    Well, of course it didn't save them money or make them more efficient...they're using Microsoft junk, right? :-)

    Well, duh...anyone knows MS junk makes you inefficient, wastes time and costs money.

    They obviously didn't do their research...linux is the answer, not windose...:-)

  4. Re:Choose Windows? by Niet3sche · · Score: 1 · on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD
    Remember, MS has more than Windows in its arsenal. I hate the OS, and all my server-side / data-stores use EnGarde Secure Linux, from Guardian Digital (the CEO is a sharp guy who is - get this - an ENGINEER! Running a company in this day and age of accountants! It's great). Anyway - the ONLY thing that keeps one of my computers bound up to MS (well, two, actually) are their: * Office suite - Sorry, but OpenOffice still isn't [i]quite[/i] there; respectfully, I still think that MS has the edge there - though with Activation crap in Office 2003, I'll likely keep using Office 2k/XP and then make the next move to OpenOffice when they get a bit more interoperable (with regard to formats coming out the SAME on every machine ... a bit like the old TeX idea - write once, publish anywhere)... * Adobe PageMaker - In my university, we're editing the AOM (Academy of Management) journal for a 3-year stretch, and I'm the go-to guy for layout, etc. I work with the actual editor and he made the call to go with PM ... it wasn't my call, but he said that the layout folks use PM so we could get it to press faster. PM isn't, say, as robust as Quark (from what I hear) ... but hey, it's reasonably good at what it does. And (from what I know) there is no *nix port available.

    So, for me, it's NOT about the OS at all - it's about the ancilaries, the applications and packages that can run on WinTel boxes and not *nix. And, don't get me wrong, I *HATE* the fact that I'm being held back by these 2 packages ... but we have to realize that it's not technological prowess that's keeping MS afloat - it's solid market share. Incidentally, I happen to badly want to run OSX ... but seeing as how it's a $3500 operating system, for all practical purposes, it's out of my league right now. :(

    BTW: I'm a *nix freak but I don't believe in converting the heathens FOR WHOM THEIR OS DOES EVERYTHING THEY WANT/NEED/REQUIRE. It is, to me, about freedom of choice. And when you hold a gun to someone's head, it doesn't matter if the logo on it is a goofy 4-paned fluttering window or a cute penguin ... or a cute devil - the result is the same. I understand that I'm going to get MegaFlamed for this, but it is what I believe: I love my *nix boxes, and they sure do have their place with my important data stores and web/db/ftp access ... and I run them headless for the most part - but they're not for everyone.

    But I still hope to hell that a ton of MS users jump ship looking for a more secure operating system - or at least one made by a company that takes security seriously.

  5. EnGarde Linux by moonboy · · Score: 4, Informative · on Would You Use SELinux?

    Check out EnGarde Linux.

    Also, LinuxSecurity.com is a very helpful and informative site.

  7. Debian-based? by leandrod · · Score: 2 · on Battle of the Secure Distros

    It’s just me or other people also noted EnGarde’s installer looks just like the Debian one? Would it be Debian-based?

    I haven’t seen them at Debian’s derived distributions list, so maybe I’m mistaken.
