TWO OCR PACKAGES FOR LINUX COMPARED
     (Source: LinuxWorld.com) Joe Barr compares two Optical
Character Recognition packages -- Kooka & Gocr (free software)
and OCR Shop (proprietary) -- that may be of special value in the
legal and medical fields. While Joe finds one of the packages to
be clearly superior in terms of performance, his personal pick of
the two applications may surprise you.

vulnerability that spawned the recent Slammer worm, according to
an advisory published Monday by Internet Security Systems.
