It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.
Love the N800
On June 24th, 2008 RK (not verified) says:
There are a few reasons why some people prefer the N800 to the N810.
The N800 has *two* full-size SDHC slots. The N800 has 2 GB of internal memory and *one* mini-SD slot. So if lots of small storage is your preference, the N800 is more expandable. (With the 32 GB SDHC cards out, the N800 may be capable of *64* GB of storage! Haven't read any reports of 32 GB use, but many successful 2x16 GB.) Although, with the USB OTG adapter and 500 GB of storage, this may be a moot point.
The N810 has a built-in GPS receiver, but many complain of its poor reception and long signal acquisition time. Some prefer the N800 with a higher quality bluetooth GPS device.
The N810 has a built-in, flip-out keyboard, yes, but some users don't like the top row of keys being so close to the edge of the screen. The four-way-rocker-plus-center button moved onto the flip-out keyboard, so when the N810 is closed, you are limited to tapping for most of your interaction. I think I would still prefer the N810's hardware keyboard, though I've not held one to know.
The N810 has a transreflective screen to reduce glare making it readable in sunlight. The N800 ... doesn't. All right, the N810 wins on this one.
All-in-all, I highly recommend either tablet for geeks and non-geeks.
