SSH vulnerabilities
Published: Monday, July 23, 2001 | By: DennisWell folks, it appears that someone has found an exploit in SSH. SSH is a secure telnet application for *nx based O/S's. The problem seems limited to version 3.0.0 of SSH though all SSH users are urged to check their SSH version and upgrade if necessary.
You'll notice that Slackware Linux is not expressly listed as one of the problem Linux distro's.

ATI Radeon VE Review @ OnePC
Published: Monday, July 23, 2001 | By: DennisThe ATI Radeon VE is the low cost alternative to the Radeon and is quite similar to Nvidia's MX lineup of GPU's in a variety of ways. The VE is the crippled version of the Radeon, it is able to run in a "Dual-Head" configuration, has a 64-bit memory bus and has relatively poor 3D performance.
Overall from experience I believe these dual-head cards still need a lot of work. With a major problem being that monitors don't get recognized properly. -
Gigabit Access from your House
Published: Monday, July 23, 2001 | By: DennisImagine this, an affordable internet connection that is a 1,000 times faster than a cable modem that is not on a shared network. Sounds too good to be true but could become a reality in the near future.
I didn't see anything in the article about upload speeds so I'm going to assume it to be a 56k modem, though time will tell. -
Tualatin 1.2GHz Review @ HardwareZone
Published: Friday, July 20, 2001 | By: DennisThe HardwareZone has posted a review of the next generation P3 processor, the Tualatin. The specs of this new processor are quite impressive plus the benches show it to be equal to the Athlon at the same speed. The only major drawback is the socket2 format FCPGA2, meaning if you want to upgrade your will need a new Mobo along with the processor.

Another GeForce3 The OCZ Titan 3
Published: Thursday, July 19, 2001 | By: DennisI found a press release for this product at FastGraphics the other day and became quite intrigued in it. The card features a Thermaltake Blue Orb, Copper RAMsinks and enhanced core and memory speeds, 215/515 to be exact. Not sure if there is still room to play but this is still quite an improvement over the stock speed of 200/460.

Some Drivers Have "Issues"
Published: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 | By: DennisHere is a funny tidbit, This morning I was having troubles with my Logitech Mouseman and decided to see if any new drivers had been posted. What I found was that some of Logitech's drivers have "issues". Here is a clip
IMPORTANT! It is urgently recommended that all users planning to upgrade to Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 should upgrade to the latest MouseWare immediately. Earlier versions of MouseWare may have issues with Service Pack 2.
Here is a direct link
In case any Logitech employees are reading this I hate the new Mouseman styles and the ergo keyboard should have a cord. -
