Launched a fortnight ago as a secure gateway for federal public servants
to electronically submit reports on government related e-security and
hacking incidents, the portal notably includes a direct link to a Linux
Kernal site under the heading of Downloads/Operating Systems.
Amusingly, the penguin flavoured OS also rates 9/10 DSD biohazard stars
for e-security under the site's user rating system [one user], and comes
with rave review from one DSD insider.
"Linux is a very advanced server operating system with exceptional
stability and security features. It is now even starting to penetrate the
desktop market with an excellent desktop environment (KDE) and a great
office suite (OpenOffice)," said the DSD user.
[i'm scratching my head, too...]
