Yes, NetBSD did just release version 1.4 for several more 68k machines as well as PowerPCs, but does not support the Nubus Macs. More info can be found at NetBSD.org/Ports/macppc.
MkLinux was also gave me my first experience with installing and running Linux. I've really enjoyed the effort David Gatwood and others have put into the discussion groups and MkLinux.org.
Reportedly Boieng has shut down their mail servers until they could find a fix. Also hit M$ accordingly. heh, just going to get worse and worse isn't it...
Cool, thanks for pointing this out for me. I'm volunteering at a local school and have been wondering what to do about this.
By the way, does anyone know of a web browser that would allow us to login or use a prefs file so anyone could use any computer and send mail as themselves via the browsers mail function? Right now we are using Eudora and storing the prefs on a file server. Thanks
So we are either paranoid about the mighty Yugoslav army invading NYC or due to greed, we would love to get a part of that massive engine of industry that is Yugoslavia. Hmm...
After WWII, Yugoslavia was one of the few Eastern Block countries that was freely allowed to build up a strong industry. Since the crumbling of the "evil empire" using Yugoslavia as a buffer is no longer necessary. Efforts to destabilize their economy, health and education systems began during the Bush administration if not earlier.
The US has now pissed off yet another cultural region of Eastern Europe by trying to squish them under its thumb. My biggest fear now is losing a few of our (US) cities to some backpack nukes because of these political pissings.

I don't know about the rest of 'em, but I'm a long time Mac user (dual booting MkLinux for almost a year now), and I came across the story on Slashdot. A real quick check thru my favorite Mac sites doesn't have any mention of this poll.
Given that the MacOS is soon to move to a BSD base, I would imagine a lot of Mac fans are sampling the *nixes that are available and have gotten turned on to Slashdot.
Ever heard of voting with your feet? Why hand over control of an OS from one monopolistic power to another? There are other Systems you can use which offer more to their users.
I think all of this is necessary. Its part of why, despite a world bristling with weapons of terrifying power, we have gone without a global war for over 50 years.
Except for the several wars the US has waged upon Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, Yugoslavia and many others. Plus covert or economical battles against El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatamala and more.
So long as you can secure your communications if you really need to, I think you should accept that they watch everything. Heck, I'm glad they watch everything. I just think I should be able to too.
What ever happened to personal privacy? I will not accept that "they" are watching me in my own home. I will not let my children grow up fearful of thinking for themselves, as well as being afraid to voice they're opinions openly.
Most of us have the best defence of all: We're boring.
Your defence against privacy invasion is your dullness? Not only is that silly, but it is likely wrong. At least I'd like to believe I'm not boring. And there are several other intelligent people around me that I think are quite interesting. But I would NOT want to see them ferreted out because of their communications.
1) Sure they'll want your marketing data and so on, but if the user wants privacy then they can use non-intrusive apps, even if they have to pay.
2) Yeah you'll have to be hooked up to the net somehow, but my system that is online is pretty generic. What are they going to gleen from most people is stuff that websites already track.
3) I'm sure that the program would check for modified code. And how many users are actually going to hack it anyhow? A very small percentage who will probably get away with it but is it worth the effort?
I'm not a huge fan of ad banners but it is nice to have the option of using a program without shelling out the cash for it. Having a big enough monitor and a critical eye is good enough for me...
Some of the software I've seen like this will not allow you to minimize the window. This would defeat the whole purpose. For general users there would be no workaround and the banner window would always take up whatever screen real estate it was allocated. Trying to close the banner would exit the program.

Well, maybe it's not that bad, really. For most users, it's just a matter of going to the Recycle Bin and retrieving them.
That is not correct. From ZDnet...
When executed, the worm searches drives c: thru z: and selects files to destroy by making them zero bytes long, thus wiping out the data.
