Interesting article. I thought though somewhat flawed. Netware even being in the running has to make you wonder. The poll results from the CNN applet on the page has Linux beating win2k with close to double the votes, making it the far and away leader in the CNN poll.
Also according to the fusinon poll results, the order of final points were:
Win2K 7.78 Netware 5.1 7.61 Red Hat Linux 6.35 SCO Unix 6.10
So, Red Hat did'nt finish last like the title suggested. However it did end up in next to last place. I guess it's good even to get on the list. To hedge the bets next time maybe we can get them to also include Mac file and print services, baynan, 3Coms old 3+ Open and IBM's Lan Manager under OS/2. *Grin*.
Something to do today while we're snowed in on the east coast.
Although I'm a little aprehensive, a buddy of mine has it up and running already and says it is very slow at times, he's still tweaking but not having much luck. However from what he says it's a GIANT leap in the right direction. Very slick.

BMG Entertainment, the music department of the Bertelsmann company, has since short audio DS in the trade, which is provided with the copy protection Cactus DATA Shield. This mechanism was developed in co-operation with the Israeli software enterprise Midbar and Sonopress from Germany. So far the albums " Razorblade Romance " of the group of Him and " My private ones are were concerned " the former Independent Heroen Philip Boa & The Voodoo club. The copy protection prevents not only the selection (Grabben) and a copying of the audio TRACKS with the PC, but also a playing on all D-CRcOcM-cDrives as well as on older audio CD players
Derek- I am the lawyer for LinuxOne, Inc. I have read with disgust the lies you have been spreading over the internet recently regarding the company, its principals and products.
This really upsets me. First off LinuxOne is not really the sort of positive culture we are looking to help promote Linux as an industrial strength OS, also with their history of "shadiness" it give the Linux community a black eye.
Some say, any press is ggood press, but in this case I think Linux could do without the association with LinuxOne. With the statement above, (from a Hotmail account, feel the professionalism), the lawyer references lies which I would question which party is not being up front. The whole LinuxOne mess is going to dammage the Linux effort as a whole if it doesn't go away soon.
We don't need firms with reputations as poor as LinuxOne waving the opensource flag.
A well erned victory for NASA! With all the poor press NASA has received lately with the Mars programs, it's nice to see a victory.
"Thanks to the great work by the astronauts, Hubble is better than new,"
Not only did they correct the gyro problems which made pointing a little difficult, the continued efforts on correcting the optics making them better than ever.
"After a two-month hiatus, it is a tremendous boost to all of astronomy to see Hubble back in action. Nasa has restored the observatory to a condition that was better than it was even before the fourth gyroscope failed."
A voice of reason from left field. Nicely written.
There have been much more difficult ports done in the past. If the acceleration challenge is the hardest part, the port should be fairly straightforward. I would think it would be much easier to port to Linux than it would be to port the same to a Mac.
IBM was also waiting on this and are very much in favor of it on this and several other fronts. In an interview last week John Tompson was asked how this and other Linux centric and open source efforts play into IBM's strategic direction. He responded:
"We've chosen to move all of our middleware to a Linux base. Notes, Domino, Websphere, MQ [Series] -- our entire line of middleware software has not only been ported to Linux, but exploits Linux. You'll see us continuing to invest in it." - IBM senior vice president John M. Thompson, who oversees IBM's $12.7 billion software business.
I think this is a very positive step. Having big development houses like IBM and others brings a lot of money to the table for R&D along with co-branding, co-marketing and all the while Linux gets to ride along. Great stuff!
I see what you mean, I've read this a couple of times, then crawled thru their web site looking for a little more definition on release dates but couldn't fined any.
According to Hall, the Amiga and Macintosh ports will be ready as soon as possible. The Linux port, meanwhile, is scheduled for availability in the second quarter of 2000.
I guess it could be taken either way, however your right about it's good they're pumped about supporting the Linux community.
The article and comments by Kaspersky seemed to be more of a press release rather than providing any real message. FUD is what I thought he was trying to get across. Cliffords comments on the other hand outline simply that Linux and *nix have much stricter file permissions and unless your log in as root, your pretty safe. I agree to a point, I think that there will be plenty of nasties waiting for Linux over the next couple of years. But now I think were pretty safe because the folks who are running Linux generally know what they're doing and unlike the "more commercial" operating systems, Linux admins/developers NEED to know what they are doing.
I wonder why this FUD was put out to begin with? It seems to me that the target audience was middle managment and not the technical ranks, I think the technical rank and file who are Linux or Unix literate would just dismiss Kasperskys' claims.
"As part of our business strategy, it is important for Monolith to make the LithTech development system available to as many developers and platforms as possible--so in that vein, we opted to support Linux. It is an interesting platform. We are excited about its future possibilities, with LithTech available as a development system for it."
The article also states that the Mac port is coming out after they complete the Linux support. This is great news, not being an "Oh yeah, we'll port to Linux also". I really liked the fact that they state clearly that the project was developed under supervision of MS but the ties with Redmond have been severed. I wonder if Ms contracted Monolith to do this, then for whatever reason fell out of favor and not Monolith is using Ms paid for development to support the Linux community. Ironic 'eh?
Nortel Networks announced a couple of weeks ago the successful completion of a set of end-to-end Wireless Internet calls over a complete GPRS system provided in 1999 for test purposes to French GSM operator Bouygues Telecom. I wonder if the BT folks are going to partner with Bouygues to cover both countries seamlessly.
The purpose of this rulemaking proceeding is to determine whether there are classes of works as to which users are, or are likely to be, adversely affected in their ability to make noninfringing uses if they are prohibited from circumventing such technological measures.

I wonder if this will interrupt all the "Kevin is free" festivities over at 2600. Ya' know just because they advocate cracking, stealing and computer fraud doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to party.
"The music industry needs to rethink copyright laws and the ownership of music," he added. "The industry is behind the times, so people are taking matters into their own hands. But I do think people would start paying for (MP3s) if they are reasonably priced and available."
I really don't think that as long as there is a "Free" method to getting the content that has a relatively low risk of getting in trouble for having, people would pay for the content. The copyright laws need to be modified to better reflect real life. This seems to keep boiling and boiling, sooner or later it will explode and the rules will change.
It was a sarcastic statement. Of course I don;t beleive that it is cruel and unusual punishment. My point was that the lawyers et all, will come up with something like this to make money. And I think that we all honestly think that he will not be returned to prison for using a digital alarm clock or other similar device. Sheesh.
For 99K it's nice to know that the OS is open source.
Patmos's Limbix software, based on the Linux operating system, monitors and manages workloads using neural networking and fuzzy logic, two artificial intelligence methods.
This would be really fun to have at the house. More power! Argh Argh Argh!
There are plans to support other operating systems besides Windows 9x and Windows NT. Currently, we are working on WDM drivers, but plans are already underway on working with different companies on Linux and BeOS drivers. We have been in contact with Be on getting supporting for the Vortex chipsets, and hopefully will follow through on that shortly.
There are no definite plans or release dates scheduled for these drivers, however, and there are no guarantees.
I's sure glad some folks out there deliver without expressed guarantees. The drivers can be found at Aureal
Terms of his probation require that for the next three years Mitnick keep his hands off all computers, software, modems, cell phones, Internet-connected televisions and any other electronic devices that would give him access to the Internet.
From the AP, I can't really see how in this day of internet connected everything, he cannot be around anything that will connect him. I'll bet his lawyers will win an appeal stating that with our technology rich society, not having access to the net is somehow perceived as cuel and unusual punishment.
I beleive they mean, PC or equivalent. And this kid of points to or outlines the basic absurdness or the whole case. They guy was involved with stealing, electronic or otherwise it was still stealing. The fact that he used a computer to do it is just a defenition of the how, not the what.
Someone else would have and propably was using the same exploits as Mitnick. He was the guy who got caught and became the posteer boy for the (h)(cr)racker community. I think Kevin will make a buttload of money, whoring himself to the Enquirer and the news shows and ending up as a "Security Consultant".
1) A little nasty looking guy (or gal) that lives under a bridge and eats goats. 2) A poster that submits comments that are purely an attempt to solicit a response, (Fishing for responses). 3) The Slashdot bottom dwellers. First posters, humorus repeats, Natalie Portman, u 4r3 a k3wl hax0r and Naked and Petrified posts.
Your post sir landed in the second area. Your comment was not the valid and on-topic post you claim, it was a troll for a response.
Now all of us would like our posts commented upon, this fuels our egos and makes one feel accepted. It also doesn't hurt your karma rating. However the vast majority of posts are posts of topic, insight, some humor and most of all thought out opinion or content adding value to the thread. They are not just a prop to put signage on.
In short, I would like to offer a couple of helpful hints. First, loose the spam signature, if a URL is included, thats generally ok, but any more is perceived as trollish. Second, add value, not just posts to be included. Try responding to active threads, try to avoid starting your own until you get more of a feel for/. moderation and culture. And finally, don't get discouraged. This place can be pretty rough sometimes, just read Katz's latest 3 articles on flames.
