2. Terminology and abbreviations

In this section we will review the terms and abbreviations used in this document. Note that a boldface font is
reserved for product component names and also for newly defined terms and abbreviations. Terms and abbreviations

ESET Security is a standard acronym for all security products developed by ESET, spol. s r. o. for Linux, BSD and
Solaris operating systems. It is also the name (or its part) of the software package containing the products.
RSR
Abbreviation for 'RedHat/Novell(SuSE) Ready'. Note that we also support RedHat Ready and Novell(SuSE) Ready
variations of the product. The RSR package differs from the "standard" Linux version in that it meets the FHS (File-
