>Dynamic XML Transformation
Have you ever wanted to apply different XSL methods to a set of XML based upon user inputs? A static XSL file can transform your XML data but what if you want different transformations for different user inputs? This article tackles the problem. http://www.asptoday.com/articles/20000724.htm ASPToday.com, 000724
>Linux Networking: Using Ipchains
One of the neatest things to do with a small-office/home-office Linux installation is to set up multiple workstations to share a network connection via ipchains. In this extensive tutorial, William Wong explains how a Linux computer running ipchains can link a local network to the Internet through an Ethernet-attached device like a cable modem or a DSL modem. http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/2100/1/ LinuxPlanet.com, 000724
