Brindle on Security

For those who haven’t seen this, it is good news for everyone I think. Basically it means that the company that I work for, Tresys Technology, which has considerable security engineering experience and knowledge now has the ability to reach people who need those services, through Red Hat’s services division. 

Up until now we have done primarilly government work so we’ve been somewhat out of touch with the needs of commercial Linux users, many of which need security expertise to meet regulations or to protect their customers privacy. I hope this turns in to a productive partnership, for us, them and their customers.

So, stackoverflow.com was released to public beta pretty recently and I must say I’m impressed. It looks like a great place to go to get tough programming (and other) questions answered. 
So, in order to give it a spin I posted the question Do you disable SELinux? 

It didn’t get nearly as many answers as What’s your favorite “programmer” cartoon but I did get mostly good feedback, it seems like the audience on stackoverflow, in general, have seen the positive progress of SELinux and many have chosen to keep it enabled (or even write policies and make it work for them).

Good to hear!
