Windows NT 40 Verses Lynix

gineers are there for Linux? How easy is it to find skilled development and support people for Linux? Who performs end﷓to﷓end testing for Linux﷓based solutions? These factors and more need to be taken into account when choosing a platform for your business. Windows 7Myth: Linux is more secure than Windows NT Reality: Linux Security Model Is WeakAll systems are vulnerable to security issues, however it's important to note that Linux uses the same security model as the original UNIX implementations, a model that was not designed from the ground up to be secure. Linux only provides access controls for files and directories. In contrast, every object in Windows NT, from files to operating system data structures, has an access control list and its use can be regulated as appropriate. Linux security is all﷓or﷓nothing. Administrators cannot delegate administrative privileges: a user who needs any administrative capability must be made a full administrator, which compromises best security practices. In contrast, Windows NT allows an administrator to delegate privileges at an exceptionally fine﷓grained level. Linux has not supported key security accreditation standards (Linux Myths, 1999).Every member of the Windows NT family since Windows NT 3.5 has been evaluated at either a C2 level under the U.S. Government's evaluation process or at a C2﷓equivalent level under the British Government's ITSEC process. In contrast, no Linux products are listed on the U.S. Government's evaluated product list. Linux system administrators must spend huge amounts of time understanding the latest Linux bugs and determining what to do about them. This is made complex due to the fact that there isn't a central location for security issues to be reported and fixed. In contrast Microsoft provides a single security repository for notification and fixes of security related issues. Configuring Linux security requires a...
