Getting past convergence

s contributing editor Jeff Evans
points out i n one of t his
L
onth 's cover story artides,
convergence is just a word. Like the
term multimedia. it's a convenient
way to describe what happens when
diverse media forms and forces come
together.
It is now redundant to say multis
s media computer because allnew personal computers have good graphics.
sound, and a CD drive or other optical player aU of the once-new innovations that the word
multimedia pointed to. Likewise, the hyphenated names
describing products of digital convergence will eventually
revert to their simpler forms.
A phone will soon be once again just a phone, not a digital,

digital convergence. The possibilities created when aff cornmunication forms are reduced to zeros and ones is what is
really influencing how we work and play. And where is the personal computer in aff ibis?

Ifthe end productofconvergence is

information accessratherthan computat
ionalprocessing,why do you
alwayshaveto use aninformation
processing device, i.e. a PC?The
answer is you don't.

reviewed a product affod the Digital Wallet. Like the Nomad

Jukebox, it is a battery-powered hard drive, but its target users
are digital photographers who can use it to download images
from a memory card.These are examples of a trend of developers taking tbe most appropriate subsystems of the personal
computer in this case, storage and creating new niche
products that replace the full PC itself.
But in both ases, the personal computer is still necessary at
some point. A computer is still the most efficient way to load
the Jukebox with aff those tunes, and the Wallet's images will
eventually have to be downloaded to a computer for inspection aud editing.
Ihave heard anecdotes ofpeople buying DV iMacs solely on
the strength of that computer's digital-video capabiTities.
These iMacs come with FireWire ports, as do most DV camcorders now, so moving video footage to a computer for editing is almost as simple as moving any other kind of data from
a storage device to a computer.
And the iMac's iMovie video-editing software makes it
equally easy to organize the shots into a deent home movie.
As convergence runs its course, there will always be a need
for some kind of reiativdy powerful computer as the processor/server, connecting and communicating with a variety of
devices,like Mp3 jukeboxes and camcorders.On the internet,
that's the basic model public or publidy accessible servers
delivering content as wdl as processing.
Within a private sphere, the personal computer is already
taking on the role of personal server. And it will succeed there,
largely because of its chameleon nature today soundstage,
tomorrow movie studio, and the next day digital darkroomwhicb is what made it a success in the ffrst place.

August marks the 20th anniversary of tbe introduction of

the IBM PC, a seminal event for personal computing as we
know it today. But there's no denying that the personal computer industry is in a severe slump right now, and there's a lot
of unertainty about what it will look like six or 12 months
from now.
Price competition makes it a very good time to buy a new
computer right now, but in the longer term, there will be a
shakeout, with fewer manufacturers looking for bigger market
shares. And there's the ongoing discussion of the fate of the
personal computer itself.
Convergence plays a central role in that discussionif the
end product of convergence is information access rather than
computational processing, why do you always have to use an
information processing device, i.e. a PC? The answer is you
don' t, and it seems inevitable that the sheer nmnber of access
and presentation devices plugging into the data in&astrucmre
Have a great summer
will soon outnumber tbe processing and calculating devices.

email-enabled, Web-ready, WAP-compliant, tri-mode,

Bluetooth, 2.5G, SMS device.
With music, we' re there already. Audio CDs went through a
brief period of being referred to as digital music, but few people refer to their tunes as a digital audio collection they' re
just CDs. Likewise, the digital nature of newer formats isn' t
highlighted, they are simply MP3s or RealAudio dips. The
only time that the analogue-digital distinction comes up is to
point out that something is not digital, for munple a colltor
bragging about a rare vinyl album.
For maybe another year, digital photography will be the
buzz, then it will simply become photography again.
According to a recent Reuters artide, the Japan Camera
Industry Association says tbe number offflm mneras shipped
by Japanese camera manufacturers fell 6.4 percent last year,
and is expected to drop 7.3 percent this year. Meanwhile, sales
of digital cameras doubled last year, and will jump by as much
as 30 percent this year.
In terms of units shipped, the numbers stiB favour fflm
cameras 31.7 uugion shipped versus 11 nulhon dtgttaI camerasshipped lastyearby Japanese camera makers,acording to
the Reuters report. But Boston-based Infotrends Research
Group has predicted that by 2002, the number of digital cameras sold will surpass the number of film cameras sold.
With movie making equipment, we are living through a
similar transition, where digital video camcorders are now
roughlythe same price as premium analogue camcorders.
But moving fmm analogue to digital is only the ffrst part of

RPAPER 8C EDITRTX AUGUSTXIDI

Rearms sound oil

equipment. We wondered if other readersfelt

the same and posed the question.
Last month we received some commenir,
and even more came in thismonth.
Meanwhi/e. produrrs ediror Sean Carruthers
arrertded a product brie/ing by hlird driie
maker Seagaie,aad was told that one of
Seagate'i dere/opmeat priorities wai to reduce
ihe noise levelsof its hard drives. Coincidence?

on nohp compulem
In the june issue, we
printed a letter from
Murray Peterson, a
reader who was comp/a/wing nhoat r h e

high noise /eve/sof persona/ computers and

I a!pea with the letter by Murray Peterson re.

The importance of noise measurements.
There are standard pmcedures for this.
Some basic modifications for noise reduction are straightforward: radial fans and de-

coupled disk drive mountings. A company

doing this is at http//wwwacouo.de/home.htm.
Memories: The Atari I 040 was also a cornputer without a fan, wonderfully quiet (as

ATALE OFTWO WEB

long as no disk I/O was happening).

Friedemann Brauer
I full-heartedly agree with Murray Peterson
in his letter regarding the noise level of computers. I would gladly pay a significant premium or sacrifice overag performance to
have a silent computer.
Murray, you are not alone! Let's hope that
your letter is the beginning of a revolution!
Doug Hartweg
Thanks for the useful publication.
I' ve just replaced a noisy hard drive and
the new one is marginaUy better. There were
no available specs on noise generation to

guidemy choice fora new one.

Personally, a benefit of my home office is
the tranquility, which alfords me the opport unity t o b e m ore productive than i n
bustling, noisy clients' oifices.
Now that hard drive capacity and speed
are more than ample for the most commonly used apps today, perhaps it is timely that
new measures of performance such as noise
levels be introduced. Count me in!
Richard Pootmans
To aB those who complain about noisy computers. I would suggest that you look at the
M ac G4 Cube.
This machine has no fan,and
is completely silent.

Gordon Nunchak

hecodfng Ihe tech alphabet soup

First I would like to thank TheComputer
Paper for a being great resource and informative paper that we receive every month. I

personally enjoy it very much.

There is, however, one thing that I would

suggest that would help me when reading

artides, especially reviews of new products.
When you use the abbreviations of techni-

cal terms,(for example, DDR SD in DDR,

' '

l I

' '

SDRAM), I am wondering if it would be too

much to ask to indude a glossary page of ag

Saner still, if the magazine bas aWebsite,
you could post aglossary there,for the read-

the GSNAssodation.
The assaciauon has unveiled a set of guidelines for GPi5 that it is seeking for handset vendorsand otherinterested partiesto adopt.
John Hofhaan, the association's seniordirector ef technology evolution, said the guidelines

develop.
WhereWAP has its own set of standanis,

GP15 can be used in a wide range of mobile

Internet devices. What the guidelines will do is
to ensure compatibility between these devices
and the services they access," he said.

(ontraw to some media reports, Hoffman said

that the N-Services initiative is eat competing
with WAP, but is complementary.
"WAP has its place in the market, but the
amvalofGP15 means that there is a need fora
new set of standards. N-Services aims to fulfill
that need, he said.

in short, spending more time on maintenance

than on adding new content and features. If
you keep having to add new pages to a site
index "by hand," spend time doing endless
search-and-replace mutines, and feel like Tou
are constantly "rc-invcnting the wheel," it is
time to consider moving your site to a
dynamically generated framework
There are a lot of advantages in moving

from what's known as a "static" Web page

framework to that of dynamic Web site creatioa. Ultimately, it will reduce the amount
of time you currently spend doing basic
maintenance by allowing you to effectively
reuse your Web code. It also leverages the
pmcessing power of your Web senrer, making
it do more than dchvcr simple pages to viewers upon request. It makes it possible to bet-

ter manage the content dcBvcred on your

Web pages. With few ezmptions, profession-

al Web development imolves dynamic Web

page designand creation, making it relatively easy to do such things as global updates,

add new functions, and provide for a more

interactive environment with users. Once
you have a basic understanding of what has
bmn called "object-oriented Web page publishing," you will never look back at the world
of static Web sites.
eginning this month, we will look at how

you can create an effective server-based,

of the reasons for choosing PHP is that it is

Before you can use PHP. you either need to
subscribe to an Internet service pmvider

your own Web server.You can find a list of

accounts ac Iwpv/hms.pbp.sei/iesich phps. If you
want to run PHP to yow own system, Erst
ensurethat you have a Web serverinstalled.

buyers.Rather, they'reexperienced computer

users looking for a replaement PC.
IBM now seems much more eager to seU
its PC technology and components (RAM,
hard drives, screens, and microchips) and its
services to competitors, such as Dell, than it
is to rely on sales of IBM PCs for the majority of itl profits.
IBM has ridden the PC wave that it had
such a role in creating, and has in some sense
come full cirde, back to the big picture of

enterprise computing solutions. IBM has a

great deal to bepmud of in its creation of the
IBM PC, but it still seems almost embar-

rassedby the PC: embarrassedfor its grudging support for the first IBM PC in the Owly

days, for lening Gatesget awaywith the "deal

of the century," for its blunders with
MicroChannel and OS/2, and for becoming
just one of many players (though one of the

top three) in today's PCmarket.

In a list of IBM's pmudest achievements
on its corporate Web site, the IBM PC is curi-

ouslyabsent.Perhapsit'sbecauseso much of
the underlying technology of the 1941
machine was borrowed or bought, rather
than created in-house.
But that was the genius of the little team

that birthed the PC: they truly made acomputer for the world, and a computer that the

world then made,everywhere.

The recording suri'sce on Seagate's new

drive can hold more information per square
inch than ever before 52.6 gigsbits per
square inch. This works out to a capsdty of
20 GB on each side of a recording phtter. On
a drive with two phtters, that means a total
of 80 GB of storage stare, which is where the
U Series line currently tops out.
With more than 51 million units sobl, the

U Series isone of the most popular driveson

The sixth-geaeration U Series imseases

the performance, too, with an internal transferrate of 50.5 Maps, a larger 2 MB cache,

and a 65 seamd time-to-ready rating (incbing us ever doser to the instant-on PC). The
dlives use the 100MBps Ultra ATAIL00
external interface.

One specigcation Seagate is suzssing with
the new U Saies drive is acoustics.The new
drives are rated at 27 delibels in idle mode,

and just slighdy more whse sednng data,

which ptacm the drive's noise levd at just
slightly abovethe dueshold sir human hearing. Of course, thmwmg the drive into a PC
case's metal bradfet will cause the nnise level
to go up, and Seagxte is working in concert
with manutacturels to bring the overag noise

level dowa.
Noise reduction becomes spec(agy
important in consumer dectronics devices,

drives. One example (although it hasn't quite
dxploded into the market yet) is the personal
video refnrder (PVR). This device bas the

anypeople probably wouldn't consider putting a laser print-

er into their home or home otrtce. Why not? Generally, the

top three reasons are cost, cost, and cost.
Although laser printers have a reputation for being pricey and,

tbr gmso Townsend

therefore, suitable only for large office envimnmentsthey are not as

dobePhotoshop is generally held up

expensive as you may have been led to believe. Of course, it's easy to

as the pinnade of image-editing software, and not without reason: it packs

in almost every conceivable feature for
manipulating raster images, it imports and
exports most file formats, and supports plug-

spend as much as you'd care to on higher-end laser printers, which

ager much better speedand other performance and convenience features, but entry-level laser printers can output several pages per minute
and cost little more than high-quality inkjet printers.

For someone who needs high-volume printing, the higher initial

cost of a laser printer will certainly be oifset by lower printing costs.
With a $50 inkjet cartridge, you'd be lucky to print much more than
100 sheets at highest quality reproduction.
Contrast this with a $100 toner cartridge for a laser printer, which

can yield 2,000 ormore pages.Added up over the course ofa year of
operation, you may End the inkjet costs far more just in ink costs, even
if the intial hardware cost was cheaper. Obviously, the more you print,
the more the equation tips in the favour of laser.
Further, while inkjet printers can olfer a splash of colour on your

typical businesspage, tbe speed of inkjets just isn't up to that of laser

printers. Laser printers designed for a heavy-duty businessenvironment can routinely output 30 pages or more every minute, which is

ins for aa kinds of expanded functionality.

at different points along the surface of a charged drum. When the laser
hits the drum, it "erases" the charge on the drum, which then attracts
toner sitting in a neighboring compartment. The toner is roBed
around to the paper, at which point it's Bxed in place by a fuser unitessentially a giant heater that bonds it to the paper.
While this is happening, a scraper on the opposite side of the drum
unit takes the excess ink off of the drum, the drum is recharged, 2nd

the whole processbegins again.

Tbe big downside of this method of printing is the mechanical mir-

essential: you don't want to be sitting around as inkjet pages crawl out

ror assembly, which has to refocusrepeatedly over the entire width of

of the printer, let alone waiting for the ink itself to dry before you can

the drum unit. This can lead to blurry output around the edges if
everything is not aligned properly. Because it's also a moving part. it
can result in reliability problems over the life of the printer.
One technology that is always loosely considered part of the laser
printer field is LED (light-emitting diode) printing. Instead of a laser

start handling the pages.

What is toser' pstauag aad haw does it work?

The term "laser" printing typically refers to the process of laser electrophotography, which is technologically similar to what goes on
inside a standard photocopier.
Essentially, a laser beam is shot at a moving mirror, which is aimed

and mirror assembly, an LED printer uses a long array of small LED
elements that stretch across the entire drum. With this setup, only the

removes words like "the" and "and," which

can hang a system or bring up extraneous

bits of information, then begins to search
the databases to find concepts that closely
match the user's request.
"Once a query isgenerated and the
results collected. those results can be presented in several ways," Choi adds. "One
such way is that the results can be merged
and that would give a user aggregated information that can be ranked by relevance."
A key feature of the Semantix solution is
that users or a system administrator can
limit the number of databases that are

accessed. A sales person, for example, may

only be able to query sales and product
information databases. The chief execmtive,
on the other hand, would have access to
financial and inventory databases. Targeting
spedfic databases in this way can improve
the accuracy and speed of a search.

mobility group, said in a press statement that
end-user senrices are abaady being developed
by two wireless partners, Talafonica Movilas aad
Vodafoae.He said both camers plan to pilottest mobile intraaat sawices to their customers
starling later in the summer.

Many more wireless camera, including BT

Cegnet,Cingular, Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile
operation, andSprint KS. are also working with
Micr
osofton thetechnology,ha added.

For small companies, the Semantix solution

includesan indexing and fifi
ng system for
organizing the information in their networ)c
The system can also access remote databaws
via the Internet, and because its query method
is language-based, it can support multiple languages (currently, English, French, German,
Italian, and Dutch, with p l ans for other
European and Asian languages).

Sorting sm
all
Replying to customer email queries in a
timely way is another problem common to
large and small firms. The difference is that

alargecompany can afford to hiresomeone

to read and reply to the hundreds of messages it receives in a day. In a smaller organization,human resources are more scarce,
which means many email queries can go
unanswered.
In meeting this need, SER Solutions Inc.
(hzp://wwsetsoltatattscom), which is also based
in Herndon, Virg., has released its SERiMail
Microsoft representative, Ed Wu, said that one
of the issues affecting mobile inttanet users is
the security of the wireless connection.
"There is a fairly high level of security in the
MI-2001 technology, but we are aware of the
need to protect against 'man in the middle'
attacks," he said, referring to the authentication

issue.
Because of this, he said, Microsoft is looking
attwo security extensions to the MI-2001 serv-

ersoftware forthefuture thatwiU sea end-toend support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and
Wireless Tmnsport Layer Security (WTLS) fully

email management and response solution.

SERiMail is built on the SERbrainware
engine, a modified neural-network system
that, according to Mike Ball, vice-president
of marketing with SER Solutions, reads and
understands like a human and can act on
incoming information."What SERiMail does
is use that engine to read an incoming email
message in freeform structure, understanding not only thc content but the context of
the email, and then returns an intelligent
reply back to the requester."
A key feature of SERiMail is that it the
automatically learns from experience, assessing the kind of responses it gives in order to
improve. Ball says that SERiMail agows a
company to get a handle on large amounts of
email and devise preferred responses to types
of queries. As well. if there isn't a suitable
automated response to a query, that message
can be routed to the employee who has the
relevant information to generate a reply.

TheSERbrainware engineisalsoa composupportedas native functions.

'These are future features that you will saa in

latereditions ofMI-2001," ha said,adding that
these versions may be available as early as the
ead ofthe year to company users.
"Securi
ty is the number one issue that users
talkabout when we discuss with major customers about the extension of their intranet
into a mobile phone environment he said.

The problem with including support for SSL

and WTLSwithin the server software, however, is
that existing generations of mobile Internet
users have WAP-equipped (wiralass application

protocol-equipped)handsets that lack support

forthese security features.
Because of this, Wu said Microsoft is also
looking at moving some of the WAP security
functi
ons into the serverenvironment,and away

from the mobile phone.

"Usingthis approach wiU mean that users of
older WAP handsets are still supported by the
sacum envir
onment," he said. adding that both

olderand new WAP handsets can then gain

accessto the best levels of mobile intmnet
security available.

neet of SERdistiger, which can classify and

extract date from structured and unstructured documents. Unstructured documents
,can include everything I'rom reports and
memos, to leners, handwritten doctunents,
and magazines. According to SER Solutions,
90 percent of the world's data lies in such
unstructured documents its potential
usefulness untapped. SER Solutions also
suggeststhat the average company can produce 400 pages of new information a day,
which is nearly useless if the company has
no method of cataloguing its content.
Hylton says that small companies can' t
afford to wait to see it'knowledge management will be use('ul for their enterprise.
"SmaUer-sized companies should adopt
thepoliciesand practicesofthe larger,more
prosperous companies," she writes in her
report. "They should understand that they
need knowledge management just as much
as the larger companies do, and they need it
now, not in the distant future." CI

Maximum Security will keep you awake at night

My liam VSRSMS

tor, reading Maximum Securi/y, Third

Edition won't hdp you sleep at night. In
detailing the security flaws in most popular
computer platforms and the kinds of tools
hackers and crackers can use to get at them,
it is currently one of the better references

available.
Maximum Security outlines a step-by-step
process for understanding and combating
various security threats. It begins with a wellorganized section on testing and discovering
security holes that can exist on an enterprise
network. Instead of overwhelming readers
with information. it offers a useful summary
that points to more detailed chapters on speci6c security threats, platform issues, and
online resources.
One of the best sections is Hacking 101,

sheet with an )P address appeared. Once we
had an (P address,the software drivers were
installed onto a workstation. The setup pro-

gram found the 2135 instantly. The drivers

installed quiddy and easily.
There are a couple of lessonsto be learned

from thissetup experience. First, if you're not

familiar with networking, especiagy cables

and jacks,addressessnd protocols,then PAy

extra and have a Xemx technician set up yow

Phaser 2135. However. if you've set up printers and are famlTlar with networking, even a

small Windows 98 peer network you can

probably get the Phaser 2135N working.

While mast printers accept legal- and letter-size sheets, the Xerm 2135 can accommo-

date 12x18 inch, oversize tabloid paper. The

600x1.200 dpi single-pass network colour
printer will also output on transparencies,

cards, )Bbe)s, and glossypaper. Each modd

One point to remember while trying to get

the printer to behave: network printers, especially LEDs and lasers, sometimes require
power cyding (turning the printer olf, waiting a minute, then turning it on) a few times.

When stating printing speeds,manufacturers
typically calculate using aSve percent coverage of tbe page. Xerox daims output speeds
of 21 pagesper nunute (ppm ) colow and 26

Anyone who hss set up a monochrome
laser prmter should be able to set up the
Phaser, with a couple of caveats noted be)ow.
The printer uses four separate toner cartridgtxo which are easily inserted when the
printer hd is opened. Once the toner car-

tridges were installed, we attached the network and power cables. then switched the

wig still be tbe defauh startup OS. This derision is good for two reasons: it shoukl stimu/ate hardware sales, as buyers won't have to
purchase OS X separately later, and it will
grow the installed base to encourage developers to get busy on porting their legacy
apps. About 300,000 users purchased OSX in
the two weeks after its release. Apple estimates that by the end of 2001. it will have the
largest installed base of any Unix vendor.

unnyvale, Calif.-based company now
has four new processors to show.
The latest product in the desktop line is
the 1.4 GHz Athlon, which uses the same
core technology as tbe 1.33 GHz version of
the pmcessor. This new processor works on a
266 MHz front-side bus, and requires a DDR
SDRAM-compatible motherboard.
A new version of the Duron is now out, at
950 MHz. Again. the processor is built on the
same technology asthe900 MHz Dumn. and

transistors using a 45-nanometer process
(equivalent to 0.045 microns, which is onetbird the size of today's cutting-edge 0.13micron fabrication). The 45-nanometer
chips are expected to run at less than 1 Volt,
at up to 20 GHz, and could be available by
2007.

speed up computation by pmcessing multi-

through those commands.
By doing this with a scrim of popular
applications, SYSmark 2000 Shies a good idea
of the strengths and weaknesses of a particular system canggumtion.
We recently obtained a copy of the new

Now, instead of running through applications one at a time, SYSmark opens up a
number of similar aad complementary
applications at the same time, to better simulate how people work (in other words, if we

To take advantage of the pmcessor, the

computers will indude a 64-bit operating
system, such was Windows Advanced Server

Tbe most interesting thing we noted when

making tbe switch kom SYSmark 2000 to
SYSmark 2001 is the shift in the performance
l evels of t h e A t hlon an d Pentium 4 .
Previously, the Athlon had opened up a Edrly wide lead over the Peatium 4 processor.
Testing the new 1.4 GHz Athlon with
SYSmark 2000 shows that it still maintains a
lead over the Pentium 4. However. switching
both pmcessors over to SYSmark 2001 moves
the overall advantage to t h e 1.7 GHz
Pentium 4, though the Athlon still leads in

Lastly, the company has also intmduced

depends in part on what you use Linux for.

You need to weigh the inevitable risk and
effort of an upyade against the benefits of
upgrading. Let'sseehow the options play out.

Sgarlag Pat
One valid option is to donothing. Just asyou
can still rua Windows 95 on your home
workstation, you can run any vernon of
Linux you choose. The reasom for stichng
with a rdease, swh as Rel Hat 62, may be
related to stability.

If your server is stable, and in pmduction,

you intmduce risk byupyading, ~
if
you haveheavily customized your systea and
your kerneLChanas are you're not running a
multiple CPU box anyway, so the 2.4 kernel
may not buy youmuck
ht the vey least, an upgrade is going to
cost you time. You can be certain that some
parts of your existing systemwill require rework, even if it's only anadjustment to a conSguration Sk.
Samba, for instance, basmcorporated new
features. When you upgradeyour systen and
want tousethe newnatures, you neel to speed
some time tahng the new defirult mnfiguration

Sle andadjusting it in accordance with the conSguration Sle Som your ealier release of
Samba. With luck everything will work correctly the fiaa time you duow the swltds If aot,
you wig havesome ~
ting time intmduced into your schedule.

The same applies to other services.

Sendmail has been made more secure. You
need to reconfigure it before you use it. Ditto

for telnet, ftp, and ssh. The changesare good

changes &om a security point of view, but

they're nottransparent changes.There'saddi-

ed 7.0, preferring to stick with the rock-solid

tionalwork needed before your system is

ready to goagain.

62 until Red Hat had a better release availdds With 7.1, Red Hat put additional dfort
into beta testing and the p ~
revi e ws

for this reason, a may bebetter to keep a Red

Hat 62 Web server in pmduction, as is, adding

only security Ses until such ime asyou bugd

a replacemeat server onnew ~
add ing
the 7X swiss at that time. There is no mm-

pdlingmson tn upyade a busy pmdwtion

serverthatis ~
wd l and
rebably.
The downside of staying put is that the
kadmg edge of the Linus industry begins to
recede in the distance, kaving you behind.
Support materials, such as books, magazine
artides, and Wcbsite support tend to follow
what's cunent. Within a surprisingly short
period of time it beomescballeny'ng to Snd
support for oMer versions of software.
You can hedge agamst obsoksceace by
keeping cetain kcy individual componcats,
such as Apache, gamba, Seadmak and Bind
up to date. Lessrisk to your pmduction server, but youstill obtain the beacfits of Sw latest
software. Aslong asyou keep upwith all security Exes,staying put is a highly viable option.
ggtadng gnetnnrd
At a workstarion level. and pecially if you
own a laptop, the prospect of upgradmg to
new releases is more appealing. Hew oftea

Red Hat site reveals a larger than normal

Given that 62, as stable as it is, is loohng a bit

Despite the court involved, I enjoy upgrades.
As with any knowledge, I forget things I once

knew if I don't get "hands on" every so often.

Doing an upgrade forces me to reexamine
each of my services and refresh myself on
how they work
There are also new things to learn. For
instance,Red Hat 7.1 has a more secure way
of installing services such as ssb, telnet and

ftp. As you learn the new way of activating

these services. you begin to absorb the new
security modeL
Linux is hn. It's fun to learn and it's fun to
rdearn. A successful upgrade is really a

twofold accomplishment: upgrading your

system and upgrading your Linux skill set. 0
