TOMOYO Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| "'TOMOYO Linux' is our work in the field of security enhanced Linux," Kentaro
| Takeda began, describing 15 patches posted to the Linux Kernel mailing list.
| He noted that in an earlier version of the patches posted just prior to the
| recent Kernel summit, TOMOYO Linux's Mandatory Access Control was limited to
| files. In the new patch, he explained, "now TOMOYO Linux has access control
| functionality not only for files but also for networking, signal transmission
| and namespace manipulation and we got the source code cleaned-up."

Pluggable Schedulers vs. Pluggable Security
,----[ Quote ]
| Regarding the comparison between pluggable schedulers and pluggable security,
| Linus stated:
|
| "Really - not only is the whole 'desktop scheduler' argument totally
| bogus to begin with (and only brought up by people who either don't know
| anything about it, or who just want to argue, regardless of whether the
| argument is valid or not), quite frankly, when you say that it's
| the 'same issue' as with security models, you're simply FULL OF SH*T.

Potty mouth again, and a bit of an attack on CK et al.

| And also credit where credit's due, Con Kolivas was the first one to
| prove via RSDL/SD that 'fair scheduling' is possible and that it
| results in better desktop scheduling.
