I just found this article describing a worm that attempts to infect vulnerable Apache servers running on FreeBSD.

The next time ZDNet runs a story about Linux and you start feeling the urge to click on the link and read it, I've got a piece of advice for you.

I keep seeing "someday someone will write a DOS edit clone for Linux"-type longings in Linux publications. These are pointless, because there is something better out there.

I had to put a Linux server out all alone in the big, bad world today. Before I turned it loose, I did a few things to give it a fighting chance out there.

Setting up DNS on Linux isn't supposed to be the easiest thing in the world. But it wasn't supposed to be this hard either.

Quit wasting space on your CD rack with CDs that are only 3/4 full!

Sometimes in the course of work, it's necessary to securely wipe a disk. A drive containing confidential information may require replacement. Assuming you caught the problem before the drive died for good, you can wipe it before sending it back to the manufacturer.

My head's still swimming from my crash course in BIND. I knew enough BIND to be dangerous--I've known how to set up a caching nameserver for years, and even stumbling through creating a master server for someone with a fixed IP address who wanted to host a domain wasn't beyond me. Creating BIND servers for an enterprise isn't too big of a deal, but creating one right can be.

Linux sites I read regularly. I had a conversation with someone yesterday, and sometime during the course of it, the person said, "I could know more about Linux than so-and-so within four weeks if I had time." To which I replied he'd probably know more within a week. Then he cited the whole time thing.

The penguins are coming! Word came down from the corner office (the really big corner office) that he wants us to get really serious about Linux. He sees Linux as a cheap and reliable solution to some of the problems some outside clients are having. This is good. Really good.
