Security beyond Obscurity

Another Bambi Blog

Welcome to my Other Blog!

, , , , , , , ,

Howdy and welcome to my other blog. My main blog is at BambisMusings.com but I wanted to try out Opera's offerings and I do enjoy the Opera browser quite a bit. I also enjoy Mozilla's Firefox browser as well.

I figured with all the hoopla about Vista coming out, Mac OS X Leopard on the horizon as well. And many great Linux distros out there. Why not discuss Security beyond Obscurity?

I have always enjoyed Windows despite the philosophy of Security by Obscurity, until this latest thing, Vista, which I am not going to use. I have recently received a Mac which is more open in that respect due to it's Darwin/BSD roots, albeit not when it comes to Aqua or certain other elements. And of course I also use things like Fedora Core and Ubuntu, which are basically Open Architecture or Security through Knowledge ... in other words the ability to see what's under the hood, change it if you want or need to, or create your own if you are capable in the programming realm, because it's an open architecture.

Well, I will try to post on my new other blog :wink: as often as I can. But it might not be as often as I'd like since we are very busy folks! But please check back often as I hope to talk more about this in the coming days, weeks, months, years even! LOL!

Thanks for taking time to visit and come back soon, ya hear! :smile:

It's time for Apple to wake up and smell the coffee, errr, Java!

I bought my first MacBook this past Christmas and havent looked back. I have been a avid windows user since the days of 3.1. About 6 months ago my brother-in-law gave me a live cd of Ubuntu. I thought Ubuntu was the best thing to come past my way in years. I setup my MacBook to run OS X and Fedora Core 2. Using BootCamp was a treat. The only thing I had to do was download a package called "refit". This package alows you to boot more than one OS. I would of liked to install Ubuntu verses Fedora Core 2, But couldnt seem to get Ubuntu to get through the install process. Ubuntu kept crashing and later I found out that Ubuntu doesnt work well side by side with OS X. If you have any ideas about this, would love to here your input.
Thanks

That's great about Ubuntu on the MacBook! I did see the original time it was installed on a Mac and was hoping it would get better and better!

Looks like it is!
