Open Source Java? by nconway · 2000-08-20 02:47 · Score: 3 · on Java Rocks On Linux

While Sun open sourcing Java might seem outlandish, I'd say it's a definate possibility. Sun has GPL'd StarOffice, and is a member of the GNOME foundation. I think the bottom line is that if Sun clearly understands it would be in their best interests to open source Java, they'll do it. After all, they're a public company like any other - they have to obey the will of the consumer. OSS currently has a mindshare among developers that can't be easily ignored.

The survey is here, go and vote. Recently, a petition was put forward to open source javadoc (the Java sourcecode documentation tool), but Sun hasn't responded (possibly due to lack of attention from the media). I think if we really bug Sun about this, we might get an official response (*fingers crossed*).

As to the topic at hand, my primary Linux JDK for development is IBM's. It's excellent, and very fast - I haven't had any problems. Sun's 1.3.0 JDK hasn't even been officially released for Linux or Solaris yet, so there's not really much of an alternative at the moment.

Believe it or not--CDE. by karzan · 2000-07-15 00:13 · Score: 1 · on Linux Implementation For 2500 Workstations?

In my opinion, the best choice for a desktop in this case is CDE.

Whether you choose to use the desktops as actual application/file machines or as Xterminals, CDE will work out very nicely. One of CDE's main strengths is its ability to integrate limitless numbers of machines and platforms together simultaneously into one desktop, so that you can launch applications and interact with files regardless of where they are or what platform they're on.

CDE will allow you to set up centralised application and file servers on various UNIX (or linux) platforms and then serve those out to X users out there, all integrated with cut and paste, drag and drop, etc. It will also make it easy to not have to make the choice about whether to use those desktops as PCs or X terminals, as CDE seamlessly mixes local resources and remote ones--you can run CDE on a 'desktop server', your applications on an application server, and get your files locally--or you can get your files remotely and run ApplixWare locally, or whatever. It's all very easily configurable into limitless configurations.

CDE 2.1 is resource-friendly, and also very easy to use and simple interface, not an overbearing one. It's got a LOT of great features, despite what you may hear from people who don't really know how to use them.

I wouldn't recommend Xi Graphics CDE though--it's not fully working--so you might want to use a UNIX box as a CDE server. Alternatively, email me and I can give you some more information about CDE choices if you're interested.

BBSes still around by kwalker · 1999-11-27 00:15 · Score: 1 · on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead?

Being a former SysOp and long-time BBS user myself, I watched about the same thing happen. Back in 1993, I used a DOS-based program called Telemate to connect to about forty BBS's in the city, about ten of them on a daily basis. By 1996, most of them were gone. By 1998, all but a handful of die-hard BBSes are gone, and those are generally elated to have a new user.

I used to think it was hopeless and that the community that had helped me realize what computers could do and how they could connect people--the community that had introduced me to Linux--was completely gone. I still had my BBS, but one call per week was hardly enough to justify staying off the Internet for me. And while I loved forums like Slashdot and Freshmeat, none of them gave me the tight-knit sense of community that I had with the old school BBS's.

There was a tiny glimmer of hope, however. Many BBSes had managed to get themselves setup as telnet sites. I found one large and very active one in the Netherlands (Fluxpod Information Exchange) that reminded me of what they used to be like, and the wave of nostalgia washed over me and has not completely abated since. I began to search for other online BBSes (telnet but in the old-style). I found quite a few; The Hard Drive Cafe, Eagle's Dare and quite a few others. I also found that some BBS software is not entirely dead. A lot of the BBSes I used to use were based on WWIV and in fact, they still exist and are developing 4.30 to have telnet capabilities.

I also got in touch with a guy who was developing a Linux version of WWIV. WWIV/X was born and is steadily progressing toward a stable, full-featured release. I wish that I could report that WWIV/X will be Open Source, but since WWIV is not, and WWIV/X uses WWIV for the vast majority of its code, it will most likely be under the same license as WWIV (Shareware 60-day trial). However, I am working on other BBS-related projects that will be under Open Source licenses, but none of them are far-enough along to make any kind of real announcement. If you want more information, e-mail me.
