Don't believe everything you read from any news agency.
Look at DoDD 8500.1, it supersedes DoD 5200.28-STD(Orange Book), read the 
whole thing and read section 4.17 more then once.

then go to http://niap.nist.gov
can you find Linux there at all? Look under Validated Products or Products in 
Evaluation.  If your answer is 'NO", then it's not happening yet.  Don't be 
surpised when you see w2k there with EAL4 (C2 in OB).
