    “run it as root for maximum functionality.”

    Russian-based company

    Closed-source

    Aims to enhance security

      It’s an older interview, but I like to bring this up whenever Kaspersky comes up as a topic:

      If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?

      Internet design–that’s enough.

      That’s it? What’s wrong with the design of the Internet?

      There’s anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people–hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrong…to introduce it in the same way.

        To mention anything remotely associated with Russia is to be a paid Putler puppet; a lot of people are saying. See you at Tolstoy & the Dostoevsky book burning.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
