As is killing an animal for meat murder, though you're probably ok with that, because animals don't have souls or some such puritanical BS... Get it off it dude, we have enough unwanted children already...
While RAV for Linux e-mail servers worked decently, the Windows Desktop version was less than acceptable... No centralized management, you had to be administrator to load updated virus definitions... a nightmare!
The latest released versions of RAV for Win32 before they pulled it did have some sort of functionality for distributing updates across a LAN, which I found worked quite satisfactorily in my setups (I provided technical support for RAV products in my region).
More importantly, the engine is very good and thats what MS wanted. In my tests commisioned by my employers I found it to be mostly a couple to many times faster than the other popular antivirus software of the time. It was also the antivirus product with the widest platform support for non-MS platforms, which made it extra funny that MS bought it.;)
Progeny's Componentized Linux will, eventually, allow you to pick-and-choose components from Debian & Fedora as you see fit, and install them with Anaconda.:)

releases partially restored 2004-04-05 12:58 I have begun the process of getting the C++ source code into CVS. The project should be operational again without the Server CustomAction binaries (those will come on tonight or later this week). Also, there is now a dependency on the MSI SDK (mergemod.dll). Documentation will be updated appropriately.
Doesn't a dependency on non-free s/w disqualify this project for hosting @ SF?
Call me a religious zealot but I think it's great for governments to encourage use & development of free software..;D And can you really blame them for it, when such a tiny percentage of their population can actualy afford to buy a commercial OS like Windows (most of them pirate it). And then those few Windoze boxen would naturally just be a thorn in everyone's side in terms of interoperability, etc.
Sources concerned said that as the three nations were heading for the same goal of promoting the cooperation on and development of open source software and pushing forward the campaign of opening source code in the northeast Asia, they agreed to exchange information on open source software, share research results, and make joint efforts on developing open source software of next generation based on the software with freely available source code represented by Linux. .. The three parties vowed to adhere to the principle of opening source code and make joint efforts to give contribution to the global open source software community.

Yes it does exist, and has existed for quite some time. Yes it is based on code from another popular distribution in the wild. I have it and have used the last 3 releases. Latest release is still in beta but they basically have taken the "unnamed distro" and layered on IBM software and customizations. Latest version is beautiful, and lightyears ahead of the last release that is about 1yr old by now. Customizations such as on first-time boot, it will detect your windows partitions, search out you Bookmarks, My Documents, and Lotus Notes ids and migrate them over to your linux install. very slick...new customized splash screens desktops, openoffice templates, etc. and yes i said Lotus Notes 6.5 running under linux with a customized version of wine. (based on opensource code from codeweavers i believe).. Just taking a sec to put rumours to rest, no screenshots, as its an internal product under development and we all tend to like to keep out little secrets to ourselves. Sorry. But yes Blue Linux is alive and well.

Slashdot Mirror
Was on digg.com *some time* ago too. ;)
digg.com is where it's at i'm afraid...
interested me neway... ;)
RTFA here.
Early this year, or last. It got some media attention on Slashdot or Technocrat?- But I've been unable to find it ... Anyone remember where this is? :)
My thoughts exactly...
It's pollution of our internet man....
RTFA. Interesting reading on what may hinder adoption of DomainKeys for some.
Reuters are reporting that MS have denied that they are outsourcing their development to Indian contractors. :)

:D Windows, fft!... ;o
Yay OSS!
The development will be done by the private sector, but will be funded and co-ordinated by representatives from the member states.
China's Red Flag and Japan's Miracle Linux have a joint project named 'Asianux' which is now in beta.
Short Answer : No
Not true.
