Excuse me, but I'm head os computer and information security at the 3rd largest cable company in the US and I can say that the Data Center version of W2K is a piece of shit. My Linux/SUN/BSD server outperform it by a long shot. And I could care less about any point and click GUI because they are not my desktop systems anyway. I don't use the TS services because the usernames and passwords in a mixed envirament (NT 4.0, UNIX, AS400s, Tandom mainframes, etc..) are going over the network in clear text and some half ass encryption protocol.
Talk what you know.
Any company's email system belongs to that company and therefore is the sole property of that company. The bottom line is that you never send or receive personal email on a company's time. That's not what they are paying you for. They pay you to do what's related to your job. I'm head of security for the company I work for and if I want to monitor an employee's email I can do so because everything inside the company is the property of that company and not the individual end user. We have sniffers placed throughout the network on every subnet that listens for certain data to come across. Our Exchange servers and Internet connected SMTP servers also monitors all email for content. We use Trend Micro's VirusWall with Email content management plug-ins for stopping spam and other email security violations.
We are located in the US and our legal staff have already confirmed that Companies can deploy content management and control over their email systems and can also read any email that passes through the company's network. Also we don't need employees wasting time doing personal things at work and we don't need them using up Company's resources since the resources are costing the Company money.
It was another company that hired a hacker to hack that site. It's called corporate espionage and it happends all the time. I myself have had offers from big time companies to do such dirty work.

Excuse me but I happen to work for a company that has one of the largest NT server farms in the US and our LAN guys are always having major problems with MS Exchange, WINS, and just TCP/IP problems in general. And IBM's SNA protocol on NT totally sucks. As far as Linux doing all that stuff you mentioned, well that is easy for Linux to do on a much smaller system. Run X/KDE, serve 500 client computers with sql server, SAMBA server for file sharing to those same 500 clients. And much more. I do it every day. The things you mentioned that your win* box can do is easy because they are not I/O intensive.
it does not matter because you still need to get those binaries in places that only root has access to. This would be the same as installing a new service under any OS. Plust the program must be SUID root. A normal IRC user on the system will not have access to SUID rooting a program.

Simple as that.
I can say that since I'm a MCSE (On W2K) , RHCE, CCIE, and CSE (Certfiied Security Expert) and that I work in one of the largest Data centers in the wourld, that when it comes to this Linux vs. MS W*, Linux beats it hands down.
Linux saved our company over 2 million US dollars and provided us with almost 1.25 times more the performance.
My Zircom PCMCIA cards work just fine. One of the cqards w2k does not support the built in modem but Linux works with it just fine. So what's your point?
This is because Linux is so fragmented ( all the diff dists ) that tech support people just can't keep up so HP and my company ( Compaq ) has a hard time supporting an OS that is so fragmented.
I have a hotmail account and I noticed a huge performance boost when they moved it over to IIS/w2k. It's now IIS 5.0 which is what comes with W2K as a free addon. MS got tired of that Apache server being compramised so they finally moved it over to W2K:)
Would everyone who feels that the MPAA is in the wrong go to www.eff.org and click the Support DvD legal fund link and at lest donate some money. Lets see who can donate the most:) I put in 50.00. If everyone does this then eff can hire more lawyers.
Some of you need to read the security books on w2k and understand that is support two types of authentication: Kerberos5 and NTLM. NTLM is what NT4.x is using now. Most roleouts of w2k will be mixed mode for backwards compatability reasons. We have over 10,000 Client 9x computers and so we can't just touch every desktop with 2000 just yet. It will take time and untill all desktops/member servewrs/domain controllers are w2k we will be using mixed mode authentication. I suspect we will always be running in mixed mode because I have a few samba servers running on the network.
I'm not surprised about this because compared to win9x/2k Linux is way to hard to setup. For example I have a GeForce2 GTS 64MB card and no matter what I do it just will not work under the RedHat 6.2 version that I have. Under win2k it just worked on it's owne without any human intervention. WHen Linux can do that then I'm sure game developers will develop more games and more people/gammers will use Linux as the game platform of choice.
I have had some experience with Linux Based dealers and I have had nothing but trouble with support. I now work for the 3rd largest Cable TV/Internet company in the world now and I have learned that going with NT and Compaq servers with RAID controllers setup with RAID0 is the best choice for any company looking for a good server. I don't know about Compaq's support for Linux but if it's as good as the NT support plan (platinum) then that is were I would get Linux servers.
Son, Let me tell you that I have Corel Photo Paint for Linux ( the alpha ) and it runs under Linux with Wine that comes with it and it runs very well. So Wine is doing fine. I run many apps with the same one I used to run Photo Paint with. Get a clue.
Why is it that Linux clustering technology sucks? Well for one, if I have a program that has a few MB of source code I would not want to have to make any changes to that code just to get it execute across multiple physical CPUs in a cluster configuration. With NT every program that runs on NT can be executed over multiple CPUS on different computers in a cluster without making any changes to the source code of those programs. Now when Linux can do that please drop me email. With the PVM cluster technology, you must rewrite your programs from the ground up and that is bullshit if you ask me. We use the Windows 2000 Data Center in a cluster configuration and no programs (including MS Office) have to be recoded. Why does Linux's software have to be recoded?
We would never use such a protocol in our company because we work with Law enforcement to bring hackers to justice so we need to be able to track our customers back to thier original IP address. If the FBI comes to us with a log file of a customer of our hacking into someone elses system then we need to be able to call up our DHCP server and find out exactly how had that IP at that time so we could turn over the info to the Feds. Plus it's the law.
The date printed at the top of the motion is July 26. Uhhh have I missed some time because I'm thinking it's only July the 3rd now. Maybe I slep to long.
Slashdot Mirror
It should be setup automatically during an install of the OS. So have any ideas about that?

I understand that this is true because W2K supports both MS-Kerb5 and NTLM. Is that why samba still works with w2k workstations?

Why does Linux only get an emulator? Why not a compiler that compiles AI 64 code.
NOT! They have over 500 billion $$$$ to fix whatever problems they need to fix. Did breking up AT&T stop thier monopoly ? NO.
