Racism, hate, and militancy sites have tripled in number over
the past year on the Web and within corners of social-networking
sites like Facebook and YouTube. Also, last week VMware had to
reassure industry observers that it will not ban competition
from the VMworld conference, after bloggers took the company to
task on a policy change. (2:30)
Ubuntu Server: Lean, mean, cloud-making machine
http://www.networkworld.com/nldailynewspm197110
Ubuntu Server is a fast, free, no-frills Linux distribution that
fills a niche between utilitarian Debian and the GUI-driven and,
some would argue, over-featured Novell SUSE and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
Ubuntu Desktop: Plenty of sizzle, not much steak
http://www.networkworld.com/nldailynewspm197111
Ubuntu 9.0.4 Desktop, nicknamed Jaunty Jackalope, is likely to
continue the Mac-like cult following for Canonical's
Debian-based Linux distribution. But there's not a lot new here.

As wired and wireless devices of all kinds are IP-enabled, HP
ProCurve introduces a single-room access devices that lets both

At the recent Interop conference, Jim moderated a panel that had
the same name as this newsletter. We will use this newsletter to
discuss what kind of mid-life crisis, if any, that the panelists
thought that that routing was undergoing.
Too Many IOS Versions, Something's Gotta Give Soon
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/42294
Morris: Back when I worked in network operations at AT&T, I was
(strangely) proud that I knew all the different versions,
feature sets, and varieties of Cisco IOS. It was one of the
things I could use quickly when dealing with bugs and outages.
However, now, all the different versions of IOS are making me
sick. Let's take a short stroll down IOS lane... Best I can tell
there are nine varieties of IOS.
Blog posts pre-release review of Palm Pre
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/42301
The Boy Genius Report, a blog focusing on mobile devices, has
published a hands-on review of the Palm Pre smartphone, or at
least of a model available prior to its formal release this
Saturday June 6. In general, the Boy Genius really likes the the
Pre's touch screen, its operating system, and the phone's size.
He kind of likes the Web browser. But the keyboard is a
disappointment, and the phone "feels" cheaply built, but he
admits that may be because it's so light to hold and the
irrational conviction is that "heavier" means "higher quality."
Air Force Disputes Talk of GPS Failure
http://www.networkworld.com/nldailynewspm197114
The Air Force disputes warnings from the General Accountability
Office that GPS service could be interrupted, though Air Force
officers admit that there is some risk of degraded performance
if failing satellites aren't replaced in a timely way.
Time for Interoperability among WAN Optimization Vendors
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/42297
Here's the problem. A user behind a Riverbed Steelhead can't
communicate with a server behind a Cisco WAAS. This is nuts!
The Application Delivery System (ADS--aka WAN optimization)
market is mature enough to fix this. The time has come to
standardize how ADS technology works so enterprises can build
multivendor solutions. We have done this with every other
network technology. Why should ADS technology be different?
Why are some hackers so successful? It's all in their heads
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/42272
Cisco Subnet's Jamey Heary was featured in an online interview
published today by former Cisco Subnet founder Linda Leung.
Heary has a theory on why and how hackers succeed. They are
masters of psychology, not just technology.
