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."

As a well-known expert in the field of cyber-security, I can tell you that certifications are very important.

If SUSE wants to be taken seriously, they need two things - they are going to need a C2 certification, and they need an audit of their source code by experts.

Just get 100 dirty gnu hippies in one place, give them access to an unlimited supply of Coke/Jolt and pizza and you'll have your code audited in no time

No, what you get then is a cum-stained carpet and a lawsuit for hosting homosexual orgies in a public building.

I'm not very impressed

If windows too can have this certification, it is clearly not very high standard. So, actually, this means *nothing*

Well, _all_ Mr Raymond's comments are here: http://slashdot.org/~Eric%20S%20Rayrnond

I don't see any plagiarism, particularly about desktop linux. He hasn't posted much, maybe because people seem to have an axe to grind, probably due to his libertarian beliefs.

If it's Microsoft the article is about, it's bad. No exceptions.

If it's about Linux, it's good. Also no exceptions.
