Links to other useful resources
Here are some useful software, security, and administration
resource links. If you have a site that you would like to
see listed here, feel free to send us an email.
A useful daily news site focusing on the open source BSD operating systems
( FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, and
NetBSD). Also contains plenty
of information that non-BSD users and administrators will find useful
as well.
A good source for security information and updates, covering a wide
variety of operating systems. Administrators should consider subscribing
to the CERT security bulletin email list for up-to-date bulletins on
vulnerabilities and exploits.
Microsoft's security focus site, containing up-to-date information on
Windows security issues, including security updates and patches, as
well as information on Windows security technologies.
A stable, fast, and secure free UN*X, based on the original BSD UNIX.
Runs on Intel x86 systems and the Alpha platform.
Red Hat is the Linux distribution used on machines in the Physics
department. You can often find the latest news, updates, and downloads
on their official web site.
A site dedicated to system administration (including, but not limited
to, Sun systems, of course). For some reason, their site looks a lot
like ours, but that is probably just coincidece.
A great source for freeware AIX software packages. If you need to
download some AIX software, this is the first place to look.
