XandrosOS: User-friendly to a fault (Register)
[Posted February 18, 2004 by ris]
The Register
says XandrosOS is
friendly, but not secure enough. "
There's a serious lack of
attention to encryption and data hygiene. It's very easy to integrate GnuPG
with KMail; unfortunately, GnuPG and KGpg are not included. It's also easy
to integrate GnuPG with Mozilla Mail using a recent feature called
Enigmail, though the Mozilla version (1.4) packaged with Xandros lacks
it. The Shred utility is included, but it's not integrated with the file
browser. The right-click menu and menu bar offer only to delete a file, not
remove it securely. Shred must be run from the shell, which, again, is a
bit much for novices."
