Hi folks,
I'm trying to solve a mystery, and at the same time, figure out good metrics
to determine our server speed, network speed, capacity, etc.
One database-driven page in particular loads *extremely* slowly (like,
minutes), from several computers in the client's office. I've NEVER had the

In classical security thought.. once someone has physical access to a box (router,
workstation, etc) they are assumed to "own" the box.. and in most cases this is quite
true.. so physical security, policy.. grr
ARRRGGHH.. must stop security babble! okok.. moving on..

Just a note about physical security.. keep in mind.. if your physical security plans
aren't realistic... you may end up creating a worse situation.. ie. lets take a door

Issac Asimov is a good man ... i always enjoyed reading his science and
his philosophy :)
but seriously, regarding the titles of books ... i don't understand how
anyone can really care .. if it's an excellent book, should it matter that
it's titled "linux for the computer illiterate?" or how abo

Actually, one of my favorite newbie books is Linux for Windows Addicts. Given
that a lot of folks come to linux from windows (as opposed to it being their
first introduction to computers at all), it's rather nice in that it gives a
lot of equivalents.such as "this thing I'm telling you about
