New Site Provides Help with Security

By Timothy R. Butler | Posted at 11:26 AM
Many people look to operating systems such as Linux when they need reliable security. However, like any other system, there are many tools an administrator should have at his disposal to get optimal security in Linux. That's why MandrakeSecure makes so much sense. This newly announced part of the Mandrake Linux family of sites is meant to provide the security conscious sys-admin (that should be every administrator) with the tools they need to secure their systems. The site, as you would expect, focuses on Mandrake's Linux distribution, however it appears that users of other flavors of Linux would find it helpful too.

It should also be pointed out that while MandrakeSecure is a new site, that by no means should be construed as saying it lacks content. I was quite impressed with the large amount of links to security related documents, software tools, and websites they already have featured. The site also conveniently includes a discussion board, and links to the latest Mandrake-issued security advisories.
