Mounting the ISO Images

Mounting the ISO Images

The next step is to mount the ISO image file. Let’s create a directory under /mnt to place the mounted file.

bash# cd /mnt
bash# mkdir iso
bash# cd iso
bash# mkdir mndrk81

Now mount the ISO image file to this newly created directory

bash# mount -o loop,unhide -t iso9660 -r /home/image/mndrk81.iso /mnt/iso/mndrk81

Note

The “-o loop” means use the option that mounts a file as a block device. The unhide option shows hidden files. The “-t iso9660” means that the file is in the iso9660 CD-ROM format. The “-r” means to mount read-only.

LinuxQuestions.org – grsecurity vs selinux vs lids – where Linux users come for help

LinuxQuestions.org – grsecurity vs selinux vs lids – where Linux users come for help: “It is easier to configure and it does pretty good job for workstation.
Remember that aplying patches does nothing, you need to know how to configure SELinux or RSBAC.
Few examples:
atfer aplying RSBAC and rebooting you will not be able to login for the first time (or at all if you don’t know how to enable soft mode), you need to know what to do, where you passwords will go, your /var/log/message will grow to ~500MB in the first few hours if you don’t know how to manage it, and so on.

So start with easy (and really good) grsecurity. Still you may not be able to start X or X may freeze randomly, if you don’t know how to configure it. So don’t worry there is enough to learn from grsecurity.:)

GPL Business

The FSF is not selling a product. There is no offer to buy or acceptance of that offer. In fact, **there is no product** To quote from the GPL:

Read it again: without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY. The FSF is being open that their code is not a salable product.

Anyone is welcome to come along and turn the FSF’s code into a salable product. They can do this by offering a warranty that the code has a useful purpose and can do so for whatever price they choose. Again to quote from the GPL:

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

The generally low price for GPLd software is a consequence of unfettered competition, something monopolists have a problem with.
