OK, when have you ever heard of a compliance package ever being audited? The audit process generally doesn’t look at the package, any more than if you use Quicken to do your taxes does an IRS auditor look at quicken. These packages can run on Linux because, typically, they would be outside of the scope if the audit. They are to point to problems and are not, typically, a direct part of the financial paper trail that creates the numbers being audited. Many of these packages run on Windows 9x as well, and I’m not aware of any large corporation who runs their financial systems on Windows 9x.
There is fundamental assumption that is being made about what I’m saying that is untrue. I’m not saying that, therefore, you need to switch to Windows to run your financial services. I am saying that if your systems are on UNIX (which is where most are) you probably should leave them there. But, wherever they are, you are not going to get a free pass from audit if you “believe” your systems are secure, you will need to prove it with solid documentation, rhetoric doesn’t cut it. If you are using Linux from HP and in compliance with their indemnification program, you may, in fact, be able to do that (you’ll still have to do the documentation) but if you are not (and couldn’t show documentation of a similar trust relationship for patches and updates), and were I running the audit, you likely would fail.
