Recently, I had the
pleasure of speaking with
Anton Chuvakin, Director
of Product Management at
LogLogic. We had an
interesting discussion
about log management and
the open source project
he's involved in that
collects Windows event
logs. Here's an overview
of our chat.
Customers have high
expectations that their
software solutions have
been stress-tested
thoroughly in advance for
every conceivable
combination of events
that might occur in
production and that
vendors who put out buggy
products are exposed
quickly. 
For the University of
North Carolina at
Charlotte (UNCC), using
technology to further the
education of its 21,000
graduate and
undergraduate students is
nothing new. In 1983,
UNCC became the first
U.S. university to
electronically categorize
its library, and for t...
Over the last few years,
we've seen and heard some
pretty visceral reactions
from the Linux community
to Microsoft-funded
reports about Linux.
Rightfully so - some of
the 'facts' in
Microsoft's 'Get the
Facts' campaign have been
outright false and most
have been m...
As Linux continues to
make significant inroads
into the data center, I
think it's important to
look under the hood of a
leading Linux server
product and compare it to
its rival, Microsoft.
Whether I'm looking to
buy a car, a stereo, or
even a refrigerator, I've
al...
There's been some
interesting debate in the
Open Source community
regarding Open Source
applications that run
both on Linux and
Windows. One camp feels
most users select an
operating system based on
its available
applications. If the
applications people want
are...
Most organizations
provide their users with
the ability to print,
store, and access files
on network servers.
Accessing and saving
files to network drives
and printing to shared
network printers is
probably something
administrators don't
spend much time thinking

In Part 1 ('Why Are You
Waiting?', Vol. 2, issue
9), I discussed the
business and technical
considerations in
migrating Microsoft IIS
Web servers to Apache on
Linux. Now, I'll address
those who've decided that
migrating to Apache on
Linux is the way to go
for thei...
As with all big
conferences, LinuxWorld
Boston earlier this year
had a few broad themes
that you couldn't help be
exposed to just by
walking the floor. One
that caught me by
surprise was the
excitement around thin
client Linux. At first I
attributed it to a
comb...
Open source databases
running on Linux like
MySQL, Ingres r3,
PostgreSQL, and Firebird
have aroused a lot of
interest. Database
developers and corporate
users are heralding the
anticipated the release
of MySQL 5.0, which
includes enterprise-level
features such as ...
