SUSE Linux Receives EAL3 Certification

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."

    GNAA Announces acquisition of SCO
    By Tim Copperfield
    New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.

    GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.

    "I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.

    "This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.

    macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"

    After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.

    If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.

    Regardless of what Mr. Bush had to say last night (State of the Union), the current job market is still all that bright for techies. I'd like to know, with the growing list of certs for linux which ones are worth it? Are the RH Certs worth it anymore/or maybe more now becase they dropped desktop solutions. Has anyone seen employers activley asking for these kinds of certs as many do with MCSEs, CCIEs, etc...?

    Am I corrent in assuming that this certificate has nothing to do with real security in a OS, but more to do with following some set guidlines created by some agency years ago about stuff like code review?

    I guess it's flattering to be greeted by your own words when you click on a story, but it doesn't change the fact that this person, quigonn, completely plagiarized what I wrote a few months back on another desktop Linux story. He did go through the effort of changing my "Windows NT 4" to his "Windows 2000", but I'm not sure why he bothered ...

    I wish I could prove this, but I can't list any comments beyond my last 24. Honestly, why would I accuse someone I don't know of plagiarism if it weren't true?

    Shame on you, Mr. quigonn ...

    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. :-)
