[NTLUG:Discuss] Would you pay $3,000.00 for Linux (HP thinks so)

[Dennis Myhand]

Actually, the NSA's SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) has been out for almost a
year, if not more.  I have it all downloaded, and I intend to set up an SEL box as
soon as I get around to getting a cd burned.  The whole download was around 50MB.
I don't know if there is a backdoor installed but I doubt it since NoSuchAgency
are the people who believe that anything can be hacked, and they are generally the
people to do it.  I have also downloaded all of their "Guides" for securing W2K
(aka El Infecion Muy Grande), and I plan to use them on customer's boven, since
anyone stupid enough to run that crap deserves to have the government reading
their files.  Peace, Love, Linux, Dennis in Victoria
