Novell-SUSE Sponsors Openswan

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!"

    The Mark of The Beast.. will it require wireless technology everywhere for this to emerge? Chips in the body = cashless transactions. It's only a matter of time. Hell, there's news stories about people in a club somewhere waving their hands with microchips embedded in them to order drinks.

    That attempt at a comeback fails to negate the fact that it's true, which you would know if you weren't talking out of your ass. (Although, I agree that OS/2 is funny in a laugh-at-you-not-with-you kind of way.)

    So, Microsoft went with standards for their routable protocol, Novell didn't, and now lots of Linux boxes are running a "LanMan" clone. Snicker.
