Novell-SUSE Sponsors Openswan

Posted by timothy on from the they're-building-a-behemoth dept.

hsjones writes "Concerned about the demise of FreeS/WAN? Well, looks like Openswan is going to be a good, strong open source IPsec project going forward. Novell and SUSE have jumped in with Astaro to back the project and move it along. See the press release. The Openswan project is at http://www.openswan.org. SUSE Linux and Astaro Security Linux both use FreeS/WAN in their current releases. It will be very interesting to watch what they do now with Openswan!"

    Also, Microsoft adopted TCP/IP back in the 80s with OS/2 so I dunno if you know your history either.

    Awww, yer so cute when you have no clue what you're talking about. Microsoft? TCP/IP? OS/2? That's utterly adorable. Go do some research and once you realize how funny that is come back here and we'll have a good ol' laugh about it.

    OS/2... Snicker...
