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

Server implementation of the Linux operating system,

2000 Advanced Server.

Survey Says--Linux Smells Like Unix, Not Windows
by Alex Woodie
Linux might be open source, but that doesn't necessarily
mean that hackers are tempted to break it. Or at least
that's the conclusion one would logically draw from the
results of a new survey by Evans Data. Of the
400 Linux developers surveyed, 78 percent had never
experienced an unwanted intrusion on their Linux systems,
and 94 percent have operated virus-free.

SSA GT Acquires interBiz Units from CA
by Alex Woodie
As first reported in Midrange Stuff, SSA Global Technologies
has acquired the PRMS suite of OS/400 ERP software
from Computer
Associates, along with 12 other business applications
that were sold by CA's interBiz division. The
purchase marks the beginning of a new era for SSA GT, a
company that soared during the ERP boom of the early and
middle 1990s but suffered from poor platform and business
decisions before Y2K. Today, under new management, the
Chicago software house is rising again.

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.
