SUSE Linux Receives EAL3 Certification

Posted by timothy on Wednesday January 21, 2004 @12:59AM from the tougher-than-backwards-pig-latin dept.

prostoalex writes "Reporters from CNet News.com learned that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server received EAL3 certification, which allows it to compete with such certified operating systems as Windows (from Microsoft), Solaris (from Sun), HP-UX (from HP) and AIX (from IBM). Albeit all of the aforementioned OSs have EAL4 certification, Evaluation Assurance Level 3 allows SUSE Linux to be considered for a range of government and military tenders. Red Hat Linux is expected to receive EAL2 certification any time now."

For SCO, I mean, given that they claim to own or claim to already be receiving payments for all of the above!

I think it's the shiny outfits that do it for them.

I just got a similar reply to my +5 post which lists definitions directly from the government spec. (I litterally added nothing to my post other than text from the spec.) I would expect Anonymous Coward didn't write the government spec. There are probably more of these posts from the same person or script.

Mods...please mod this (my) post down...I just wanted to point out this "plagerism!" guy is not only doing this to Eric's post.

Move along...nothing more to see here. :-)

It's a person a script wouldn't have misread RayRNond as RayMond. Trolls trolling trolls and idiot moderators sucking up to an imposter, isn't Slashdot great.
