Standardizing on Security
Hal Flynn, 2004-01-14

The Linux standards group publishes 565 pages of data describing a standards-compliant Linux package. So why aren't any of them about security?

Fedora Core release 2 2004-01-16
Jared Robinson
Just thought I'd mention that Fedora Core release 2 is set to include SELinux, which was contributed by the NSA. It's good to see new technologies like this making it into a normal distribution.

I don't think LSB should rush to standardize on SELinux yet. We need to see if it works for Fedora. If it does, we can hope that it gets adopted more widely.
