Things To Download

I've taken the liberty of combining together a number of different submissions we've received. First off, Network Magic recently came out with a new version of their software (tour on link). It's Windows-based primarily, but having tested it out on Mac/Linux/Windows-mixed network, it's worth checking out. Another individual pointed out that SourceForge Enterprise is now a 15 seat free download; you can also grab the ISO in Torrent form. (SourceForge is made by the other arm of the company that owns Slashdot, VA Software). Lastly, a couple of folks seem to have rediscovered the joy of Audioscrobbler and sharing the stuff via last.fm. Fun stuff.

Sourceforge

[Umbral Blot]

Here's something I never got: why isn't sourceforge free and open source itself? It seems like it should be.

Better for Slashdot.

If you are as bored at work as I and havn't looked over the Top 100 Security Tools your time will be much better spent with those downloads than these.

o/t: Is this a porly concieved Slashvertisement???

Re:sourceforge?

Given, I haven't tried Sourceforge, but Trac is a HUGE pain to install. Mega-huge. In that the odds your server already has the dependencies taken care of are pretty much 0%. If I recall, it takes 4 different libraries (which have to be EXACT VERSIONS) or it won't do nothing.

They really need to streamline the installation so the standard (say) Dreamhost domain can run it before they can take over a lot of this market.

Hamachi

Seriously, you guys should give Hamachi a try. You can build LAN's over the internet with it in a reasonably secure manner. Great for multiplayer games. Also comes in a yummy Linux flavour.
