Cumulus® Linux®, Bringing the Linux Revolution to Networking. Linaro: open source software for ARM SoCs. Fear not, Linux admins: There are TOOLS to help you. Security for a faster world Sysadmin blog Most Linux distributions have a significant focus on security. This does not mean they are necessarily ready for production out of the box. Tools like SELinux, excellent firewall options, and robust access controls can make Linux exceptionally secure.
Despite this, actually deploying a Linux system into production still requires that the systems administrator have some idea what they are doing. Let's use my favourite distribution, CentOS, as an example. SELinux serves as a layer of security beyond the traditional access controls built into the rest of the distribution. While an excellent default option, much of the advice a novice Linux administrator will encounter when trying to get something working involves simply disabling SELinux. Unfortunately, tools to easily and comprehensively lock down Apache are not part of the default CentOS distribution. CentOS ships with the firewall on by default, configured to allow only DNS and SSH through. Linux Standard Base (LSB) The Linux Standard Base was created to lower the overall costs of supporting the Linux platform.
By reducing the differences between individual Linux distributions, the LSB greatly reduces the costs involved with porting applications to different distributions, as well as lowers the cost and effort involved in after-market support of those applications.
