Digital Edition Happy User

Sep 03, 2012  By gpiana

Hello.
I'm a LJ subscriber from a lot of years and I wasn't surprised by the migration to the Digital Edition. I know that a lot of people (as my colleagues) like the paper, but I'm used to read manuals in electronic format from more than 15 years and I don't try to expose the pros of the digital newspaper (first at all saving trees, for example, or the search of a particolar word).
It's just a different approach of reading.
Read a digital book is different than a "normal" newspaper.
For example,I use to read the index, to see if some articles are of my particular interest and then I read those directly. After that I start from beginning and go to the end (just because other articles may be useful but I have never follow that).
Anyway, the "problem" of the digital edition is not paper or not, is to change the mind also starting from the approach to read LJ, and this is what a lot of people refuse.
Anyway I'll be always happy when LJ arrives, in any kind of mailbox I will receive it.
Best Regards.

Linux as a whole is great

Linux as a whole is great, and the more people that realize it, the better. If you confuse people by putting them in over their heads at first, it'll just turn them off of linux as a whole (or possibly #!, assuming that since they didn't like it when they were new users, they'll never like it). Overall I see the review (and general approach to reviewing) as positive, just coming from a place of ignorance, which as the husband of a journalist is annoying. I'd say similar things to some youtube video reviewers who get quid in advance, boot the system in a virtual box, then look through the menus and tell you that they like openoffice, and are really pumped that the distro comes with gimp.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
