[ale] EULA trap (fwd)

[tslane at attbi.com (tslane at attbi.com)]

why would a financial institution, of all industries, run
M$   on anything less than two firewalls away (re:
desktop) from a mission critical application?

if you need more robust security/auditing than the GPL
DBs currently offer (which a bank certainly would) then
Oracle runs quite nicely on Linux (we've been production
for > 1 yr now).

M$ latest EULAs apparently have financial institutions worried
about the security of their data bases.  The story can be found
here:

It's an interesting read for any sysadmin who must guarantee
security for critical data.
