Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat Edition -A Hands on Guide

# 5. Software -Security

> The next Two parts will exclusively deal with the Software other than the one's which the Linux distribution, in our case Redhat Linux, may or may not provide as a part of its core distribution. In some cases it may be provided as an extra but may come as pre-compiled binary which may not exactly suit your purpose. Hence we have in most cases used source packages usually packed as tar gzipped -`*.tar.gz` or in some recent case in tar bzipped -`*.tar.bz2` format. This gives us the maximum available choices to tweak, choose and delete the options within these Softwares. Just a word about the `*.tar.gz` and `*.tar.bz2`, the contents are same except that the compression used is different and the `bz2` extention is smaller in size as compressed format.
