Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory: apache (Nov 28, 2001, 22:01)
"A problem exists with all Apache servers prior to version
1.3.19. The vulnerablity could allow directory indexing and path
discovery on the vulnerable servers with a custom crafted request
consisting of a long path name created artificially by using
numerous slashes. This can cause modules to misbehave and return a
listing of the directory contents by avoiding the error page."

IBM developerWorks: Using the xinetd program for system administration (Nov 28, 2001, 15:15)

wrapping, modular configuration, connection redirection, and load
limits on incoming connections are just a few of the features that

is meant for the beginner to intermediate system administrator and
the explanations and examples will try not to assume that you are
already familiar with inetd."

LinuxDevices.com: A developer's review of Red Hat's Embedded Linux Developer Suite (Nov 28, 2001, 14:28)
"Like most other Embedded Linux toolkits, ELDS provides support
for the x86, ARM/StrongARM/XScale, MIPS, PowerPC, and SuperH
architectures. It requires 1.2 GB of hard disk space on the
development host, installing itself at /opt/redhat -- giving you no
opportunity to install elsewhere. It is very specific in its host
distribution requirements; you must use Red Hat Linux, either 7.1
or 7.2, running only under x86. ELDS also requires specific
versions of Perl and Python, installing them for you if
needed."

Network Computing: Special Report: SuSE Queues Up for a Clean Sweep (Nov 28, 2001, 12:05)
"Bottom line, SuSE impressed us enough to walk away with the
Editor's Choice award in both the server and workstation
categories. However, none of the other distributions was
particularly shabby, especially on the workstation side, where the
margin of victory was less than a point -- just 0.15."

O'Reilly Network: An Intro to Qt 3.0 (Nov 28, 2001, 11:01)
"Rainer Goebel, general manager of medical imaging specialists
Brain Innovation of Maastricht, summarizes his company's view: "We
ended up choosing Qt due to its consistent object-oriented
approach, combined with its elegant signal-slot mechanism. The
knowledge that Qt was used to develop KDE, one of the two major
modern Linux/Unix desktops, also helped in the decision
process."
