Build It: When I'm 64
Our fearless editor-in-chief embarks on a voyage fraught with
danger, and comes out only a bit perturbed, but mostly thrilled
with his new homebrew 64-bit firebreather.

II. How To
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Build It: A Home Linux Server
A cheap recipe for a solid home server that can make a big
bit-bucket and a shared printer available to your home network.
We also show you how to repurpose an older system to take over
home server duties for even less.

III. Buying the Right Components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Socket 939 Motherboard Showdown
It wasn't easy, but we managed to find four motherboards built
for AMD's Socket 939 format using updated chipsets from VIA and
nVidia. Which one is the right base for your high-end Athlon 64
system?

Symantec Holes Open Up Firewalls to Attack
Symantec Corp. has warned of a string of security holes in its
Firewall/VPN Appliance and Gateway Security products, less than
a month after its last firewall security problems.
