| ARTICLES RELATED TO Hurd | | | |  Hurd: Encyclopedia II - Computer security - Computer security by designThere are two different approaches to security in computing. One focuses mainly on external threats, and generally treats the computer system itself as a trusted system. This philosophy is discussed in the computer insecurity article.
The other, discussed in this article, regards the computer system itself as largely an untrusted system, and redesigns it to make it more secure in a number of ways.
This technique enforces privilege separation, where an entity has only the privileges that are needed for its function. That way, ev ...

| | | | | Hurd: Encyclopedia II - Linux - Development efforts More Than a Gigabuck: Estimating GNU/Linux's Size, a study of Red Hat Linux 7.1, found that this particular distribution contained 30 million source lines of code (SLOC). The Linux kernel contained 2.4 million lines of code, or 8% of the total. Using the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO), the study estimated that this distribution required about eight thousand person-years of development time. Had all this software been developed by conventional proprietary means, it would have cost 1.08 billion dollars (year 2000 dollars) to develop in the United States. Slightly over half of the code in ...

| | | | | Hurd: Encyclopedia II - Linux - Distributions Linux is predominantly used as part of a Linux distribution (commonly called a 'distro'). These are compiled by individuals, loose-knit teams, and various professional organizations. They include additional system software and application programs, as well as certain processes to install these systems on a computer. Distributions are created for many different purposes, including localization, architecture support, real-time appli ...

| | | | | Hurd: Encyclopedia II - LiveCD - Common traits Some LiveCDs come with an installation utility launchable from a desktop icon that can optionally install the system on a hard drive or USB keydrive. Most LiveCDs can access the information on internal and/or external hard drives, diskettes and USB Flash memories.
Most LiveCDs contain a system based on the GNU system and the Linux kernel, but there are also LiveCDs based on other operating systems, such as Mac OS, Mac OS X, BeOS, FreeBSD, Minix, NetBSD, Plan 9 or Microsoft Windows, though the legal status of LiveCDs based on Windows c ...
