Why is only SuSE approved, and not Red Hat? ----------- From: Post, Mark K (SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Yahoo News Article: Linux OK'd for Use on Most-Sensitive PCs "Linux software has been approved for use on the most sensitive computers in corporations and the federal government, including those inside banks and the Pentagon, an important step for software widely considered the top rival to Microsoft Corp.

The certification is akin to the technology industry's seal of approval." ... "The approval, being announced Tuesday, involves only one version of Linux, from SuSE Linux AG, a vendor based in Nuremberg, Germany, when the software is installed on a particular line of IBM's server computers. IBM, which paid roughly $500,000 for the testing, and SuSE (pronounced "SOOS-ah") were announcing the certification jointly."
