Why I won't upgrade my Linux distribution
I'm not upgrading my Fedora Core 2 machine to Core 3, even though the new version has been out for a couple of months.

I guess that's one of those dirty little secrets every Linux user knows, but that none of us talks about.
Adding Permissions Using SELinux
At this point in the development of SELinux, it's common for policies to contain small bugs that cause operations to fail when applications or programs are used in unusual ways unanticipated by policy developers. As an SELinux administrator, one of the most frequent SELinux policy customizations you're likely to perform is adding permissions to coax the security engine into accepting an operation. Let's consider an actual situation based on Fedora Core 2's SELinux implementation and see how it's resolved. The procedure we'll follow isn't the only procedure or best procedure. Creating new policies typically entails a generous dollop of troubleshooting, which tends to be relatively unstructured. So rather than see our procedure as the universal norm, you should see it as merely an illustrative example.

Red Hat CEO on China quest
At Red Hat Inc.'s headquarters in North Carolina, a quote from Mahatma Gandhi adorns a wall: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Red Hat's announcement in mid-November that it was opening an office in Beijing was "three and a half years in the making," according to the Linux firm's CEO, Chairman and President Matthew Szulik, a man who sounds like he's ready to rally the troops.
