cfengine is a GNU project which easily replaces rdist. It uses its own protocol rather than relying on a seperate program (ie: rsh or ssh) to transfer the data. Encrypted transfers are an option in the most recent (v1.5) version.
So you wait a few more weeks or months with the other distributions. So what. Having a stable release with an easy upgrade path is much more important than being first.
It's not -in- the config.in yet for a reason, it is "pre-EXPERIMENTAL." OHCI support is not complete. UHCI support is partially working, but major development is still going on on this driver. Join the mailing list for more info.
See http://electricrain.com/linux/uusbd-www/ for the project.

Yes, this is not Inaky's driver. There are two drivers under development. The smaller one was sparked off by Linus because we needed something simple & functional in the kernel today for many reasons you can figure out yourself...
The projects are working together and will likely merge bunches of code.
BTW, working OHCI support is coming. The stuff in the 2.2.7 kernel is -not- even complete yet (Linus put it in despite a couple hopeful plees from me and others to wait until that worked).
No big deal though. It's not even enabled in config.in as "EXPERIMENTAL" because we all agreed that it hasn't reached that status yet.
If you want web pages for code history and latest snapshots on the small driver you'll have to find them yourself from the list archive; its on my DSL line which would quickly/.
Just do a whois rotten.com. Sheesh, what do they think they're protecting there. If you're worried about your name, don't post offensive stuff under a domain you have registered using it or anything correlatable to it.
Seeing people with headphones totally immersed in their music is already funny enough. Now we get to watch the person next to us wince, smile, frown, drool, and jump all with no real reason other than the little "remove me from reality" glasses on their head.
Sign me up for the seat next to this guy (and let me try the player when he's done!;)
All companies that want to be successful have to pay attention to their consumers. Computers and large scale data handling of today is just making it possible to do it in new "frightening" ways. If you don't want this kind of data to exist use cash.
Oh, and don't touch that cash.. the men in black check finger prints and DNA samples.
Ultimately banks are not out to get you because you don't carry a balance on your credit card or let your loans go to full term. They just won't offer you the best rate because you're not going to keep paying them.
It'll turn out good for the consumer. People who use stuff a lot will get better rates because they paid for them. Those who don't arguably don't need them.
The money to set up the banking networks and services all has to come from somewhere. Whether its on a piece of paper you see or hidden somewhere else the costs will ultimately be paid by the consumer.
Warp 4 fixpack 3 may be "fixes only" but the later Warp 4 fixpacks start adding and enhancing many features such as Open32 (or whatever they called their subset of Win32 api thunking to ease porting) and a more and more 32-bit internals. Maybe with a new release, the main device drivers will no longer be 16-bit.. wow.
As for Stardock, they're good. Well, better than IBM at intelligent marketing anyways. But who isn't?:)
First, start playing a little with unix to get a feel for it, the command line, using vi, etc.
Evi Nemeth's "Unix System Administration Handbook" is a great reference to start with; although its a little dated (2nd edition is almost 5 years old; she's working on a new revision but don't wait for it)
Read the man pages. Get to know when they're good or when they're pointless and go buy the O'reilly book on the subject.
If you want a good sysadmin class, take Evi's system administration class at the Univ. of Colorado, Boulder. You'll be worked hard and expected to do well (including having basic unix and programming competence) but you will learn a lot in the process!

Mineral oil on carpet is -such- a joy to clean up...

If someone does both, kudos to them.
The real conspiracy is that they just *said* it didn't make orbit and faked some photos. ;)

Definately buy retail, that's where the stats. that determine what they put on their shelves come from.
Another recovered OS/2 junkie. The only thing I used it for this year was for running TurboTax. Now -that's- something I want to see ported to Linux!

I'd love to have some financial software for Linux. They should port TurboTax while they're at it...

Hell, even I wouldn't bus US made security software without open source (ie: none) and I live there. Why should India?
