The Linux Challenge
(June 26, 2000)
Ready to take the Linux plunge? We migrated our Chicago Real-World Labs®
site to Linux to see how feasible and well it would work as our core operating
system. We changed over our VPN devices and converted our production
systems into Linux-based solutions--everything from our file and print servers
to our firewalls and backup systems. But will Linux cut the mustard in your
organization?
Enterprise Backup Goes Forward
(June 26, 2000)
Data backup is the single most important function we perform as
network administrators. Fortunately, some of the latest enterprise
backup solutions are fast, flexible, reliable and equipped to work on
multiple platforms. We tested four products installed on a Microsoft
Windows NT server to see how smoothly they back up IntranetWare,
Linux, UnixWare and Windows 98 clients. See our results.

NetSaint: A Prayer Answered for Network Managers on a Budget
(May 15, 2000)
Making sure all your servers and network gear are up and running is a full-time
job. For those of you with a tight budget, a bit of time and a Unix machine with a C compiler, NetSaint can give you the information and alarms necessary to endure when things aren't running perfectly.
HQ Manager's Centralized Management Shows An Easy Way Around Distributed Tripwire
(May 15, 2000)
Tripwire HQ Manager gives a big boost to the manageability of distributed Tripwire installations by providing a centralized management GUI, as well as scheduling and monitoring tools. Tripwire--a system-integrity-assessment tool from the company of the same name--was designed for Unix operating systems and has used a CLI (command-line interface) for installation, configuration and management since its inception. The CLI has made it relatively easy to use for Unix administrators, but more difficult for the CLI-challenged.

Citrix Comes To Solaris
(InternetWeek: May 22, 2000)
Citrix Systems is changing the way Unix users can access their hosts, as it did for Windows-based remote control software a few years ago. With
MetaFrame for Unix 1.0, any device capable of running a Citrix client can establish a session with a Solaris-based MetaFrame host, even if the device
normally couldn't act as an X Windows client.
Non-Stop Access
(InternetWeek: May 15, 2000)
SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters allows single-system-image clustering of up to six nodes on standard Intel-based servers, with functionality close
to proprietary Unix and support for all standard UnixWare applications.
Linux Support: Who Ya Gonna Call?

a number of steps to keep a Linux machine running strong in the face of
hostile intentions. Here are a few tips.
Ramping Up The Linux Learning Curve
(InformationWeek Online: March 6, 2000)
Two years ago, most IT folks would have been hard- pressed to find
a basic Linux operating-system course for the taking, and the
concept of certification wasn't even discussed in Linux user
groups. Today, Linux courseware is a growing field, and the first
classes of Linux certified system and network administrators are
taking home their diplomas.
