoft gets a bad rap for security, while many believe that Linux is relatively secure. . . .

Back to Linux Basics With Debian GNU/Linux

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Debian is a solid Linux distribution tended with much care and dedication by a global network of developers. Because of its relatively slow development cycle, it isn't the most cutting-edge in terms of the software available in the Linux world, but it is studiously maintained in terms of patches and security fixes. Consequently, Debian is a rock-solid and stable platform on which to run many infrastructure mainstays, such as DNS, file/print services, and Web servers. Its suitability for these purposes is limited only by the amount of in-house Unix/Linux expertise available in a given organization. . . .

Novell's bet that Linux will break Microsoft's global grip on network servers and computer desktops arguably is a gamble of make-or-break proportions.     But Montreal, Canada-based e-security company Gwava is backing the play, convinced Novell holds the ace in the hole. . . .

In the big bad world of worms and viruses, the virtually unbreakable Linux Operating System - which gained cult status because of its legendary core stability - is quickly donning the mandatory `Antivirus helmet' to become infallible. The alarming frequency of security attacks has prompted many Antivirus companies to dish out Linux specials, with MicroWorld and F-Secure recently joining the list. . . .

In essence, Trustix is issuing a new Enterprise version, which will contain memory-stack protection. The freely-available standard product will actually have support for memory-stack protection removed. . . .

Immunix stops selling secure Linux OS, concentrates on security appliances

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

According to Immunix COO Frank Rego, his company's decision to stop selling Immunix Linux wasn't a sudden shift but "more of a gradual change. We started in the appliance business with Trend Micro and Websense in the middle of last year." There was a layoff this week, but not a huge one. Rego says the company is now down to 20 employees from a high of about 25. He also says he hopes the company can start turning a profit by the end of 2004 -- but admits that he is an optimist. . . .

This is to announce the release of Trustix Secure Linux 2.1, nicknamed "Horizon". It is the second release in the Trustix 2 series.
