Hey,

I did a search and did not find any mention of this so if it is a repeat I apologise in advance.

The news release is about a month old but I thought it was significant enough to be posted...

LynuxWorks is stating at http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6765352929.html

it will ship a new super-high-security operating system in July, 2005 that was designed to meet the very highest levels of military certification...

LynxSecure was designed for certification to Common Criteria EAL-7 (Evaluated Assurance Level 7), a level of certification unattained by any known OS to date.
I have seen alot of stuff debating the pro's and con's of an open source OS being able to meet the security requirements of EAL-7... but I say if Linux can meet these requirements all the better.

WOW...
