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.

This is the best piece of legislative news I've seen in weeks. (Perhaps even months!)
I understand we're still a long way from it becoming the new "law of the land" - but it's a great start.
The "right of first sale" is being stomped on by companies like Microsoft, who insist on getting your eBay auctions banned if they so much as suspect you're trying to resell an unopened OEM edition of any of their products.
I fail to see how anyone can reasonably believe you've agreed to terms of a software license just because the still-unopened product is thrown in the box with a hardware purchase.
The lame argument that the "hardware and software are one product" doesn't hold water. If this were really true, the product would cease to function if the two parts were seperated. Obviously, this is untrue because Linux, or another alternate OS, can be installed on said systems, and they still function just fine.
