Trust Linux!

“The latest release of openSUSE, a Linux version sponsored by
software maker Novell, comes packaged with software that allows
users to set up a trusted computing (TC) environment on their
computer, enhancing security beyond the antivirus programs and
firewalls that frequently prove inadequate at keeping bugs, viruses
and spyware at bay.

“Promoted and developed by major chipmakers and software
companies in the international Trusted Computing Group, trusted
computing uses both hardware and software to create a trusted and
secure environment, whether on a home PC, a web server, in a data
centre or over a corporate network. At the core of the technology
is the trusted platform module (TPM), which is a chip that, among
other security-boosting features, generates and manages
cryptographic keys, verifies the identity of the computer on a
network and protects software and data from malicious changes.”
