AppArmor and a firewall are redundant? The phrase "defense in depth" is not just a sales term, every level needs to be protected. Microsoft understands this as well, perhaps better than most. > better. I'm busy because of other stuff I have to do. I agree with "IMHO > - earth health comes before security... :)" by Michael. I actually disagree with both you. I do not see security and efficiency (which is what "green" is really talking about) as mutually exclusive. As I see it both are important components to a well designed system. Framing the discussion as an either or choice is not useful and is actually harmful. Consider that most compromised machines have a heavier load than if they were not compromised, so they are using more energy. > This really is something that should be solved and a default for 3.0. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpJAVMACgkQwRXgH3rKGfOpNwCgr3UEnjhk0r39S457sktnNUNK JyAAoK9YhUak/SnFPH5OWcgKlEieQpAm =MoDu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list 64studio-users@lists.64studio.com http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
