Linux isn't a certified Unix system, and some say it definitely isn't Unix. The key question for a business is if a commercial Unix flavor is enough like Linux that you can make an easy transition from one to the other.br clear=both style=clear: both;/ br clear=both style=clear: both;/ a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedcontent.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:148a24824d98960221344e85986fbfad:wCjZ%2FIPLefFuUOfxmaOSKSex1b2%2FdS6EXv1oEE01T%2B%2Bs0M6P1JATkplcVvG7bHYZeVONBQPje3Ro'img border='0' title='Add to digg' alt='Add to digg' src='http://images.pheedo.com/images/mm/digg.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedcontent.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:8b78612100db4cb073f5f9d19a117920:79LHhzjmktz3YULKrBGK7NrxHlKsO5B3FR9jeR7ayEcXQtncSLerZvPBS4PAQFSw3rvDH24xc7z2'img border='0' title='Add to Reddit' alt='Add to Reddit' src='http://images.pheedo.com/images/mm/reddit.png'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedcontent.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:db82f184cffe02493246445ce7cdf7e4:DvFxOUqbbc2HdaamhDu13aVXgK6lBdYe0tTjzfgLM9rbGx60HAO8DvID6wR03eDcGvP70wbQA2WBqg%3D%3D'img border='0' title='Add to Slashdot' alt='Add to Slashdot' src='http://images.pheedo.com/images/mm/slashdot.png'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedcontent.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:c73d95d46c3fb4e228d3a4bd28d8f186:s73pie%2F0VQlxL0gijc9Zx8awhQQxvvkhvN3ROdoOgCIwl7emT5SMwh7psVX8Bs3i6vjg3BSyyMfw'img border='0' title='Email this Article' alt='Email this Article' src='http://images.pheedo.com/images/mm/emailthis.png'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedcontent.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:b25235f322edfca703e2dccdba2e2c48:7%2Fjxc%2FNLUwX0KVVazogwlEdxcFBgIHNzv%2Bn5%2FooldOYg9UOR9niRV%2BrfH%2BcBHOjlMJmL62u0H9b2AQ%3D%3D'img border='0' title='Add to StumbleUpon' alt='Add to StumbleUpon' src='http://images.pheedo.com/images/mm/stumbleit.gif'//a br clear=both style=clear: both;/ a href=http://ads.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=1img alt= style=border: 0; border=0 src=http://ads.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=1//a img alt= height=0 width=0 border=0 style=display:none src=http://segment-pixel.invitemedia.com/pixel?code=TechConspartnerID=167key=segment/img alt= height=0 width=0 border=0 style=display:none src=http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-8bUhLiluj0fAw.gif?labels=pub.29764.rss.TechCons.10481,cat.TechCons.rss/br clear=all/ img src=http://ads.pheedo.com/img.phdo?kw= align=absmiddle / a href='http://ads.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=64kw=Unix'Unix/a - a href='http://ads.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=64kw=Linux'Linux/a - a href='http://ads.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=64kw=Operating+system'Operating system/a - a href='http://ads.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=64kw=Business'Business/a - a href='http://ads.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=dc3d5740f498518aceea50a626976d6bp=64kw=Administration'Administration/a

The Register writes up a Russian security researcher who has uncovered a Linux webserver botnet that is coordinating with a more conventional home-based botnet of Windows machines to distribute malware. "Each of the infected machines examined so far is a dedicated or virtual dedicated server running a legitimate website, Denis Sinegubko, an independent researcher based in Magnitogorsk, Russia, told The Register. But in addition to running an Apache webserver to dish up benign content, they've also been hacked to run a second webserver known as nginx, which serves malware [on port 8080]. 'What we see here is a long awaited botnet of zombie web servers! A group of interconnected infected web servers with [a] common control center involved in malware distribution,' Sinegubko wrote. 'To make things more complex, this botnet of web servers is connected with the botnet of infected home computer(s).'"pa href="http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/09/12/1413246/First-Botnet-of-Linux-Web-Servers-Discovered?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/09/12/1413246"/a/ppa href="http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/09/12/1413246/First-Botnet-of-Linux-Web-Servers-Discovered?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Qp4W0XYRvFIMMzcUjUfWyoJvMhk/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Qp4W0XYRvFIMMzcUjUfWyoJvMhk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Qp4W0XYRvFIMMzcUjUfWyoJvMhk/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Qp4W0XYRvFIMMzcUjUfWyoJvMhk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/KvpetB3SR6U" height="1" width="1"/

Fjan11 writes "Over 150 man-years of work were added to the Open Source community today when Zarafa decided to put their successful Exchange server replacement under GPLv3. This is not just the typical mail-server-that-works-with-Outlook, it is the whole package including 100% MAPI, web access, tasks, iCal and Activesync. (The native syncing works great with my iPhone!)

nerdyH writes "An architect of the Moblin Project has announced that Moblin 2.0 for netbooks and nettops is the first Linux distribution to run the X server as the logged-in user, rather than SUID'd to root. The fix to this decades-old security liability comes thanks to 'NRX' (No-root X) technology reportedly developed by Intel, Red Hat, and others in the X community, and the Moblin-sponsored 'Secure X' project. Besides making Linux netbooks a lot more snoop-proof, it seems like this could lead to an X-hosting renaissance of sorts, since you wouldn't be risking the whole system just to open up a specific user's account to remote X servers."pa href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/07/09/2050226/Moblin-Will-Run-X-Server-As-Logged-In-User-Not-Root?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/07/09/2050226"/a/ppa href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/07/09/2050226/Moblin-Will-Run-X-Server-As-Logged-In-User-Not-Root?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/zupCW79CSmXXGWpiznyP1TrvEVM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/zupCW79CSmXXGWpiznyP1TrvEVM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/zupCW79CSmXXGWpiznyP1TrvEVM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/zupCW79CSmXXGWpiznyP1TrvEVM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/9hD8Zh8cQYs" height="1" width="1"/
