I guess this will not answer your question about the advantage of the commercial tripwire above the open source one, but I use aide for some time now and it does a good job for me. I think it does the same as tripwire does (the version of 2 years ago, since it was the last time I used this).

AIDE creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds
from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be used to
verify the integrity of the files. It has several message digest algorithms
(md5,sha1,rmd160,tiger,haval,etc.) that are used to check the integrity of
the file. More algorithms can be added with relative ease. All of the usual
file attributes can also be checked for inconsistencies. .
You will almost certainly want to tweak the configuration file in/etc/aide/aide.conf. See manual.html for information on this file.
So don't count on it to build a day-to-day production system
I am using GNU/Linux for quite some years now and have moved to the NVidia drivers fairly early.
You should not run _any_ production system with the NVidia drivers,they are the cause of the most system crashes. Not even for the tried and tested GNU/Linux platform:(
Come to think of it, why would you want 3D support on a production system:) Would you trust anyone running Q3 on your file server;) Just leave off X alltogether;)
I guess you opened padora's box with this statement (/me wonders if this is a troll:) )
I must assume you have no or little experience with gnu/linux deployment in small/larger environments.
I see where linux is used in two large organisations (each of about 1,000 ppl I guess) and none of these is actually _buying_ MDK every release.
While these two organisations tackle it quite differently (which is another discussion), both the centralised and more distributed approach do "periodical" upgrades of the clients and in an _automated_ way (RH and Debian if you are interested).
The discussions in the IT meetings about upgrading the W32 clients,... required more preparation of the users and hardware/timing.
A new user would go out and buy let's say MDK or SuSE every release, just to have to box in the shelf at home, not companies or a bit more experienced users (and ppl get very quickly experienced when their wallet is involved).
Perhaps a bit OT, but I used to do some sysadmin next to my regular work and I can assure you, we had _much_ more problems with W32 upgrades as compared to the GNU upgrades...
But I guess this discussion will always be a yes-no discussion, perhaps with the only difference that I feel that the GNU users have some experience with W32, while W32 seem to take the FUD as reality... Pitty.
I was actually waiting for this drive, but mainly because of this story and others about Sony's dirty tricks with DRM, I'm waiting for another drive. I don't care about copying CDs or DVDs, but I do care when my system hangs when I want to listen to a CD/see a DVD while (in between) working...
Is anyone aware of drives like this from other vendors?
the/. ppl did not take over the "unban" list from the east cost. Just found out that our entire university got banned from the/. site:( since the proxy got banned,...

There is an ITP on de debian bug database, dunno what the progress is...
For my convenience [TM], I made a quick-n-dirty debian package with alien (basically extracting the package in/usr/lib, putting the right links, tarring it into a new archive and running alien on it).
The only pitty is that there are no real stable interfaces to the library, which makes a lot of projects to statically link the libraries:(
We changed the upstream sources a bit to provide libavcodec and libavformat as shlibs and started using dynamic linking.
As long as ppl use the sources provided with the debs and compile, no problem, but it's hacking time again when someone gets a CVS release:X Oh well, that's what makes life (and coding) interesting of course;) -and trying to capture possible problems with m4 macros >:)-
In the "Space" documentary series (hosted by Sam Neill), one researcher mentioned something about "except that one time".
Apparently they had some signal, but it was gone before they could reallign the dishes to get a confirmation. I guess they ruled out possible "domestic" signals...
If anyone could guide me to a more elaborate source except that remark of one of the researchers, I would like to read it:)
Just a quick look at the suggested software, but you are asking a GNU/Linux user to:
1. buy and install some W32 OS 2. buy and install DAP 3. download the Linux kernel sources 4. reboot and compile
I am aware of vmware, wine,... but I guess you see the problem here... (next to the fact that it's not even certain you are using an ia32 architecture, something W32 prophets are always assuming obviously). I personally do not like 4a;) because rebooting is for installing new hardware;)

Linux 3.0

· Score: 5, Informative
No, this time Linux is correct since the topic is about the kernel.
If you are talking about the Operating System, you should address it as GNU/Linux (same as you have GNU/Mach).
e.g. Debian, SuSE, Redhat,... distribute GNU/Linux (you would not do much with a Linux distribution).
You must have amnesia RMS, since you learnt us to cite: GNU is the operating system and Linux is one of its kernels
what you actually are saying (at least that what's I'm understanding here), is that Palladium and DRM OS is not really an issue here: When our worst nightmare becomes reality, two things can happen:
Hacking the hardware as a previous comment indicated, the Intel/AMD/Microshaft hardware will be hacked. Since the entire Open Source community will be affected, I guess this will not take long with that amount of developers.
A shift in power as the DMCA (and possibly European short sighted counterparts) prohibits hacking the hardware and distributing the code. I guess countries like China will have no objections in doing this and they will come up with a OSS based solution for the problem. Considering the nature of OSS, I see no problem in using their OS as you would most likely get e.g. a non-US-EU software branch in the Far East. Once the (let's call them Chinese for the moment, but also Indians and other countries not affected by stupid legislation) 3/5 of the planet's population realise the potential, I even see a non-Intel dominated hardware line emerging.
Of course, politicians might then decide to prohibit the import of those Asian products, at which time,... At that time, I guess the western world will have passed along the technological advantage (and all this in the name of innovation).... I am really convinced that with these DRM based solutions we are just bringing ourselves down. Anyway, we are buggered as Westerners, but the Open Source Community will not be...
I guess with the usual EULA that gives the permission to send all kinds of information to Microsoft about your usage habits and possibly automatically removes your linux partition and install Windows X-whatever on it, after automatically getting the money from your credit card.

Yeah, I know, I should build it from the mozilla CVS, but I'm in a hurry here >:)
It would seem to me that in the long haul, Microsoft would support such efforts because they could sell more devices (and potentially more software if they licensed an opensource validation library)... "
As far as I know about these things, the hardware is sold at cost or with a loss, and the manufacturers want to get profit out of the games.
Modding it would not increase their profit, instead, as you are running software where M$ (or Nintendo or Sony) they are not paid for.
On the other hand, Sony does support Linux on their PS/2 and develops for it. I guess that they think (rightfully) that if you buy a PS/2, you will most likely buy games for it too. Having Linux (and network on it) might just be the extra push the customer needs.
my girl-friend is going to work on that (at least, having Mozilla run on the PS/2 running Linux), I believe.
As far as I understood it, the versions are not really gaming-minded yet (2.2.1 kernel, 3.3.6 XFree86), but with some luck, you might be playing B&w on a PS/2 running Linux, under winex emulating Windows >:) instead of rebooting the thing to PS/2-OS or whatever it is running normally...
I actually am pretty biassed towards WineX. OK, in the short term, it will help a number of people that are running Linux and want to play a particular game.
Unfortunately, WineX will in the long term halt or slow down development of games running native in Linux. Why would a gaming company put money in porting it, Linux users _can_ play their game.
The skills of the people running Linux might well be their undoing,...
Mainly for this reason, I mainly buy _linux_ native games (Quake 1 and 3 and Kohan). Unfortunately, ID decided not to release a Linux version of Wolfenstein anymore, but the binary was downloadable from the net (unfortunately or fortnutely, one needed the wine to run the Windows-only installer from the CD).
We are giving a seminar to a number of engineering students with the same goal and have put a lot of material online.
More information should become online on DSPInfoExchange, but as with most companies, promises, promises, promises... If you are interested, you can always contact me for the rest.
If you have a look at the Texas Instruments website and look for DSP Fest or Developer's Conference, you'll find a lot of relevant material. They promised to release linux tools a couple of weeks ago on the tidevcon 2002 (not the full blown gfx interface, but rather gdb like) for the 'C6000 line. Let's hope they deliver:)
