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.
Infighting

Given that we've been reading an article about software freedom on a Web site focused on an open source (indeed, Free Software) operating system, and given that some pretty alarming anti-competitive practices (by the big monopolist in the industry) have been brought to light, it's disappointing but very illustrative that all most contributors have to say is related to their own personal "cultural insecurity".
I can accept that the Balkan region has had more than its fair share of conflicts, but the Linux Journal Web site is surely not the place to demonstrate the mechanics behind them. Since even the Americans don't get upset about their alphabet and start claiming that the Romans were really Uncle Sam's finest and dearest citizens, it's possibly time to grow up and, amongst other things, concentrate on what you can do to stop Microsoft and various other corporate concerns from buying your respective governments outright.
