Web services enable you to quickly integrate applications across multiple platforms, systems and even across businesses. This tutorial demonstrates how easily you can make your DB2 data accessible through Web services on Linux. In the tutorial, you'll create a sample four-tier application that retrieves information stored in a DB2 UDB V8 database.

This tutorial demonstrates how to control the appearance of the most often used Linux Mozilla and Mozilla-based browsers (such as Netscape 7 and above). It walks you through an example of creating an installable theme that you can download to change the look and feel of your browser and its components. The example theme makes use of XML, Cascading Style Sheets, and image resources to deploy your experience with the browser, while requiring no programming knowledge.
Thanks Pancho for this one:
Performance breakthroughs seem to come in two varieties: easy and hard. That's no platitude; the boundary between the two is surprisingly clear. Although in some cases it has taken considerable genius to realize their first application, they're easy to understand. The other kind involve careful measurement, specific knowledge, and a fair amount of tuning. Good programmers can operate in either the "hard" or "easy" mode. This article offers a paired collection of 4 hard and easy tales from real (programming) life.

IBM has released two tutorials on Jetspeed, Advanced portlet technology. Part 1 takes you through portlet development by engaging Jetspeed an open source project from the Apache Software Foundation, which enables portability across all platforms. Jetspeed supports JSP as the building block for portlets. It also provides Jetspeed-specific predefined taglib blocks that make repetitive tasks easier to perform. In a addition to those features, Jetspeed provides developers with an advanced caching mechanism and support for WML. The tutorials teach you how to use this open-source architecture to implement wireless and Web-based portlets. With the knowledge you gained by creating the Hello World Portlet in Part 1, you will learn in Part 2 how to stream into the portlet you've created using Apache Tomcat.

The OpenOffice 1.0.2 port for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is incompatible with newer versions of libfreetype6.
You receive usual error messages like this (below) on Debian 3.0 systems with installed GNOME 2.2 backport or KDE 3.1:
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ sarge main contrib
Then run apt-get update and apt-get install openoffice.org to install OpenOffice.
You receive usual error messages like this (below) on Debian 3.0 systems with installed GNOME 2.2 backport or KDE 3.1:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:The workaround is quite simple. You need to add the sarge instead of woody port to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.3-9woody1 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ sarge main contrib

Thanks Shellie. IBM developerWorks has published another Linux related article:
This article is about Stow, a software installation management utility for Linux that offers a number of advantages over the tried-and-true Red Hat and Debian package management systems. With Stow, you can package applications in standard tar files and keep application binaries logically arranged for easy access.

IBM has posted an Apache webserver tutorial. Thanks Sammy.
Apache is a marvelously customizable daemon. You can tailor this web server software for specific platforms, environments, and performance thresholds. Unfortunately, most administrators run an out-of-the-box installation with few modifications to the default configuration. In this Linux-focused tutorial, you learn many suggestions, tips, and tricks for controlling Apache and modifying its behavior to best fit its running environment.

James Strandboge has forward his Gnome 2.2 for Debian 3.0 installation notes to me:
This documents the steps I took to install gnome 2.2 on Debian woody from Debian's unstable sources. It is meant for intermediate debian user's who are familiar with debian's package management system, and is not a howto. In essence, I made notes as I went, and I tried to format them into this document that will hopefully help somebody. Before building any packages, read my BUILD NOTES section below.
