Red Hat to Release Enhanced-Security Linux

Klatoo55 writes "According to an article by Techweb, Red Hat will release Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, which includes support for Security-Enhanced Linux, in 2005. Red Hat has been running this system with a published IP address asking for hackers to try to break the security. The last version was defeated within 45 seconds, but this new version (apparently to be the policy for the next Fedora) has yet to be cracked."

  2. DOS is faster than Linux! (Sc.ore 5, Informative) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    After hearing how much the improvements in Linux performance was, I decided to do some benchmarks.

    Here are the Machines I used
    AMD Opeteron 3400+ with UltraSCSI320 Hard disks
    XServe G5
    386SX with MFM hard disks

    Copying a 17 Mebibyte file from one hard drive to another.
    SCO UnixWare : 7.3 Seconds
    Windows Longhorn Server beta : 7.5 Seconds.
    Windows Server 2003 : 9 Seconds
    Mac OS X Server 2004 : 9.5 Seconds
    Windows 2000 Server : 11 Seconds
    Linux 2.7 Server : 16 Seconds.
    Linux 2.6 Server : 18 Seconds
    MSDOS on a 386DX : 20 Seconds.
    Linux 2.4 Server : 30 Seconds
    Linux 2.2 Server : 48 Seconds
    Linux 2.0 Server : 75 Seconds.

    As you can See, Linux dosent come CLOSE to beating enterprise systems at high performance servers. EVEN Msdos from a 386SX smokes Linux!
    Don't mod me down unless you can justify these speeds. It is pretty obvious by now why SCO is suing Linux, because they are stealing their code to gain speed. And yes, DMA WAS ENABLED.

    Wow, if you listen to the Slashdot crowd, Linux 1.0 is nearly impenetrable, security-wise.

    Too bad they cant mod down that "45 second" article; Im sure they really would like to suppress it.
