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

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."

    Further proof that we need an editor modding facility in SlashCode. Has anyone been collecting stats on who posts the most dupe stories? I'd love to see the statistics.

    Yeah, well keep in mind that Germany is about the size and economic equivalent of one US State. We are a serious juggernaut like you wouldn't believe. Iraq is freaking insane to be doing what they are. We could pulverize their entire country just by dropping scrapped cars from junkyards on them..

    Again with the fantasies, hey NFT? Well, if it helps bring a spark to your woefull existence, then why not, I suppose the idea of going out doors and making some real friends is a bit much for now, we don't want to be taking on to much too soon now. Perhaps you could try having practise conversations with your dollies for now, though you may find it to be a quite intellectually challanging at first.
