I use OpenLDAP with OpenSSL on my home lab, and I love it. Microsoft’s Active Directory is obviously the industry standard for enterprises, but OpenLDAP provides the same functionality without some of the shiny interfaces. It’s all the same engine underneath.
Yesterday’s hullabaloo about the GnuTLS stuff was pretty funny since most of us who use these products knew that GnuTLS was crap and wondered why the Internet was making it out to be such a big deal.
Open source folks protect their own. That’s the beauty of it.
I have been using Xubuntu for several years. Largely because it came packaged with XFCE, which I like very much.
I find that my version which failed to upgrade properly the last time I tried shows signs of possible system compromise.
The package I am running has “libcurl3-gnutls” included in it. The Xubuntu version is “7.21.3-1ubuntu1.5”.
I do no banking with this computer.
Have been thinking about switching to Fedora. I ran RedHat for years and liked it. I switched to XFCE for the first time under RedHat 8.0
What OS do you run? What OS do you think has the best security, overall?
