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.
I thought privacy was dead?!

so Scott "privacy's dead, get over it" McNealy is now working on a system that will protect privacy? ok, that's reassuring.
the bottom line here is that consumers will make the decisions themselves...oh wait, anti-trust laws don't allow for that. i guess the the only solution is to keep suing whatever company gains a dominant market share and spread the wealth around. now there's a good plan - that'll help the consumer.
if linux folks REALLY want to get involved with something worthwhile, i'd suggest keeping Linux itself from becoming illegal in the good ole US of A. the sad part is that most linux users are just regular individuals who like technology. they don't contribute billions to grease...i mean bribe...err i mean lobby to keep what they do legal. uncle mickey mouse does, though. wait and see what happens. who knows, maybe the FBI will be conducting linux raids in a few years...
