Red Hat, Oracle to get Gov't Certification for Linux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the looks-good-to-us dept.

Mark writes "As this news.com article states, 'Red Hat and Oracle plan to announce on Thursday that the companies have teamed to get Linux evaluated under the Common Criteria, a certification that could open doors for the broader use of open-source software by government agencies.' It looks like this will be an important step in getting Linux to be more widely adopted in governments around the world."

    The NT crap comments arose because NT only got CC it's certification _without_ a network connection.

    And as for the other point, wouldn't level 2 be a step towards level 4? Ya gotta start somewhere, and level 2 opens a lot of doors.
