from your link:

According to Frye, the certification is "big news for the Linux industry" because it shows that open-source software can be used for sensitive computing tasks. "If anyone had any doubts that you could do this with an open-source operating system, we've proved them wrong.".

good and welcome news for redhat and linux:D

Does anyone else find it amusing that it is a government sponsored entity that gives the certification and the government can't even secure its own systems properly? ;) (USA government that is)
