FreeOS.com: Racing to ReiserFS on Red Hat (Apr 21, 2001, 22:43)
"Of all the journal filesystems available today, ReiserFS, is
the most developed under Linux. While IBM's JFS and SGI's XFS have
been around a lot longer, they are still in an prenatal stage as
far as the Linux OS is concerned. Ext3 has also quite a way to go.
So, for now, our choice of a journal filesystem is ReiserFS."

IDG.net: Replacing a Linux gateway with a cheap
appliance (Apr 21, 2001, 18:00)
"Anyway, I must point out that Linux can still do more
sophisticated firewalling than any of the appliances such as the
SOHOware and Linksys boxes. I still use the firewall capabilities
of Linux for the servers that are connected directly to the
Internet. But for many situations these simple units make Linux,
BSD, or even Windows firewalling gateways obsolete. And who knows,
perhaps one or more of these cheap devices is running embedded
Linux anyway."

IBM developerWorks: Dynamic iptables firewalls (Apr 21, 2001, 11:00)
"The best way to see the benefits of dynamic firewall scripts is
to see them in action. To do this, let's imagine that I'm a
sysadmin at an ISP, and I've recently set up a Linux-based firewall
to protect my customers and internal systems from malicious users
on the Internet. To do this, my firewall uses the new Linux 2.4
iptables stateful functionality to allow new outgoing connections
to be established by my customers and servers, and of course to
allow new incoming connections, but only to "public" services, such
as web, ftp, ssh, and SMTP. Since I used a deny-by-default design,
any from-Internet connections to non-public services, such as the
squid proxy cache or Samba server, are automatically rejected. So
far, I have a pretty decent firewall that offers a good level of
protection for everyone at my ISP."
