  1. Old story... by valentyn · · Score: 1 · on Chinese Linux Developers Allegedly Violating Licenses
    I remember is Gentus Linux - don't click the link, it is dead now :)

    I think Gentus found out that by not releasing modifications, you shoot yourself in the foot: maintenance will be much harder, as the upstream will never incorporate - or even consider - your changes. A new upstream version now means work, instead of relief.

  4. It's a non-issue...or is it? by Spoing · · Score: 1 · on Abit Violating The GPL?

    Yep, it looks like a non-issue. Can someone with an ISO of the Gentus distribution verify that the source is available as the FAQ says?

    Here's the text from the Gentus Linux FAQ;

    Question: Where is source code? (Last update: 21/Apr/2000)

    Answer: The source code of Gentus Linux is included in the directory "/REDHAT/RPMS/" of the CD tile. If you installed Gentus with "everything" option or select "kernel source" with custom option, the source code is also availble in "/usr/scr/linux/kernel/".

  5. Source is available... by akey · · Score: 2 · on Abit Violating The GPL?

    ... at least according to this FAQ. It appears that it is an ISO-only distribution, and that source code is available in /REDHAT/RPMS/. Whether it's the complete source to everything (doubtful), or just to the kernel, or just to the things they have modified, I don't know. Has anyone actually pulled down an ISO and burned a CD?

  6. what a coincidence by DirkGently · · Score: 1 · on Hardware ATA/66 Controllers and Installing Linux
    Just an hour ago I was trying this very thing with my BP6. I got through the install, but when the kernel goes to boot for the first time she gets to recognizing the drive on the 66 controller and she reboots. I can, for an instant, glimpse the 'hde' like I would hope. I think its whatever it tries to do afterward that causes problems. RH 6.1...which is probably part of my problem.

    But I needed a working box like asap, so I said sod it and went UDMA33.

    PS: I know Gentus exsists, but downloading from there has been damn near impossible lately.
