Mirror available at PlanetMirror now here.

Of the web access mirrors, currently only Planetmirror in Oz actually has the released version of 2.0.

A system library that makes unlink "safe", called entomb.

Versioning can be provided by some userspace-fs combinations (atfs comes to mind). I also understand reiser5 will have built-in versioning support.

GConf is supposed to be the new way to store configuration information. Although I see a lot of new programs using XML (for example, ogle) which is kinda nice. But there's nothing wrong with the shell/windows .ini file syntax, as far as I'm concerned.

Gimp does let you do stuff in the shell, using script-fu and a perl script. However, what you really want is "convert" which is a part of the ImageMagick toolset, which handles tons of file formats, converting between them, and doing simple transformations (crop, scale, add text, color balance, etc) from the command line.

mplayer is the other equivalent that is basically a command-line front end to ffmpeg and win32 codecs.

You need a user-space tool to effectively expose the features of codecs or a library set. This is what mplayer (and also xine) do, besides just play media files.

Until realplayer, quicktime, etc. all conform to the same API, you won't see an interface driven engine.

On windows, this tool is called "graphedit" and it is part of the DirectShow SDK.

Finally, your X "shortcut" idea is superflouous. You don't really make "shortcuts" in linux desktop environments. What you do is make icons that run actions. So, you edit your configuration file, save it as something else in your home directory, then copy the icon, modify it so that the -f or -config option (application dependant) points to your config file, and off you go!

Let's not try to re-invent the wheel too much. Unix environments give you a lot of tools already to do much of what you suggest.

.. namely, "Do Not Use VxWorks". Use something stable instead. eCos comes to mind. So does everyone's favorite OS these days, which has RTOS support. Having been a frustrated VxWorks user in the past, I'd no more entrust my mission-critical services to it than I would to Microsoft. -- TTK

The court's findings on details like that are trumped by Novell's instructions to The SCO Group to waive their claims against IBM. Any SCO wailing-and-gesticulation after that is kind of pointless, at least in legal terms.

IBM is free to donate whatever it pleases out of Dynix and AIX to whomever it pleases, as long as that code was not in the original System V codebase.

But... the original System V code is based on code which in the earlier USL-vs-BSD case was in the judge's opinion Public Domain, so even if code was copied from System V, there is still an obligation on SCO to prove that any copied bit wasn't in the Public Domain anyway, and that they didn't release it themselves.

The SCO Group really are seriously up the creek in a barbed-wire nowey sans paddle. And the counterclaims haven't been addressed yet.

it's a bit of an irrelevant discussion at this point I think... but you might as well say that C is a markup language in the idiomatic "Hello World" example. The difference is that XML when used to store documents (Word XML, OOo XML, XHTML, etc.) is declarative and merely describes the text it contains. Postscript, "Hello World" and other procedural languages *operate* on the strings they contain. It's not just a semantic difference -- it's a Fundamental Paradigm Shift (tm).

You can't, for example, do this in Word XML.

Here's a program I just wrote which is similar to a common Postscript example:

/SpinText {
/text exch def
/y exch def
/x exch def
/count exch def
gsave
/deg 360 count div def
x y translate
1 1 count
{
20 0 moveto text show
deg rotate
} for
grestore
} def

/Helvetica findfont 10 scalefont setfont
10 300 400 (This is a programming language!) SpinText
showpage

If that looks like markup to you, I will have to respectfully submit that you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Ever looked at the output of Illustrator's Postscript exporter?

Savage, and its creators, did everything right. A multiplayer demo, for linux too, with enough of the game to get you hooked and playing, but leave you wanting more. Online CD Key purchase and download. Clients for both windows and linux, servers too. And continuing development that has already improved the gameplay by an order of magnitude. If the big name companies put this much thought into how to make a game right instead of pumping out the next franchise/licensed game as fast as possible us gamers would be in heaven.

SCO (old SCO) was the buyer. Their UNIX business was purchased by Caldera a few years later, after Caldera's IPO. Old SCO became Tarantella. This was roughly about the same time as VA's IPO, IIRC (I was using Caldera Linux at the time - it was a nice setup, well engineered). When Caldera purchased the SCO UNIX business, they released the ancient UNIX code freely for personal use, and began working on code merges and ABI compatibility. IIRC having a fully free UNIX was the original dream of Caldera founder Ransom H. Love.

3. LICENSED SOURCE CODE PRODUCTS The SOURCE CODE PRODUCTS to which SCO grants rights under this AGREEMENT are restricted to the following UNIX Operating Systems, including SUCCESSOR OPERATING SYSTEMs, that operate on the 16-Bit PDP-11 CPU and early versions of the 32-Bit UNIX Operating System with specific exclusion of UNIX System V and successor operating systems: 16-Bit UNIX Editions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 32-bit 32V

(quoted from the license)

Much of this was merged with BSD as part of the ATT settlement, producing what we now call SysV, IIRC. This leads me to think that any Xenix claims are baseless. Since that time, both SysV and Xenix have been modified, improved, etc. in a closed way that I wouldn't dispute. Note also that this effectively disembowels the errno.h header file argument, as if the POSIX and ANSI C standards didn't.

Sorry, couldn't format it because of Slashdot's fucking filters.

Okay, googled on "SCO Ancient Unix" and found a nifty mirror here.

I'm looking at usr/sys/user.h from Unix V6 in one window: #define EPERM 1, #define ENOENT 2, #define ESRCH 3, #define EINTR 4, and so on.
And I'm looking at include/asm-i386/errno.h from linux 2.4.20 in another window: #define EPERM 1, #define ENOENT 2, #define ESRCH 3, and so on.

Several posters have pointed to the Open Group spec. As you say, the names are part of the standard. It's also necessary that the names be identical for compatibility. Linus had no choice but to write "#define ESRCH ...". "#define ESEARCH" or "#define EPROCNOTFOUND" would not work.

However, the IEEE Std 1003.1 spec does not list the numeric values. In fact, the 2003 edition that I'm looking at lists the names alphabetically: E2BIG, EACCESS, EADDRINUSE, EADDRNOTAVAIL ...

There are 32 error code numbers in the V6 error number list. 31 of them are identical in Linux 2.4.20. In my opinion, SCO has offered credible evidence that the files are substantially similar. Now the burden is on Linus to show that he copied ENXIO=6, ENOTDIR=20, ENFILE=23, and so on, from a legitimate source.

(I agree with you about the extent of damages suffered by SCO -- nearly none. And IBM certainly didn't contribute any of this code to Linux.)

Actually, these go back at least as far as Sys III. That's right, the "ancient Unix" freed by SCO when it was Caldera. Download it at planet mirror.

So, the BSD license probably isn't even relevant.

"Maybe it would be faster for me to learn Japanese?"

I think it's better to watch a film in the language it's created in. Who knows if the translation is correct? Isn't it better to hear the real actors, and listen to the sounds they make, as opposed to some translated version?

A large piece of the meaning and fluidity of a film is lost in translation.

I can remember sitting around a table of French friends of mine, not knowing a word of French myself, and it was still interesting to listen to them, like a fly on a wall. You don't know what's being said, but the experience has it's own merits.

There's something really cool about watching anime in Japanese that gives a kind of simplicity to the plot and idea of the film. Because you have no idea what's being said, you can kind of guess, and that adds some of your immagination to the mix. It delivers a kind of Zen, IMHO. And with the visuals in the trailer of Ghost In the Shell 2, who cares what language it's in!! Gimmie!! Gimmie!!

Open Source DTP application Scribus includes an excellent PDF engine, which conforms with ISO standard PDF/X-3 and is capable of producing high-quality, press-ready PDF files.

Tinker around the source and you should be able to extract necessary pieces from there.

Seeing as how SCO released 32V (amongst other Unixes) under a BSD-style license, that link actually just helps show that even if Linux *was* descended from Unix, it would *still* be free! Yay, SCO!

Shall we call it Prime Intellect?

(actually, by the story naming convention, it would be closer to intellect 1, but oh well)

Also try PlanetMirror's mirror.

If you're talking about the "Ancient UNIX" sources, that was SCO the first, not Caldera. They didn't exactly open source it, although the code is freely available.

The Ancient UNIX license is here.
And the code is here.

I thought SCO's ancient unix sources where free to download?

Yeah, me too. But unlike the Mac, I could not run Office, Photoshop, function as a web server, surf the web, compile code
, run bioinformatics searches, do molecular modeling
and have wonderful text aliasing all at the same time.

Also, weren't they GIVING their ancient linux away until very recently? It's hard to give something away then claim trade secret. Although I'm not sure that covers all their claims, as they tend to jump around a lot.

You can still download it for free from here. While you are allowed to use it and make derived products, the license makes it pretty clear it's strictly for non-commercial use.

How about looking a bit closer ? Now where do I know '/pub' from... ftp://public.planetmirror.com/pub/ancient-unix/ is a much nicer way to download ;)

The real link is this one which doesn't ask for any licence agreement, it just offers it fo rfree to the world.

A google search for
