WhiteSource review of programming language security errors reveal, which languages have the most security holes. The "winner?" C. But that's only the start of the story.

The system will be fully open source and designed with newly developed secure hardware to make the system not only impervious to certain kinds of hacking, but also allow voters to verify that their votes were recorded accurately.

No, containers are not small virtual machines. So, what are they? Well, let me tell you.

Windows 7 has less than a year of supported life left. If you really, really don't like Windows 10, it's time to consider running Linux Mint instead.

When you need to run Linux in an especially secure environment, SELinux is the answer. But it takes some know-how to get the hypersecure Linux version up and running.

Do you know what's in your pacemaker's source code? Your defibrillator? Your insulin pump? No one does -- except its maker. And that's worrying.

It's not like Linus Torvalds didn't warn us. Linux 5.0 is out, but there's no big updates to be found here.

With a sufficiently advanced Chromebook, you can now install and run Linux natively on it.

DIYers used a security flaw to bypass the $8.3 billion insulin delivery business with a cobbled-together artificial pancreas. By Naomi Kresge, Michelle Cortez.

The C language is very powerful, widely used—particularly in the Linux kernel—and very dangerous. One of the Linux engineers outlines how developers can cope with the programming language's security weaknesses. @Enterprisenxt

When you think of open-source software, you think about smartphones, servers, and the cloud. You probably don't think about movies, but you should.

Linux's creator is stepping back from his Linux kernel work.

Linux powers the internet, the Android in your pocket, and perhaps even some of your household appliances. A controversy over politics is now seeing some of its developers threatening to withdraw the license to all of their code, potentially destroying or making the whole Linux kernel unusable for a very long time. An open letter posted to the Linux Kernel Mailing List explains...

Linux-savvy legal experts from the past and present weigh in on this knotty, open-source licensing matter.

Some see this as a giant leap forward for Microsoft and open source. A few, however, see Microsoft's open-source patent move as just more of the same old, same old.

Like living dangerously? Keep running Windows. Like to take a little risk? Give the new version of Ubuntu Linux 18.10 a try.

That's why the news last week that Microsoft had joined OIN and agreed to freely license all of its patents to every other member in the pool is so shocking. Microsoft's Erich Andersen, who now holds the role that Gutierrez held a decade ago, admitted quite frankly in his blog post about this decision that many will be surprised, but it represents a real "evolution" in the way Microsoft thinks about Linux. I would say that's an understatement.

After a few weeks off to reconsider his role in the Linux community, Linus Torvalds is back in the saddle.

While in Edinburgh, I caught up with Linus Torvalds. He confided his thoughts about returning to Linux, the Code of Conduct, and some software, BPF, which is fundamentally changing how the Linux kernel and user space work together.

This deal is the biggest Linux and open-source acquisition ever.

IBM may be buying Red Hat, but Fedora, its community Linux distribution, has been released on schedule.

Do you want the best of the best Linux laptop this holiday season and price is no object? If that's you, then you want the Ubuntu Linux-powered Dell's XPS 13 Developer Edition laptop.

Linux overcame massive hardware security problems while Microsoft -- yes, Microsoft -- made its biggest ever open-source software move.

In this post, we are looking back at 2018 and then forward to outline future work on GIMP, GEGL, and babl.

It's not just Tesla with Linux under the hood. Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Toyota, to name a few, all rely on Linux.

But even Linus Torvalds says it's not that big of a deal.

One of Linux's core softwre installation programs, apt, was recently found to have a serious security hole. It's now patched.

Google loves to woo app makers to Android by whispering the sweet sounds of 'openness' and 'open source' in their ears. While that's not entirely accurate, they heed the call for good reasons. Read this article by Seth Rosenblatt on CNET News.

There are many ways to measure whether an open source project is gaining meaningful traction. Here how’s OpenDaylight’s doing it.

The Linux Foundation's OpenDaylight Project conducted a third-party survey that found 95 percent of networking pros want open-source software-defined networking technologies.

Every team has someone who at the bottom of its bell curve: an individual who has a hard time keeping up with other team members. By my observation, how your team members treat that person is a significant indicator of …Read »

With the release of Docker 1.0, container technology took a big step forward in catching up with enterprise datacenter and cloud virtualization.

It’s not news that a lot of IT folk are introverted. But let’s acknowledge what a good thing that is.
