WEB SERVER TRAINING
by Ed Sawicki - Accelerated Learning Center / Tailored Computers

Mount Hood Community College is offering a "Unix Web
Servers" class starting tomorrow night. The class is
on Wednesday nights from 6:00 to 9:20 pm on July 16,
23, and 30. I'm teaching the class. The focus of the
class is on open source web servers with Apache being
the prime example. However, Boa and the AOLserver are
also covered. You can sign up by contacting the college.

This class is a lighter-weight version of the Apache
Boot Camp class that ALC offers periodically and will
be offered in the fall.

Bill Gates is quoted as stating in an email that was sent
outlining spam fighting measures, "Like almost everyone, I
receive a lot of spam every day, much of it offering to
help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It's ridiculous."

       this case?
