Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions to the enterprise, today announced the availability of Red Hat Application Server.

Search engines were created to give user access to the vast amounts of data located on the web. This is the equivalent of creating a pair of glasses to find a four-leaf clover in a large field: you know it’s probably in there somewhere if you look, and that it’s just sitting there waiting for you to find it; all you have to do is be in the right place, looking in the right direction, and assume the glasses are giving you the precise focus you need to find it.

When designing a Web site, most people give a lot of attention to two major factors: the design (graphics and logos) and the content. But what about the colors? This is one of the most important things to consider when designing your site. The colors of your Web site are important because they will define the mood and emotions of your visitors as well as reflect your identity and image branding.

In the e-newsletter world, a subscriber list of 10,000 – 20,000 readers is pretty impressive. A few publishers, such as Larry Chase, have over 40,000 subscribers. So I was amazed when I learned Red Hat boasts a subscriber list of 800,000 people for its e-newsletter, “Under the Brim” (UTB).

In the “Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) — Getting Started” article, the first in this series, you learned how to use an external style sheet. You simply include one line of code on your pages to affect the entire page with the style specified in that external style sheet.

On the first loading of the site what hits me is the abundant use of red and size of text. The page just jumps out and smacks my eyes. Ok this is a karate site but still.

It took longer than expected, but Joe Barr is pleased with RHN’s budget-friendly upgrade.

Red Hat’s hands-on lab exams are currently being updated to Red Hat 9.0, the newest version of the company’s flagship product, a company spokesperson told CertCities.com last week.

Counterpoint (http://www.synchronics.com) is a provider of point of sale and accounting software.

Red Hat installations are becoming pretty boring now – always the same thing – which is a very, very good sign.

In confronting malware, there is nothing innovative about the new strains of Klez, Yaha, SirCam and Code Red. Yet all of these worms have demonstrated unprecedented staying power on the Internet despite the existence of patches, anti-virus signatures, personal firewall protection and Intrusion Detection technology. Why are these threats so prolific, and why do new threats gain traction so quickly if all they amount to are retread malicious code?

This paper analyzes the patterns of emerging malware and presents a strategy to assist network and security administrators in addressing “new” yet old threats.

Cluley said so few servers are vulnerable that a widespread attack is unlikely, but even a contained infection could cause Internet slowdowns and other problems.

Little Red Riding Hood went walking in the woods alone, and then … she forgot to look under grandmother’s nightie. Are you doing this with your ezine? Ezines are great for promoting your services and products, and they can also generate advertising dollars for you IF you look under grandmother’s nightie.

A short time ago I wrote an article discussing resources for Red Hat 8.0. Widely touted as a more “user-friendly” version of Linux, I gave it a whirl and intended to share my views with you. Instead, I will respond to some of the many, many questions readers sent in. Thank you all for your feedback! You’ve raised some very good issues.

If you’re like me, you’ve considered eliminating Windows from your computer at some point. The upgrade scheme is confusing, and there’s an endless stream of hacks, viruses, worms, and exploits that target Windows computers exclusively.

Linux, by comparison, appears to be more stable. It seems to require less maintenance, and there aren’t any legal strings attached to it. It does, however, have a “geeks only” reputation that scares away many novices early on. Recently, Red Hat, a Linux software company, has made an effort to change that techs-only image.

When you are feeling angry at someone, what do you do? Do you know how to express your feelings in ways that are clear and assertive? Many folks don’t. For that reason, one of two things happens: they hold the anger in, and, as we all know, it sneaks out in strange and often inappropriate ways, or, they explode and scatter their unhappiness over everyone, perhaps, destroying relationships on the way! Neither of these are healthy alternatives.
