It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.
How is this an article on why python is the best?
On June 10th, 2008 Michael (not verified) says:
How is this article about Python being the best? Its a trip down memory lane!
There's no argument or supporting facts on WHY Python is the best. Zero. Call this article something else, because its not about Python being the best. Its about Phil's past experience in the good old days of 68000's and Awk.
There's only a comparison to Pascal with Ruby, and a very weak one at best.
Where's the comparison with the other scripting languages?
Honestly, this article feels like it was pulled from someone's personal blog whose title was "The Good Old Days Before Python." Or at least, a partial introduction on a job application.
C'mon Linux Journal, get better writers! Not to mention, get some better editors to! They seem to be falling down on the job.
I'm very disappointed in this article with its lack of relevance, facts, and focus.
