Red Hat And IBM Add Security Certification
By Larry Greenemeier, InformationWeek 
June 15, 2007

IBM and Red Hat want government and business IT operations that need the
highest levels of security to give their combination of Linux systems
another look. That's why the companies on Monday are announcing a
heightened level of security certification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5 running on IBM System x, System p, System z, and BladeCenter servers.

RHEL5 on IBM now meets government security standards allowing Linux to
be used in homeland security projects, command-and-control operations,
and throughout government agencies that previously were limited to a
select few other highly-secure operating systems, the companies said.
