MS aims at Linux with $399 Server 2003, Web Edition http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/04/1340220

• By John Lettice, The Register - It's essentially a stripped-down version of Standard Edition ($999), which comes with 4gig, 4-way SMP and five CALs, and it also comes with some distribution limitations, the import of which are not yet clear. "Windows Server 2003, Web Edition is not available in all channels," says the footnote. "Contact your local System Builder, OEM, or reseller for more information on how to purchase."

When will my computer "just work?"
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/27/2053207

• By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - Many of my neighbors are retirees who have computers their children or grandchildren gave them primarily for email. We're talking Windows 98 or Windows 95 more often than not, and there always seem to be problems since these tend to be castoff machines to begin with. I try to help when I can. But you know what? I'd like my computer to "just work" too.

Getting Red Hat Network support for free just got harder http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/03/138248

• By John Lettice, The Register - With the impending rollout of Red Hat Advanced Workstation the company has made another move to 'encourage' users to pay for Red Hat Network support. As you'd expect it's a mixture of carrots and sticks, but some of the sticks look quite painful for people who're trying to run businesses off of the free RHN service - presumably this is deliberate.
