Linux distro STX LINUX looks interesting especially for my old PIII500Mhz/392RAM box. As soon as I get home I’m going to download it and test it out.
Well my old P3 finally kicked the bucket this evening so I guess I won’t be testing STX on that thing!!

This HOWTO was a specific requirement of my job so I can’t go into to great detail nor-can I give you all of the source code. What I am going to cover is building an XSS filter to use in your ASP.NET app.
One of the biggest problems facing every single person that uses the internet is Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exploits. XSS come from our Love/Hate relationship with JavaScript. On one hand through JavaScript we can implement quick interaction with users of our web apps through dialog boxes alerts. JavaScript also gives us cool image effects, client-side form validation and now the holy grail of Ajax.
But the hate of JavaScript is its weak security and its ability to access the machine the browser is running on. If a developer is not careful that could expose their users to a whole world of hurt.

The thing that has really been driving me nust lately is the font-sizes in Firefox on a Linux system. More specificly when I am running Knoppix or Kanotix I find that most apps look good when using KDE except for Firefox. The two problems are the font-size of the Firefox UI are too small and secondly the fonts of certian web sites like google.com were way to small.
But after doing some googling and hacking I have found a reason, a fix and a hack.

I created a new WebService on a remote server (QA2) from working code on my local computer but when I tried to run the Web Service through a browser I got a 404 page not found error.
