Windows 7, new laptop designs to converge | Nanotech – The Circuits Blog – CNET News.
This should be interesting. In October Windows 7 launches and many hardware vendors are looking to unveil new hardware.
Black Hat ® Technical Security Conference: USA 2009 // Archives.
This is a huge annual security conference by folks who know a ton more about security than i do..:)
DailyTech – Another Major Mac Computer Security Flaw Discovered.
And of course it’s another remote takeover vulnerability. I just posted about how Apple’s arrogance is biting them in the rear.

BSD IS more secure than windows by default but no operating system is immune to stupid implementation. Exposing root or writing applications to run as root but not tell the operator are examples of this stupidity. It’s one thing to design insecurity into your system..however it is the height of arrogance to take something that is secure by design and circumvent that. This circumvention is apparently what Apple has done…and now many apple users are going to pay the price. I think this is going to be the first of many Apple security alerts in the future.
It is going to be either Astaro or Untangle. Depending on what the clients needs are. Ipfire feels kludgey and ipcop isn’t really designed for modern hardware and is a bit too basic for my needs. Comixwall is a typical Debian distro..if you want to live in the cli go this route..:)
According to the Centos homepage:
The CentOS Development team had a routine meeting today with Lance Davis in attendance. During the meeting a majority of issues were resolved immediately and a working agreement was reached with deadlines for remaining unresolved issues. There should be no impact to any CentOS users going forward.
The CentOS project is now in control of the CentOS.org and CentOS.info domains and owns all trademarks, materials, and artwork in the CentOS distributions.
We look forward to working with Lance to quickly complete all the agreed upon issues.
More information will follow soon.

This is nice but it does not answer the questions they raised in public. This also does not tell me they are going to be more transparent which could lead to another similar issue in the future. Centos, What has actually been done to resolve these issues?
Right now I still cannot put my full trust in the long term stability or viability of this project.
