In a step to help the Linux operating system gain popularity among 
government and corporate users, I.B.M. and SuSE Linux plan to announce 
today that they have security certification for Linux from the United 
States government, a first for the free system.

The government, under the direction of the Pentagon's defense 
information agency, has revamped its certification process in the last 
year to improve the security of computer systems as part of the effort 
to strengthen homeland security.

<BIG SMILE>

This is huge.

Tom
