Hi,

What's the technical difference between Novell Security Manger and Astaro Linux ?

Is it the same?

Thanks,
Eduardo

  • apparently not a bunch..according to this:

    Astaro is built on SLES..[:)]

    Astaro, a specialist in Linux-driven integrated security, has rolled out a product touted as the first on any operating system to combine network firewall protection with an anti-spyware gateway.

    In an interview with LinuxPlanet, Jon Friedman, Astaro's VP of product marketing, noted that Astaro Security Linux is built on top of a hardened edition of Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). Like previous versions, the new Astaro Security Linux 5.2 also includes a VPN gateway; virus protection; intrusion detection; and spam and "surf" protection, according to Friedman.
