For the end-user, SuSE's scheme is too easy
and also -flexible- enought to enable Users
to accept or reject offered updates to SuSE
ans non-SuSE software.
Why not use a similar scheme for Sys Admin?
BTW, one of the happy surprises, that we've
seen auto-installed by YaST2 (with User con-
cent) is a mechanism that hides most of the
boot-time console messages from the eyes of
the User who doesn't care to view it - in a
way, that also enables another User to show
those messages (by pressing F2, I believe).
Is it just me, or does this thing sound exactly like the e-Smith server/Internet gateway from a few years back?
It ran a modified Red Hat, was an "Internet appliance" turn-key CD-ROM for any recent x86 box, & did all the fun router/web server/email server/file server stuff with just a simple web interface.

It might help put a bit of pressure on employers,

a well-known web site, that people could consult,
just before job-hopping...
If it were -also- suggested that -less- creative
people (ie those with little to lose by signing
a -bad- IP contract) were more likely to be the

the other category...
well, those companies concerned about their

The quoted name is my spin-off...
and - it's been a so long since I
first read about it - that I may
have the number of team members
wrong...
But the idea is something like this:
It's a business model for database-based
web system design that brings [4 or] 5
talents together to work on a stream of
projects, rotating "hats" (ie, Project
Manage, Programmer, Customer Liason,
Graphic Designer, et al.) as they move
from one project to another.
As the number of projects grows to be
more than one "Gang of [4 or] Five"
can handle, another "Gang" forms to
handle the overload.
I suppose there could be a loose coupling
between the various, independent "Gangs"
(eg, to enable "load balancing" to happen),
but they could just as well remain separate
entities & control their own destinies...
a bit like music bands.
Thus, if you control your own destiny,
you can write your own IP clauses...
to encourage members' creativity,
while still protecting Clients' rights
to their IP & sensitive business info.
I can see a contract (akin to the GPL),
- incorporating these IP terms - that
each "Gang of [4 or] Five" would find
acceptable.
Of course, I can also see a family of
such contracts (like those that have
been embraced by one or more developers
of various flavors of Open Source S/W),
that new "Gangs" could choose, accord-
ing to their &/or their current Client's
preferences & needs.
So, a train-locating system can combine both GPS
(for near-enough position) and an APRS-like sys-
tem (capable of transmitting locally sensed data
- such as track ID, from a reliable transponder)
I suppose, of course, that, in India, we -might-
be able to hire enough poor people to live along
side of the tracks (eg, every 50 feet), and keep
watch for animals; on seeing one they transmit a
warning signal, heard/decoded by the engineer or
a system s/he can be slowed by.
Bull Bar may be an Aussie expression for
the unyielding 4WD protectors that are
now considered hazards to humans that
get in the way of speeding four-wheel-
drive vehicles.
Similar to wedge-shapped Cow Catchers,
but they just mangle, without chopping
into several bits (unless, of course,
the 4WD is miving very fast...)

It was about 12 months ago that I noticed that
an online computer shop (in India) had a match-
making site linked from the shop's website.
The matchmaking site's membership form asked for
one's caste, & I suppose it was a required
data field.
Japan had more brain-power available, at least
-after- the War (WW2), since fewer of its en-
gineers were wasted on defence projects.
This is a better idea, or would be, ie
if the camera looked behind as well as
in front.
But... still not fool-proof in places,
where neither point vehicle nor train-
driver could see cow walking towards
the tracks.
Nice idea, but what happens if a cow, etc.
happens to get onto the track -between-
the Point Car & the high-inertia train?
ie, -after- the (presumably forward-looking)
Point Car passes the point of entry.
Assume an obstacle prevents driver of train
from seeing the cow walking towards tracks.
So, a train-locating system can combine both GPS
(for near-enough position) and an APRS-like sys-
tem (capable of transmitting locally sensed data
- such as track ID, from a reliable transponder)
I suppose, of course, that, in India, we -might-
be able to hire enough poor people to live along
side of the tracks (eg, every 50 feet), and keep
watch for animals; on seeing one they transmit a
