IE 6 Switches to Standards
Webmonkey: IE 6 Switches to Standards. Jeffrey Veen. The new version is essentially two browsers: one that faithfully does things the old way, bugs and all, and one that follows Netscape’s lead and gets the standards right. As a result, you get to decide which way your page should be displayed. [Tomalak’s Realm]
what kind of stuff does KRUD give the user over Red Hat?
Evil3d.net: reviews KRUD “So what kind of stuff does KRUD give the user over Red Hat? First and foremost is security. Kevin got tired of having to download so many security updates after a standard Red Hat installation. The next machine over would need the same updates, and so on and so forth. To fix this, Kevin decided to download the updates once and put them into the installation routine. Great amounts of time were saved using this method. So much so, other people liked the idea and KRUD was born. Therefore, if a security patch becomes available for any KRUD package, it will almost certainly be included on the next month’s edition.” I started subscribing this year, and I’m really impressed. Discs arrive around the middle of the month. Everything works. [Zope Newbie News]
