Re: About Operating Systems security

Oups! sorry if it was not clear.
I'm not asking you for any application recommandation nor any OS
recommandation. In fact my question should be ennonced like that : how do
you do when you want to introduce a new OS in your companie ?
Some mails earlier, I've been told to calculate the TCB (Trusted Computing
Base) of the whole system and since that, I concentrate my efforts on it.
