Linux Magazine: VR3 Does Not Meet the Agenda
(Sep 22, 2001, 22:01)
"The VR3 is a very clever handheld, but as a consumer PDA, it
doesn't hold a candle to the much more mature Palm devices. Its
appeal would be greatest for Linux hackers who want a pocket-sized
Linux device to fool around with or for application developers who
want to port standard apps to this platform instead of writing them
from scratch for Windows CE or PalmOS."

Slashdot: Hacking Linux Exposed [Book Review] (Sep 22, 2001, 17:58)
"The Linux focus allows the authors to get much more in depth
than they were able to in Hacking Exposed , which was disjointed at
times, unable to really probe each issue. However the opposite is
also true --- since they wanted to focus on Linux-specific attacks,
they do not go into general attacks, such as JavaScript, cross site
scripting, and other browser-related problems, for example. For
these types of attacks you should look elsewhere. I think keeping
the focus clean is very much worth it."

O'Reilly Network: Introduction to Wireless
(Sep 22, 2001, 14:03)
"The low cost of wireless hubs and wireless cards has brought
this exciting new technology into the realm of affordability for
almost anyone. Wireless networking hubs, called "access points" can
be purchased for as little as USD$300, and with manufacturer
rebates, wireless PC cards for laptops and handhelds are under $100
from most online discounters. So, with all this activity, it seems
a perfect area to explore for the Linux-centric enterprise to
enable your users to liberate themselves from the shackles of CAT5
cables and get a breath of fresh air."
