A great read from IBM – the Redbook on File and Print services on Linux.
The focus is heavily on NT4 replacement – but there are some good notes and worked examples of Windows 200x and Active Directory migration.
One area that would be interesting (for Novell customers) is replacing the LDAP components of this Redbook with eDirectory; for more comprehensive management of this space Novell Open Enterprise Server would also be a great choice.
IKEA are to purchase land in Draper for a new store. Projected opening 2007.
This has been rumoured for a while; nice to see some movement.
This will save me visiting IKEA when in San Jose or Chicago 🙂

Google Analytics is live – that’s been blogged elsewhere.
I’m used to trawling my Apache logs and building my own reports on visitors; this takes away the pain and delivers some seriously heavyweight features.
Best of all – the service is free (as in beer). I am impressed with how Google have used the technology from their acquisition of urchin.
My servers have been subjected to extra ssh traffic in the last few days:

SANS also had a post – http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=846
I’m keeping an eye on behaviour – I think my sshd are configured reasonably well.
I was sent a link to a great new blog – MSIwisdom.
There are some great resources, hints and tips on this site – obviously focused on Windows application deployment using MSI packages.
Very useful for ZENworks Desktop Management.
