Red Hat to ship midlevel server OS - Computerworld - Linux company Red Hat Inc. announced today a new midlevel server operating system in a bid to expand its sales beyond its high-end, enterprise-focused Advanced Server. It also announced the availability of its workstation operating system for 32-bit systems.
The new Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES product is designed for less heavy lifting than Advanced Server, which has been renamed Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS. The ES product runs on 32-bit Intel Corp. processors and is designed for network, file, print, mail and Web applications, according to Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat. The AS product runs on both 32- and 64-bit systems.

Code Red II Variant on the Prowl - Security experts are watching a new variant of the Code Red II worm that began appearing on some monitoring networks Tuesday. The worm is nearly identical to its ancestor, save for a modified drop-dead date that is now several thousand years in the future.
Known as Code Red.F, the worm uses the same infection method as the previous versions, attacking Web servers running Microsoft Corp.'s IIS software. The worm so far has infected only a few machines, and because most administrators patched their servers after the initial Code Red outbreak in 2001, it is unlikely to spread extensively, experts say. - Eweek
