If you feel the urge to venture into the world of Linux, here's several good reasons. Some recent announcements from Zimbra about their amazing Collaboration Suite.
Comcast + Zimbra = Future of Unified Messaging
A recent entry at digg outlines the progress of this collaboration server.
A quote from a recent news item

In a big move for Web Office vendor Zimbra, Comcast has teamed up with Zimbra, Plaxo, and HP to announce the SmartZone Communication Hub - a tightly integrated web-based communication app that will merge email, voicemail, IM, and an address book. Comcast is the second largest ISP provider in the US, after AT&T and larger than AOL. It is also one of the largest providers of cable television, entertainment, and digital communications in the U.S. So this a big coup for Zimbra and Plaxo (more on that below). As for HP, they will be assisting in integrating the data, voice, and video services on the SmartZone platform.

Zimbra Desktop is the next generation leap forward for Web 2.0 applications- now you can have Zimbra's Ajax-based collaboration experience online and offline. That means when you are out of the office without a connection (say, in a plane, train, or automobile), you can keep working without missing a beat. Write email, add new appointments, edit documents and when you re-connect changes will be automatically synced to the Zimbra Server.
|
Be aware that you do need a Zimbra Collaboration Suite to connect your Zimbra Desktop client to.
These achievements are amazing for such a young company.

The Dude network monitor is a new application by MikroTik which can dramatically improve the way you manage your network enviroment. It will automatically scan all devices within specified subnets, draw and layout a map of your networks, monitor services of your devices and alert you in case some service has problems.
|
Best of all it's free and available from the MikroTik website. It's Windows only but it does recognise PCs with other operating systems on your LAN.

If you have and you're in the market for a new router then try Endian Firewall, it turns your PC into a fully configurable router/firewall/IDS and much more.

What is Endian Firewall Community?
Endian Firewall Community is a "turn-key" linux security distribution that turns every system into a full featured security appliance. The software has been designed with "usability in mind" and is very easy to install, use and manage, without losing its flexibility.
The features include a stateful packet inspection firewall, application-level proxies for various protocols (HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP) with antivirus support, virus and spamfiltering for email traffic (POP and SMTP), content filtering of Web traffic and a "hassle free" VPN solution (based on OpenVPN). The main advantage of Endian Firewall is that it is a pure "Open Source" solution that is sponsored by Endian.
|
It is a Linux distribution underneath but don't let that put you off, it's a very simple install with a web browser management tool for configuration. I've just installed the latest Release 2 of EFW on my ADSL connection and it couldnn't have been easier to install - there will be a bit of learning involved for configuration but it's worth the effort. 
Full details, documentation and links to mailing lists can be found at the Endian site here.

On December 8, 2005, we published a story that wondered: Firefox 1.5: Not Ready For Prime Time? In response, some 450 (and climbing) InternetWeek, InformationWeek, TechWeb Pipelines, and Scot's Newsletter readers have sent details about their experiences with Firefox 1.5. A picture is emerging about Firefox 1.5 in the real world -- on a small percentage of Windows, Mac, and Linux computers -- that is less than positive.

An interesting piece by Bruce Schneier:
| Quote:
|
What happens when the creators of malware collude with the very companies we hire to protect us from that malware?
We users lose, that's what happens. A dangerous and damaging rootkit gets introduced into the wild, and half a million computers get infected before anyone does anything.
Who are the security companies really working for? It's unlikely that this Sony rootkit is the only example of a media company using this technology. Which security company has engineers looking for the others who might be doing it? And what will they do if they find one? What will they do the next time some multinational company decides that owning your computers is a good idea?

Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist and author. Described by The Economist as a "security guru," Schneier is best known as a refreshingly candid and lucid security critic and commentator. When people want to know how security really works, they turn to Schneier.

His monthly newsletter on Security matters is an interesting read on a complicated subject.
