perl 5.60 php 4.01 - speed boost over version 3 mysql - now open source, no longer just in power tools XFree86 4.01 - speed boost over version 3 enterprise kernel - raw filesystems and other performance patches kde 1.91 - beta for 2.0, includes new browser kde office 1.91
And what's missing:

Sendmail and staroffice aren't beta and should have gone into this release, the rest are probably too bleeding edge. Anyone think of anything I've missed?
There's also the fact that ISP have to pay for whatever kit is to be intalled. Hmmm, 4 more rack units, another leased line. They've said the govt. may "at the discretion of the sec. of state" provide financial assistance, then again, they may not.
The beeb are in trouble over their online news service. While the govt. pays for them to put correspondednts all over the world, they have very strict rules on what they can do. The money is taxpayer's money. They got into some hot water with the regulators for doing a synication deal with yahoo, basically people were worried that their taxes were being used for a commercial venture. There's also a competition issue. The Register ran an article on it here.
Last time I used an object cache with Apache was Squid. Setup wasn't too bad, you bind Squid to port 80 and it passes any requests for dynamic pages to Apache. Is tux going to follow the same kind of setup? Tux looks nice, but there aren't many people who can live without mod_php/mod_perl or mod_ssl. How is this going to work with Apache now, and in the future?
Internet cafes see a lot of people using telnet to access university accounts during holidays. Until the ubiquitous Windows-based net cafes around the world all get ssh, this is going to piss some people off.
Besides which, university accounts ought to have decent security to protect root. So there are a few dodgy logins here and there. It's worth it just to be able to read your email anywhere.
The US can't act unilaterally legislate this away. It's gotten too international for a single government to be able to call the shots. The UK govt. wants to eavesdrop every packet passing its shores, the French want to stop anyone from posting racial hatred material, while the States encourage it under the first ammendment. This traffic is too crossborder to police. Maybe Burma has the right idea: total ban. Can you imagine the whole planet aggreeing on the IP rights of Sony and Disney and Time Warner? Me neither.
Socialism is an old European tradition. GB Shaw, Oscar Wilde (champagne socialism), the Fabian movement, to name just a few English varities. Strangely, France has a socialist Prime Minister now, as does the UK. In theory anyway.
I think the US dictionary must have it's own defenition of socialism.
It's not just email. If you can't prove to the police you never had an encryption, key you can be inprisoned for 2 years. "I forgot" is not an excuse. Guilty until proven innocent. Expect this one to be overturned at the European Court of Hunman Rights.
Has anyone any experience of running it from Linux? I couldn't get it to bind to the right port.
Oh, if it's any comfort to people using Linux as a client, QT sucks on OS-X so far. I don't think they've quite got the hang of unix yet. (Yeah, A/UX, MKlinux, Mac application environment for Solaris, various attempts at OS-X, but they've never ported a native QT client to any unixes)
Our PowerPoint replacement: an overhead(tm) projector, with pen and acetate. This innovative platform-independent solution interoperates with all major OS's. Extensive research has shown that Powerpoint users don't understand the difference between serif and sans serif, or why proportional fonts don't need two spaces after a full stop. We have concluded from this that graphics software is superfluous to requirements for this group of users. Our new solution is fantastic for charts and diagrams. Time-to-presentation is slashed, and productivity maximised. We only wish we made the change sooner.
Linux is monolithic. Tru64 uses a microkernel. Compaq used to let you try out their servers (a 30 day shell account) over at testdrive.compaq.com. Not sure if they still do it.
Quite a few international news sites are banned there. How? Not sure, I think they may stop traffic at the router level. They can (and do) police every net cafe, and every server farm. My girlfriend just got back from there. A while back it used to be possible to get www2.bbc.co.uk, but then they got wise to that. Does anyone know if you can get around it by using proxy servers outside China?
Since there are no damages, the copyright issue is substantially weakened. Basically, I don't think M$ has a prayer.
The damage would be if a Win2k compatible Samba came out. This code on Slashdot makes it more likley. MS are very pissed off about Samba and will do anything to regain their hold on workgroup file servers. MS want the right to a monopoly on Win2k filservers, and look like they'll keep it, at least until it's been establised that Samba can use what was posted on Slashdot.

They also had some inventory problems, selling summer clothes in winter. Smart.
I would like to buy a Sony Vaio. I would like it with Linux. 1) No retailer will offer me a refund for Windows. 2) Sony will not offer me a refund for Windows. 3) Microsoft will not offer me a refund for software which I do not use. They say I should chase Sony, as they sold the OS to Sony, not to me.
Good point about Netscape not being a direct competitor with MS. But whichever way you silce it, the computer OS market, including servers, Macs and the rest, is a MS market. 80% is well above the market share you need to start monopoly proceedings. The case for Netscape may be bad, but for the states, who represent consumers, there is still a case to answer. (IANAL, in case you hadn't guessed.)
Could it be that France is just opposed to policing actions (as opposed to thoughts) of any kind?
France opposed to policing actions? They love it. They have 2 police services, one run by local government, another at the national level by the Ministry of Defence. Mean bastards. That's not including various French spook agencies. What they hate is having others police them. As one of their more pompous presidents said, "France would not be France without being great." Having CIA crawling around their shores is a perfect way to piss them off them.
Aqua doesn't run under X11. They rely on a window manager that uses Adobe PostScript (so I can't imagine it GPL'd).
My guess is that with Darwin Apple are looking a) to get everything linux/GNU onto Mac and b) get apple/next technologies like quicktime server and netinfo more accepted by other unices.
Like the demigods who wrote the constitution forsaw the invention of the Uzi, the Internet etc. If they had, you can bet they would have changed a few things to stop morons like you wandering into Seven-11 with a concealed automatic weapon.
But it's my constitutional right! I didn't realise I had the safety off officer.
Slashdot Mirror
Looks good. At this stage caution does make sense, guess we'll just have to wait.
What happened to libsafe? There was an article on it on RedHat's site, how it was going in to the next version.
Also, any plans for including analog for going through httpd logs? Very usefull.
Here's what's new about RH 7.0:
perl 5.60
php 4.01 - speed boost over version 3
mysql - now open source, no longer just in power tools
XFree86 4.01 - speed boost over version 3
enterprise kernel - raw filesystems and other performance patches
kde 1.91 - beta for 2.0, includes new browser
kde office 1.91
And what's missing:
sendmail 8.11 - crypto smtp
kernel 2.4test5ac - decent smp performance
tux 1.0 - very fast RedHat kernel web server
apache 2.0pre4
bind 9.0 - major rewrite
staroffice - now it's open source
LVM
reiserfs

How about Netinfo, a kind of Sun NIS copy from the Next days which is now open source? Anyone remeber how to use that?

Does Outlook support APOP? How does one enable it, and what is "always send secure password" about?
Great post. I don't mean to flame, but...

This url has source. If you haven't already you'll have to register for a password with Apple.

I support the death penalty for children too. Eight last year I think. A great source of pride.
