ReiserFS Alternative FS
Hans Reiser apparently was offended by us mentioning ext3 and not mentioning his own FS. Under most circumstances we don't care, but he says "ReiserFS version 3.5.12 at is faster than ext3, it is stable, it is on our web site, and SuSE's." Anyone wanna try this out and do some benchmarking? I'm curious. -
Interview with L. Peter Deutsch of Ghostscript
Tsarnon writes "This is an interview of the L. Peter Deutsch who wrote Ghostscript. Good discussion on free software liscensing issues. " An interesting point Peter makes is that he shopped around for a free softare project to do, rather than experiencing ESR's proverbial itch to solve a given problem. He also discusses thorny IP issues such as patents, copyright and the Aladdin Public license. -
