Marcel GagnéRather than popping the disk in, doing a basic install, and walking away, I thought it would be nice to look at the upgrade process as well, which is where I'll start this part of the review.
Joe "Zonker" BrockmeierThere are numerous Weblog packages available but the "Big Daddy" in the field. is Slash.
Brian Aker, chromatic and Dave KriegerNo matter what Topics a weblog covers, it will always require fresh content. In Slash terms, these are Stories. Consequently, most Authors will spend their time in the Stories list.
Randal L. SchwartzI recently put www.stonehenge.com behind a caching reverse-proxy, and rather than switch technologies, I'm using another instance of a stripped-down Apache server to do the job. But what kind of job is it doing?
Ed SchaeferThis month, Mendel Cooper (thegrendel@theriver.com) submits a bash script called soundex.ss. The Soundex system is a hashing algorithm for surnames. It catalogs variants of a given surname, such as Smith, Smyth, and Smythe, and encodes them according to the way they are pronounced.
Joe "Zonker" BrockmeierEfficiently running Web servers is more of an art than a science. You need to have a way to benchmark your servers to see what they can take when real users get a crack at them. Joe looks at two tools, scout and siege, that you can use to stress-test your Web sites.
Alex LangeOne of the latest waves in systems administration is to use handheld devices to administer systems remotely. As system administrators need to be everywhere at once, the convenience and ease of administering systems via a Palm™ Pilot (as one example) is becoming more and more apparent. This article describes how to compile a simple PQA on Linux using the public domain LinPQA compiler.

Peter Baer GalvinRegardless of the new technologies that promise decreasing storage needs, those needs keep increasing. Whether it is user files, databases, human resources information, or research results, disks keep getting filled. The trend toward consolidated storage is strong and getting stronger. This month in the Solaris Corner, I’ll discuss the business needs for consolidated storage, provide a process for designing a storage solution, and look at the two leading solutions: SAN and NAS. Next month, in part 2, I will cover the implementation of consolidated storage, including some complexities you may not expect.
Jeff KopmanisIn the age of Web-based archives of packaged break-in tools (“script kits”) being run by inexperienced hackers (“script kiddies”), it’s increasingly important not to overreact when you suspect that a break-in has occurred. This article helps provide ideas, methods, and checklists for detecting blackhats and securing your Linux box.
