Book Review: Security in Computing
Emmett Dulaney
There are two broad categories of security books: 1) those that focus on one small topic/solution and the implementation of it, and 2) those that provide an overview of all aspects of computer security. The fourth edition of Security in Computing falls into the latter category, and I must honestly say there isn't a more complete and up-to-date title filling this niche that I am aware of.

Regular Expressions: Rexx Still Going Strong
Cameron Laird, Kathryn Soraiz
Because you're compulsive about four-letter names.
Or because you're a refugee from the orphanages of OS/2 or Amiga, who likes the reliability of Unix, but misses a few more friendly faces. Or because you're curious about how good a lightweight language can be after a quarter century of refinement. Or because you have responsibilities that stretch across Windows, OS/400, MVS, Linux, and even rarer operating systems.
Or simply because you want to get work done and are curious about whether Rexx might fit your situation better than the scripting language you're using now. All of these are good reasons to set aside a morning and introduce yourself to the oldest "personal programming language".

Review: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Joe Casad
Since its founding, Red Hat has been locked in a never-ending quest to answer the question, "How do we make money on a product the customer can obtain elsewhere for free?" Enterprise Linux 3 is the latest episode in Red Hat's quest. And though you will find the same old Linux inside, this latest offering from the leading Linux vendor reflects a credible new approach to the market and a steady commitment to strategic engineering improvements. It looks like they might be on the right track, but only the market knows for sure.
