If you have never done RPM packaging before, this book is the gold standard. For everything you ever wanted to know about creating RPMs, start here.
There are many how-to articles and tutorials describing how to create RPMs. However, creating RPMs in a clean build environment and in a consistent reproducible way requires more effort than should be necessary.
Novell SUSE Linux provides a build utility that streamlines the RPM creation process and ensures configuration and system uniformity. It does this in an isolated, chroot environment that contains only the packages that are required to create your RPM.
This tutorial outlines how to create an RPM from a random open source project using build.rpm.
Novell just announced the creation of the AppArmor project, a new open source project that is dedicated to advancing state-of-the-art Linux* application security.
Novell recently announced that its Global Support and Services organization has achieved certification under the prestigious Support Center Practices (SCP) Certification program.
A brief comparison and contrast of Altiris' Handheld Management Suite, LANDesk Software's LANDesk Management Suite, and Novell's ZENworks Suite.
A look under-the-hood of a leading Linux server product and comparison to its rival, Microsoft.
AppArmor is the most effective and easy-to-use Linux application security system available today. AppArmor proactively protects the operating system and applications from external or internal threats--even zero-day attacks--by enforcing good behavior and preventing unknown application flaws from being exploited. AppArmor security policies completely define what system resources individual applications can access and with what privileges. A number of default policies are included with AppArmor and, using a combination of advanced static analysis and learning-based tools, AppArmor policies for even very complex applications can be deployed successfully in hours.
