the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...: The way I see it, you have three options...: (1) You install GNU-Linux on your own machine, alongside of whatever other operating system you...
Or a zero day exploit. Still waiting for the patch (tomorrow).
Not the most recent example. How about those WMF icons? Redmond, a little less time on the X box, please. Wait, they know which side of the their bread gets the butter.
On Mon, 10 Apr 2006, in the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.misc, in article I think much more of it targets the person running the computer. Remember, the key...
I would agree that it is harder, and I have given up trying to memorize the registry. Fixing problems may be impossible though:
As the article says, maybe the gov' needs a few more "trained monkeys" who at least know how to reset a workstation to a known good state.
I was thinking about another contradiction in my post, even when I was writing it. Would I run Windows if everyone else ran GNU-Linux to avoid the monoculture. In other words, what happens when free software wins? I intentionally left myself an "out" by saying the admin could use a system with a proven security track record.
I just don't agree with you that the admin should be running the same OS just so he is familiar with it. I know how to setup Windows and how to fix simple things, but it rapidly becomes beyond any hope of repair. Have you ever setup supposedly identical systems only to have one system take much longer to boot than another? Have you ever tried uninstalling an application over and over, including smacking the registry, only to be rebuffed. It gets old fast. Watch for it to become even worse as every software vendor invokes a unique software activation mechanism, which will go right to the rootkit level very shortly. It's depressing to think about.
