Police Career â Linux Computer Systems in Law Enforcement
,----[ Quote ]
| Law enforcement recently has been following
| the general tide of government and public
| service groundswell by seeking computing
| solutions in the Linux direction.
| Particularly in law enforcement, their
| needs match well with open source software.
| They have to work lean on a taxpayerâs
| budget, and open source is free or low
| cost. They need top security, and Linux is
| still the highest-scoring operating
| software in official government
| assessments. They need mission-critical
| reliability, and Linux is so stable, it
| doesnât just outrank the competition in
| stability â it makes the competition
| disappear!

Linux Shedding Indie Status is a Good Thing
,----[ Quote ]
| Byfield recommends CentOS and Debian for
| users seeking "refuge" from
| commercialization. Both fine projects, and
| they're great for a lot of users. But
| Ubuntu exists in part because Debian
| doesn't make a very good distro for
| mainstream users. CentOS is simply a re-
| packaging of a commercial Linux distro. If
| it weren't for Red Hat's work, CentOS
| likely cease to exist. So what's to gain
| from avoiding all hints of
| commercialization? Refusing to acknowledge
| the contribution that companies make to the
| production of free software?
