Dell Computer is looking to put the squeeze on handheld makers with the introduction this month of two of its own handhelds.
I’m not sure if this is the best move for Dell considering the current slump in PDA sales, but they are a force to be reckoned with. I wonder what they have come up with.
Pascale Soleil on the .Mac killer service/app. As soon as I read the title, I thought: iBlog. It’s mentioned further down in the post.
Think about it: it’s a natural. Everyone wants a blog. Everyone wants nice spiffy templates designed by some of the best in the business. Everyone wants to have an excuse to use all those megabytes of webserver space.

Michael @ LibraryPlanet is back online with Red Hat 8 on a Microtel PC:
I am posting once again from my Linux computer: only this time running Red Hat 8. Major easy install that just involved swapping 2 CD’s and clicking next a bunch of times. Now, for the first time ever, I have Linux running permanently on a computer powerful enough to actually serve as a viable learning environment (and what I hope, eventually, is a viable web-hosting environment down the road).
I’m glad that I was able to take knowledge from my useless bin of information and let him know that Red Hat 8 and Via’s C3 play nice together.
