It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.
Re: Why is Microsoft Attacking the GPL?

As usual it's just another symptom of evolution in action... Only this time the dinosaurs are clever enough to be scared of the bright eyed mammals.
My favourite take on the whole thing is the Gandhi quote:
"First they ignored us, then they laughed at us, then they tried to fight us, then we won."
As a recent convert to Linux I must say that the whole idea of the GPL should be the absolute cornerstone of future computer development. Just imagine a whole planets worth of coders helping create the software of the future !
Maybe the internet is truly showing signs of becoming the equivalent of a "super human" (post human) planetary nervous system after all ?
"Love is the law, Love under will and do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". And if it's the true will of the programmers to co-operate to produce better software. Long may they live and prosper !
Death to the selfish and greedy ! Io Pan ! Io Pan !
