Hi,
The Standard does not specify anything specific to a product.But pl.
ensure that the controls that you have chosen can be implemented on the
Linux. Some controls
1.>Malicious code(Anti-Virus)
2.>Patch Management
3.>Access Control etc
So now it comes down to the controls you have chosen and how you have
them implemented.

Thanks and Regards
Karthik

Subject: Using Linux in BS7799

Hi All,

WE have decided to use Linux in our Environment. Please let me know
whether is it feasible to use Linux? Are there any limitations wrt
BS7799? I have heard some one saying that "if you use Linux that will be
an NC as you can't get any support on Linux". Please give me your
comments on the same.

Regards,
Dharmendra T.
