Feb 05, 2001, 15:40 (0 Talkback[s])

[ Thanks to Chris Carella for this link. ]

"One of the really nice things about going to LinuxWorld Expo last week was meeting gnu/linux users and developers from around the world. It is a quick reminder of how big this whole gnu/linux thing is, and at the same time, how communal we all are. I was fortunate enough to interview one of the real gems of the international gnu/linux security community, Renato Murilo Langona, of Linux Security Brazil. Linux Security Brazil is a portuguese equivalent to LinuxLock, and Renato is excited to be giving back to the community."

"linuxlock: Who are you? Both inside and outside LinuxSecurity.com.br?

Renato: My name is Renato Murilo Langona, 21, I work as a security analyst and systems administrator/consultant for several companies in Brazil and try to contribute as much as I can for the Brazilian Linux and Open Source community with security related information as a manner of paying everything they gave me for free (information, support, friendship, etc) when I needed... Inside LinuxSecurity Brasil I am its administrator, responsable for its content, security and everything else except the "money guy" :-)"

"linuxlock: Is GNU/Linux an accepted platform for Security Solutions in Brazil?

Renato: Sure it is, not just because it's much less expensive comparing to other commercial solutions, but because it SHOWED to be a strong, extremely easy (from a point of view) to implement, with lots of support and above of everything __reliable__"
