Introduction to Enterprise Linux

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. . . .

Back to Linux Basics With Debian GNU/Linux

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. . . .

Sun’s McNealy: Java won’t be open source

This can be considered closure to an issue that could have affected the entire open-source community. The idea of making Java the basis of a secure, open-source development platform is simply not viable right now. . . .

Linux Gets Tighter Locks With New AV Solutions

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. . . .

Immunix stops selling secure Linux OS, concentrates on security appliances

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. . . .

Leaky Windows

Now some of Microsoft's closely guarded source code is floating freely on the Web, at least some of Windows made open-source, albeit illegally. Whatever Microsoft's investigation of the leak turns up, it's a sure bet that hackers, many of whom claim only to want to learn programming technology are already on the case. Should attacks flow from revelations in the leaked code, look for Microsoft to remind us that such risks were why it kept the source code secret in the first place. . . .

Red Hat releases 2.6 test version of Fedora

Red Hat Inc. announced Thursday the release of a test version of Fedora Core 2 that is based on the recently released 2.6 Linux kernel. Our readers are probably already aware that 2.6 integrates a whole lot more security into the kernel than was previously the case, including hooks for SELinux, IPSec, and ACLs. Fedora is a hobbyist version of Linux that is constantly being updated and likely does not offer the stability an enterprise would require for its mission-critical systems. This is the first of three phases of the Fedora Core 2 release schedule, which runs through April 19, said Brian M. Stevens, vice president of engineering. . . .

First Fallout from Code Leak Hits the Web

We have not covered much about the Microsoft source code leak that has been inundating the computer security news-sites recently, mostly because its not very relevant to open-source security. However, an exploit has been found due to the leak already. This brings up one of the major bonuses of open-source code: it does not at all depend on obscurity. Defense-by-obscurity leads to sloppy coding habits and opens the door to massive security vulnerabilities should the code be leaked, especially if its no longer supported, but still widely used, like Windows 9x. Bear in mind that, according to the Microsoft EULA, no one else is technically allowed to patch the code, and Microsoft likely won't. They might even claim that the ruling against them on the Java VM issue with Sun means that they cannot, since that was the reason given for dropping support for legacy products in the first place. . . .
