Every now and then a particular Linux distribution appears and causes a splash with its stability, usability, support of myriads of pieces of hardware, abundance of features, etc. Although it does not fit exactly in the above description, one of the recent splashes is the Debian-based Ubuntu Linux and its derivatives Kubuntu and Edubuntu. |

> The daily problems an IT manager has to solve are so diverse that it is hardly possible to classify them in order of importance or difficulty. But one of the recurring problems that managers in many companies face is turnover of people. For some companies turnover of staff is a chronic disease that causes more trouble and leads to more problems than any other issue, including competition or market changes.

Rootkits can be named the most technically sophisticated form of
malicious code (malware) and one of the most difficult to discover
and eliminate. Of all types of malware, probably viruses and worms
get the most publicity because generally they are wide-spread and
many people know to have been affected by a virus or a worm, but this
definitely does not mean that viruses and worms are the most
destructive malware variety. There are more dangerous types of
malware, because as a rule they operate in stealth mode, are
difficult to detect and remove and can go unnoticed for very long
periods of time, silently stealing data and modifying the files on
the victim's machine. |

Searching
the Web is easy. The difficult part is to find what you are looking
for. While the search engines and mainly Google have done miracles in
making millions of pages accessible, finding what you need when you
need it is not always an easy task. And the truth is, that the ease
with each Google has made it possible to retrieve most of the
information we need, has made us lazy to search in depth, when the
stuff we are looking for is not right at the the top of the first ten
search results. |

Offshoring is a controversial issue and it has supporters and opponents both in the countries where projects are outsorced from and in the countries to which the jobs go. The interests of the parties involved in an offshored project are different, therefore the arguments they have for and against offshoring are also different. But one is for sure – no matter if it is liked or disliked, outsourcing and offshoring are here to stay for the next decades. |

Dealing with end-users or simply beginners is not always a pleasant and easy experience for tech jerks. I personally sometimes get irritated when I have to explain for a thousandth time a simple concept I have already clarified in layman's terms a day or two ago. While I was working as Technical Support and I dealt with users all the time, one of the intricacies of helping people over the phone or via e-mail was the lack of picture – if only I could show them what I wanted, or see what was on their screen, then it would have been much easier to find the problem and solve it.
