The first Linux release of 2019 is now available. As it was announced a few months ago by Linus Torvalds Linux 5.0 brings a striking change in numbering, but it is not more important than other releases. As usual, it adds a large number of technical improvements, including these five new features:
The Linux Foundation has launched a project to guarantee the security of critical systems using Linux. It’s called it ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) and its objective is to create and certify applications and critical security systems based on Linux.
If you are a Linux user you may know that the desktop clients for Google Drive compatible with the operating system led by Linus Torvalds are scarce. Above all if you’re looking for a free alternative that works smoothly. That’s why it is worth taking a look at Odrive, an application for Drive that can be used in Linux and which automatically synchronizes files and folders to and from Google’s cloud service.
Security experts at Check Point have discovered a new Trojan that exploits vulnerabilities in six Linux distributions and macOS devices. This malware is able to implement a backdoor in the system that dodges the antivirus and other security solutions installed on the devices.
The UDS Enterprise VDI and vApp connection broker allows you to choose among several options when displaying Linux virtual applications to users. The administrators of the platform can decide if they want users to see each Linux vApp individually, as independent services, or if they prefer them to be shown all grouped, as a single service. The image below shows an example of each case:
The UDS Enterprise team recommends a series of configurations when planning a deployment of Linux virtual applications using this VDI & vApp connection broker.
The first one refers to the persistence of the virtual desktops where the vApp will be deployed. It is advisable to use non-persistent desktops, so that when a user finishes using a virtual application, the desktop where the application is running is removed.
