The first is, of course, Microsoft's midrange Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The second target is Unix customers who want to use Linux (which runs on cheaper iron) but do not want to deal with weekly patches to the OS or with the persistent scalability limitations of Linux 2.4. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ADDITIONAL NEWS HEADLINES All headlines above and below are available on our news page >> Full Stories: http://search400.techtarget.com/news/0,289141,sid3,00.html -- ANOTHER ATTACK HARRIES CA (Source: iSeries Network) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ACHIEVING A SUCCESSFUL V5R1 INSTALL | Advice: Search400 Dear Ask the Expert, We are preparing to install V5R1 on our Model 6XX.

As if Mike Piazza himself were blocking the home page, many fans couldn't access the site's live online broadcasts. MLB.com officials say an epidemic of baseball fever prompted a surge of traffic, which essentially brought the site to its knees. Too many hits and too many errors, basically. Red Sox fans will love this -- MLB.com says most of the visitors were Yankees fans! They were logging on in droves because many of them can't watch their prized pinstripers on TV thanks to a contract dispute.
