PostHeaderIcon Successes and Failures

You may have noticed that it's been a while since I (or anyone else, *AHEM*) has posted anything here. While we've been busy, however, it hasn't been for lack of trying. The Destroyer, home of all the operating systems which get tested here, got an upgrade in the form of a Xeon CPU and faster RAM. The resident virtual machine managers, VirtualBox and VMware, have likewise been updated. Also, I'm fabricating a pedestal mount to hold my netbook in my truck because I'm too cheap to buy one, but that's a story for another day.

PostHeaderIcon Why is Linux more secure?

 

While chris_k discovers that 1st-year IT schooling isn't as easy as he thought, and mike_k is out wherever he is writing a script to automate half the Gulf Coast on a machine running only a Pentium Pro and 32MB of RAM, I figured I'd take the opportunity to address a basic concept that a number of us have taken for granted: Why is Linux synonymous with security?

PostHeaderIcon Linux Mint 8

I've been seeing a lot about this 3rd-generation Debian distro (meaning "Ubuntu respin") but I just couldn't bring myself to care much about it. After all, if Ubuntu's strongest suit is that everything "just works" and saves the shuddering masses from having to type anything more complicated than their own name, how can this be any better?
