To clarify: I have noticed a great deal of FUD originating from the Linux
community over Microsoft offering a 'bounty' for resellers turning over the

There's an interesting article at Anandtech,

It's worth a read, just to see how they implemented a large-scale site with

Along with Pmfirewall you should also configure portsentry to watch for
port scans. Pmfirewall, using Ipchains, is a wonderful first step, but a
single layered security scheme isn't much security at all. I wouldn't use
anything less then two layers and thats cutting things down to bare bones.
Why? It's free and you can DL it from a few dozen places. Check

gcc, the C compiler, and g++, the c++ compiler
needs to be told which file you'd like to compile.
If I've written a program and called it "dirtydeeds.c" or
"dirtydeeds.cpp", when I want to compile it, I'd type:
gcc dirtydeeds.c
OR
g++ dirtydeeds.cpp

Does Mandrake have a bug tracking site? I'm curious whether

There is a way to do a net install via FTP (and maybe HTTP too). I've been tempted to
try it, just to say I did, but haven't needed to. It involves making a boot disk which
contains an extremely small version of linux.
You boot off the disk, and then into the installer, where you input the

It would be wise to set your internet security setting to such a level that activeX
scripts cannot run, unless you give them explicit permission.
I saw Evan's email and couldn't figure out what the hell he was doing trying to run
Active X on email. Hope you get rid of it okay, everyone.
Can you elaborate on what you've heard?
