Linux Day is celebrated on the 25th of August or on the Saturday immediately after the 25th of August as a form of thanksgiving. Linux is an open source operating system developed by the community under the model of free and open software. The primary component of Linux is the kernel which was first released September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. You can find Linux in servers, mainframe computers, most supercomputers and smartphones. Android OS is based on the Linux kernel. I use it on my desktop and laptop. Thank you Linux.
Encryption is the topic of week. I wrote about it in a related post here. While encryption is a very good idea, doing it and doing it every day as part of your work flow is another thing. My view is that if you're already using an email client then it is easier, simpler and more convenient to adopt encryption. That is not the case if you're using a webmail service. If you are using the browser to check, compose and send your email, what are your options? The answer is: it's complicated. Looking for a way to do encryption with Google Chrome and Gmail, I found this. I also read that Google just released code for email encryption as open source. But it's a long way to being used by end users. The extension for Google Chrome works fine if the recipient also uses Google Chrome. But I went ahead and check this on Evolution.
