Red Hat Announces Beefed-Up Enterprise Web Server

by Timothy Prickett Morgan


Red Hat this week announced that its Stronghold Enterprise Web Server, an implementation of the Apache open-source Web server. The Stronghold Enterprise server is available for both Linux and selected Unix servers.

Survey Says--Linux Smells Like Unix, Not Windows
by Alex Woodie

Or at least that's the conclusion one would logically draw from the results of a new survey by Evans Data.

ASNA to Deliver DataGate Database Tool for Windows, OS/400
by Dan Burger


Connecting Web and Windows applications to line-of-business databases such as DB2 is a prickly situation. Windows and OS/400 developers are not usually the best of friends, and because there hasn't been much demand for tools that make such connections, developers often find themselves in a predicament. But there's an object-based API on the horizon for developers building Web and Windows applications that rely on data from IBM iSeries and AS/400 DB2 databases, Microsoft SQL Server, or ASNA Acceler8DB databases on Windows NT/2K servers and Windows desktops.

As I See It: A Brief History of Employee/Manager Relationships
by Victor Rozek


Throughout history, the relationship between management and employees has been strained at best. Consider, for instance, the pharaoh as CEO. No unions, no OSHA, no disability, and lots of unpaid overtime. People built pyramids until they dropped and then were replaced by fresh workers. No severance, no death benefits. The lash settled all disputes, and a few welts on the back provided employee empowerment. In spite of such treatment, Egypt's first CEOs were considered gods, thus setting a dreadful precedent.
