Question by McNeef: In linux, how can I tell what programs are using the network? I have noticed a sudden increase in network activity, i.e. the light on my network hub is blinking non-stop. I suspect malware. “netstat -p” gives a few hundred lines of output I don’t understand. Thanks, Ben. The top portion of netstat showed firefox and java. After I closed down firefox, the light was still blinking wildly. So I kill -9′d the java process and it restarted itself.

[Old Article] Last week we discussed Internet Explorer 7, the latest browser offering from Microsoft, and decided that whilst long overdue did go some way to addressing the functionality gap between the rather dated IE 6 and newer alternatives such as Opera and Firefox.

Since I have talked about features such as tabbed browsing many times in the past I will today focus purely on the differences between version 2 and version 1.5.
