Another Internet Explorer flaw found. "A researcher shows how a hacker could bypass a Microsoft patch and continue to exploit the software giant's Web browser." Article on CNET News.com:

Microsoft on Friday released a fix that's designed to protect computers from one of three flaws that, together, could be used to digitally slip past a PC's security through the browser.

Upgraded the tedroche.com web server from Red Hat 8 to Fedora Core 2 using the yum updater, following the instructions here. Installed the vsFTPd ftp server so that I could move updates more quickly to the server. Reviewing security issues, found this page, which had some good stuff on it. In fact, the entire YoLinux.com seems rich with hundreds of links (page down on the home page) and dozens of tutorials. Reconfigured and updated WebMin, including adding in a 3rd party module for vsftpd. Man, the richness of material available on the web is amazing!
