What the hell?

I had to read this again. Is this article for real? Sony use RedHat for their authentication server?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 10 years ago RedHat was one of the suites that the people in the business referred to as "Linux for Dummies". Don't get me wrong. It's a very nice system, but it's initial setup can be rather bloated when compared to other kernel distributions.

That was back in the time where if you wanted security, you'd implement an operating system with open, but tight regulations on the source, such as OpenBSD. I dunno. Have RedHat changed their ways and become less bloated? I stopped tracking them after I moved up to Debian.


Wasn't RedHat made into a comercial offering for enterprise servers at one point? Maybe that variont of it is/was a different animal?

You could be right there...

Regardless, it now sounds like this was the cause of Sony becoming rather lax on their Apache updates.
