Synopsis We have recently built and delivered an e-commerce project which runs both on Linux and Windows, talking optionally to either Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. The software was built with PHP4 and is now deployed on a Windows NT server under IIS and SQL server. It runs equally happily (and somewhat faster) on Linux and MySQL. We thought there might be some people who would like to know a little about how it was done.

For several years I\'ve wanted to assemble my own PC. Every time I decided to replace my computer, I would say that maybe this time I will get around to building my own. This resolution lasted about as long as it took for me to go to Dell and price its latest, comparing that to the amount of free time I had, which is very little.

It came as a very pleasant surprise last week to hear that Adobe has released a version of its SVG browser plug-in for Linux and Solaris. Being an habitual Linux user, I had resigned myself to not being able to see SVG on the Web until the Mozilla project had progressed further with its implementation of the W3C\'s vector graphics standard, so news of the plug-in was welcome indeed.

Your editor spoke at a Linux User Group on Tuesday night, and was treated to a heartwarming story about an ex-mainframe guy, laid off last year, who started his own company and now sells J2EE solutions to small businesses. (It was also nice to hear that he\'d realized, on his own, that PostgreSQL fit his needs far better than Access.) To everyone involved in projects like Cactus, Ant, jUnit, Tomcat, and XDoclet (the projects he mentioned specifically), keep up the good work! You\'re making people\'s lives easier and you\'re creating new markets.

Beyond all the battles between Linux and Microsoft on the desktop, Linux has already made its bones in business. IBM has invested over US$1 billion in Linux technologies, while Sun, Compaq, and HP have all made Linux a key part of their business strategies.One of the hottest areas of computing that Linux plays in has come to be called \"grid computing.\" We used to call this variously \"supercomputing,\" \"high-performance computing,\" \"distributed computing\" and \"peer-to-peer networking (P2P) .\"

Well-known Certificate Authorities (such as Thawte and VeriSign) exist to serve as authoritative, trusted third-parties for authentication. They are in the business of signing SSL certificates that are used on sites that deal with sensitive information (like account numbers or passwords). If a site\'s SSL certificate is signed by a trusted authority, then presumably it is possible to verify the identity of a server supplying that certificate\'s credentials. In order to receive a certificate "blessed" by a well-known CA, you have to prove to them beyond a shadow of doubt that not only are you who you claim to be, but that you have the right to use the certificate in the way you intend to.

This article will explain how it is possible to connect and query an MS SQL server (running under a Windows operating system) from php installed on a unix box. The same problem, in the case of php installed under Windows is not covered here because it is well explained in php FAQ; sadly I cannot say the same thing for the unix case. In fact, there is a multitude of incorrect or outdated sources of information which will cause new people trying to solve this problem to drop it after some bad tries. This article can also be of help to people who don't want to use php as a client.

Recent advances in Linux's threading implementation are expected to continue to ease migration from other Unix-like operating systems. These advancements have arrived with intense activity on two fronts. First, thread-handling improvements have greatly enhanced the kernel's scalability even to thousands of threads. Second, there are now two fresh, competing implementations of the POSIX pthreads standard (NGPT and NPTL) set to replace the aging LinuxThreads library.

This article describes my experiences installing and configuring a sound system for an HP Omnibook 4150. I used the standard-issue kernel modules the commercial OSS/Linux package, and the ALSA drivers. I must stress that there is no typical configuration for sound on Linux laptops, and you must be prepared to do some research to find the necessary information about your machine's particular audio chipset and its capabilities.
