Re:X Xand XFree

On: X Consortium Announces X11R6.5.1

According to the RELNOTES.TXT (Release Notes), 5. Supported Graphics Devices This release includes the necessary device-dependent support to build a native X server for the following platforms: HP-UX: Xhp Compaq Tru64 UNIX: Xdec on DECstation 3000/400 (Alpha) with PMAG-B SunOS/Solaris: Xsun -- see the Xsun man page for supported cards XFree86: See the XF_* man pages for supported cards So apparently, it *is* possible to run it on top? along with? instead of? XF86. I don't have the bandwidth nor the space, but I would like to know if any of the changes that the XF86 peeps such as the modular Xserver made it into X11R6.5.1. Any one take a peek at this yet? Also nice is that dynamic resource modification now happens at the Xtoolkit layer, so you don't need to link in EditRes (or resource yer resources file). From my casual read of the release notes, this is a fairly minor update, with bug fixes primarily. Though I wished they *stated* what those bug fixes are outside of the tar files. Cheers, edward.

On: The World's Most Secure OS (?)

Bear in mind all the good work of the openbsd people can be so easily made for naught... by the installation of any of a number of ports.

Still, the fact there is a concerted effort on the OS level makes it possible to be tackle the security concerns at the applications level...

I say good job to the openbsd peeps.

Cheers,
edward.
