'Unbreakable Linux'
Zadig writes "It appears as if Dell, Oracle, and Red Hat CEOs have decided to make 'Unbreakable Linux'. Could a giant arise amidst today's insecure and constantly patched linux world that could hold the title of Unbreakable Linux? I doubt it, but it will be fun to try, what are your thoughts?" There's a similar article on CNet.
Is Sam Jackson forcing Bruce Willis onto the dev team?
I'd rather you do it wrong, than for me to have to do it at all.
I have always found Redhat unbearable, so how is this new? You guys made a typo, right?
they won't sell this to Norwegian museums!

Will it be called Titanux?
No intention to be troll...
Have I been wrong all this time?
A spokesman confirmed that 'Unbreakable Linux' machines will ship without any I/O devices and be encased in a 10 foot cube of concrete.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch.
and STOP shipping with WU-FTPD :-).
I think it means that IBM is going to have wake up and smite someone.
To celebrate the occasion of my 1000th post, I will post no more forever on Slashdot. Goodbye.
I was about ready to say that Slashdot doesn't like Oracle, but then I remembered that it's the first Wednesday of the month. Silly me!
First, they will rewrite the kernel and all the GNU utils in Java. The X Window system will be rewritten in java as well, and all instances of gcc from the system will be stripped. Bash and associated shells will be removed from the system, instead providing a SQL> prompt. Remember, ls ~ == SELECT * FROM ~.
The whole thing will be packaged with Oracle's Java-based installer. After 40 days and nights of installation time, the machine will run so slow that no one would even consider breaking into it.
In summary, the entire package is estimated to cost $55,000 USD.
Dude! You're getting a PENGUIN!
Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power multiplied.
no joke! I don't understand how larry can say the term without expecting an awkward silence from people who remember the last time he uttered "unbreakable"!
Nah - MSDOS 3.1 (and nothing else) running on a 486 is far more reliable and secure, but probably not as useful. If you did't bother to switch it on it would be even more reliable and secure, and not much less useful. ;-)

This week a new seagoing vessel was announced, which "Mother Nature herself could not sink", according to its creators.
Give me 16 "Unbreakable Linux" PowerEdges and some damned fat pipes and I can design you a cluster that a nuclear attack probably couldn't take out.
Cool. If you do consultancy then it may be a good time to start marketing your services in the Indian subcontinent.

So how about tamper evident, like food packaging?
You know, when you log in as root, you should hear the pop. If you don't, it means someone else has already r00t3d J00r 80X.
