Linux distribution migration: Planning for efficiency
,----[ Quote ]
| Migrating Linux is mostly about migrating
| services. To do this properly, there are
| two approaches. You can find out yourself
| what needs to be done, or you can use
| tools that analyze this for you. Apart
| from the services involved, migrating
| Linux is also about smoothly transitioning
| from one environment to another
| environment, without involving double work
| for your IT environment. If you have the
| appropriate system management tools in
| place, they can be very helpful. Finally,
| depending on the Linux distributions that
| you were using and that you are going to
| use, these might be a financial chapter as
| well. Check this with the new vendor of
| your choice. This vendor is going to earn
| your money and may be more than willing to
| help.

When It Comes to Security, Openness Isn't Always a Virtue - Rebuttals
,----[ Quote ]
| So what does it all mean? The transparency
| of free and open source software is
| increasingly recognized as an important
| benefit -- even by experts studying
| software security, and even when they
| uncover occasional vulnerabilities.
|
| The "security through obscurity" argument
| may still be frequently uttered by those
| on the pro-proprietary side, but -- at
| least, based on this debate -- it lacks
| substance. Indeed, given the financial
| stakes for those on the proprietary side,
| one could easily make the case that a
| certain amount of FUD is to be expected.
|
| The growing ranks of FOSS proponents,
| then, should be heartened. When it comes
| to security, free and open source software
| has been held up, scrutinized, and
| declared superior.

Latest Microsoft Patch Wreaks Havoc on Sharepoint
,----[ Quote ]
| snydeq writes "Microsoft's latest Black
| Tuesday SharePoint patch is causing Windows
| SharePoint Servers to lock up, according to
| a report from InfoWorld. There does not
| appear to be a single solution to the
| problem, which Microsoft has yet to
| officially acknowledge. Compounding the
| problem is a bug that prevents patch KB
| 983444 from being uninstalled. 'Patching
| gurus recommend that anyone who's
| encountered this problem call Microsoft
| support and file a problem report.
| Immediately. Until the level of clamor
| reaches a critical point, Microsoft may not
| have sufficient impetus to fix the patch.'"
