Red Hat Tuesday said it is offering a new training course, designed to improve the security skills of users.
The course, called RH423 Red Hat Enterprise Directory Services and Authentication, will cover directory services, authentication and security configuration for companies running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL 3), Red Hat said.
The first edition of Red Hat's other hat, Fedora Core 1, is now available, giving the world a chance to suck and see what you might term 'Red Hat Linux like it used to be.' Red Hat terminated the Red Hat Linux distribution earlier this week, directing businesses to the paid-for Enterprise packages and enthusiasts to Fedora - and this is therefore where it gets interesting.
L33tdawg: This is major bad news for everyone concerned but worry not -- there's always BSD :)
RedHat came out yesterday with a mail to the registered users of RHN (RedHat
Network) stating the following:
Thank you for being a Red Hat Network customer.
This e-mail provides you with important information about the upcoming
discontinuation of Red Hat Linux, and resources to assist you with your
migration to another Red Hat solution.
To be honest, I don't like books that try to cover all about one complex system such as a new version of Red Hat, although I must admit I did enjoy this book. The beauty behind this book is that the authors have put many small, but valuable tips on configuring services or utilities. In the beginning there was nothing, and all was empty and raw. And then came the era of the machines, consumer society and commercial Operating Systems. Then only a decade before the 21th century, the end of the Pisces era and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius came Linux.
Open-source software provider Red Hat Inc. is the latest vendor to embrace the concept of providing layered add-on services above the operating system that it can potentially charge customers more for.
There are many books dedicated to Linux system administration. The one I'm taking a look at today is written specifically for Red Hat Linux although much of the material can be applied to other Linux distributions. Instead of using chapters, the authors divided this book into modules, grouped into four major parts. At the end of every module you can use several check questions to test your knowledge of the material.
On Tuesday, Red Hat Inc.'s chief executive harkened back to the old rabble-rousing populist days of Linux, delivering a wakeup call to developers at LinuxWorld here.
Michael Szulik, who had put his company's money where his mouth was Monday when Red Hat filed suit against The SCO Group, claimed that the industry has "devolved" since the onset of SCO's litigation and warned that developers must get involved in the fight as well as push the evolution of the Linux platform.
"This is not the open-source community I joined," Szulik said.
RED HAT has updated the kernel for its Workstation 2.1 and Server 2.1 versions for Intel's Itanium after receiving notice of a "moderately critical" security flaw.
The flaw could cause a malicious remote user to interfere with computers running the operating systems.
According to Secunia.com, the updated package is available from the Red Hat Network, which you can find here.
That page says that the updated kernel fixes several security problems for the IA-64 (Itanium) architecture.
Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 beta, codenamed "Severn", was released today. Read more for a quick commentary and six screenshots of the release.
Want a quick guide to installing and securing Red Hat Linux? This article details the steps required to install Red Hat Linux 8.0 on a production server. It covers the procedures necessary to get the operating system from the setup CDs to your system's hard disk (along with the configuration details to remove any unnecessary packages), shutting down any unnecessary system services, and applying any required system updates from Red Hat.
