Subject: Xtops.DE - 3 Years Linux on the Go
Date: 2 May 2003 12:00:02 GMT
On May 1st Xtops.DE celebrated its third anniversary. Since 2000 Xtops.DE
offers laptops and PDAs with pre-installed Linux. Now the company is one
of the seniors in this small market. At the time of the founding it was
impossible to deliver pure Linux laptops. In connection with ASUS
it is no possible to offer laptops without Microsoft tax
http://xtops.de/xtops_asus.html for German students there is
even a special offer from Fujitsu-Siemens Computer
http://xtops.de/aktion.html . All laptops can be partitioned
on customers request and any Linux or BSD distribution of choice can
be installed. International keyboards are also available. Xtops.DE
sponsors some community projects http://xtops.de/xtops_sponsoring.html

Subject: TuxMobil - article about excessive Linux domain grabbing
Date: 2 May 2003 12:05:01 GMT
Hello,
as a result of the trademark charge by the trademark holder
to Asterix and Obelix against my site MobiliX (UniX on
Mobile Devices) (see http://tuxmobil.org/mobilix_asterix.html )
I had to withdraw the domain mobilix.org in February 2003.
Looking for a new name I found many websites which expressed
Linux and included words for mobility in their domain names.
Some of these websites do not seem to offer any
content related to Linux. Often their names are just
variations of the famous site Linux-on-Laptops by
Kenneth E. Harker. (see http://linux-on-laptops.com )
You can find domains which simply include keywords
of the plural form or replace the word laptop with
"notebook". Some just add "mobile" attributes.
You may find a detailed list in my article at
TuxMobil http://tuxmobil.org/domain_grabbing.html
The article contains also a research about the usage
of Linux trademarks.
Werner

Digital's community-based distribution provides a secure and easy to
manage platform suitable for those interested in evaluating Guardian
Digital's enterprise products, students, security enthusiasts, and

link to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems," writes Brian Hatch,
author of the best-seller 'Hacking Linux Exposed' and Chief Hacker at
security consultancy Onsight, Inc. "EnGarde provides the advanced security
foundation necessary to thwart attacks, coupled with outstanding
management tools to simplify its complexity and prevent misconfiguration
that could lead to compromise."

Detection System to provide sophisticated access control
and prevent Trojan horse attacks.
* Latest cryptography tools including OpenSSH and OpenSSL,
plus built-in web-based key management.
* Hardened kernel and user tools providing highly resilient
protection from intruders.
* Gateway firewalling using stateful packet inspection.
* Security Control Center to monitor system activity.
* Upgraded core components including Linux kernel 2.4.20,
iptables-1.2.7a, and development tool chain.
