  1. Re:Why? by Duke+of+URL · · Score: 2 · on Future JDK Ports For FreeBSD

    First of all the TrustedBSD project is not is own separate OS.
    From the TrustedBSD site:

    "TrustedBSD provides a set of trusted operating system extensions to the FreeBSD operating system, targeting the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC). This project is still under development, and much of the code is destined to make its way back into the base FreeBSD operating system.."

    Secondly, its not Linux emulation as it appears you think it is when you said:

    In this situation, you wouldn't want to be emulating another OS, you'd want to stay native. I have no idea if the linux emulation will take advantage of multiple processors, but if not, you could well be losing out

    Its not emulation like runnning VirtualPC's software that allows Macs to run Windows. It is Linux compatible.

    As see on FreeBSD site:http://www.freebsd.org/features.html

    "Compatibility modules enable programs for other operating systems to run on FreeBSD, including programs for Linux, SCO, NetBSD, and BSDI.

    Result: users will not have to recompile programs already compiled for one of the compatible OS's, and will have access to a greater selection of off-the-shelf software, like the Microsoft FrontPage Server extensions for BSDI or WordPerfect for SCO."

    See also the OpenBSD man page for Linux compatiblity to get more info on another BSD's linux compat.

  2. What about FreeBSD and TrustedBSD by Paul+Johnson · · Score: 3 · on SecurityFocus Responds To ESR Column On OSS Security
    The article does not mention FreeBSD or TrustedBSD. Both of these make a big thing of security, including reviews of software. TrustedBSD is even going for Orange Book B1 certification.

    Paul.

  3. FreeBSD to have similar plugins by griffjon · · Score: 4 · on UPDATED: SGI B1 Linux Patches

    TrustedBSD "provides a set of trusted operating system extensions to the FreeBSD operating system, targeting the Orange Book B1 evaluation criteria"

    And they also have a mondo-cool logo.

  4. A good security question? by slashdot-terminal · · Score: 3 · on UPDATED: SGI B1 Linux Patches

    I am interested in when for example the various distros will impliment this. I already have taken the first step. Namely not having an internet connection as most humans know it. So exactly what is out there. A while ago Trusted BSD came out. I would really like to get my machine to a B1 raiting so perhaps I can get bragging rights for something.

    Will this ever happen?
