Aethera is only available for Linux/i386 -- it
is not an open source project. Yes, you
can get most of the source, but there is a
a library required to build it, which is only
available for Linux/i386. Try it...
I tried to make a FreeBSD port of Aethera, and
discovered, it is impossible.
The Aethera's supposedly source tarball comes
with a few binary libraries. At least one of them,
according to the Kompany, is not "open-sourced".
Since the binaries available are only for Linux/x86, all other platforms are left out...
Conclusion, it's time to make a nice sourceforge page, where are all packages in the correct and demanded form. Make a nice.sh installer that downloads specific web font installer (that extracts and installs trough wine) and installs them to a system.
FreeBSD has
just that since 2001/01/20. And it seems, Debian had the
same idea, but pulled it out for some reason -- overreaction?
What happens to bed-time reading? None of the
devices I've seen so far are comfortable to fall
asleep with...
Also, I don't believe all of the decent
content is available in digital form. May be, it
is good to have the course materials paperless --
the new content, but the libraries should still
carry the old texts.
Finally, sometimes the pure knowledge, that a
book you are holding was printed and first read
100-200 years ago can be quite exciting and thought provoking... Not even a reprint would do
that, forget an electronic gizmo:-)

Thanks for clarification. It may help that
unfortunate Linux user I was replying to.
Count this as a flame-bait, but this IS the Linux' weak point. Once installed,
you need to scramble around for tools like this.
And this is not a general purpose software,
which is, understandably, maintained outside
of a particular OS,
but a Linux-specific tool, that, for some reason, is not available with the Linux itself.
No, I like my FreeBSD -- which is an entire
OS, not just a kernel, where the existing kernel features quickly get the user-land hooks to use them... Yada-yada-yada:-)

DSL modem (many of which use ethernet) and a regular LAN. I am told you can just put the modem on the LAN, but on my Linux gateway I could not make that work.
Works just fine here, although with FreeBSD.
I'm sure it would work with Linux too, but don't
know how exactly. On FreeBSD one network interface can have many addresses -- I have one
external (assigned by the ISP) and two internal
(10.0.1.x).
On Linux, you have to "clone" the interfaces to achieve that (eth0.0, eth0.1 ?)...
The DSL modem then goes into the switch together
with the rest of your network, under the assumption, that the ISP is smart enough not to
let the private-network packets through their
routers, so noone can target your private LAN
directly.
The firewall rules become quite complicated, though and by using two separate
physical interfaces you aleviate both issues:
having to rely on the ISP's wits and the firewall spaghetty.
I know, people think, the little NAT-routers
sold by everybody and their brother are more
secure, but they all have useability problems. Mostly their NAT implementations suck -- typicly, you can not ping or traceroute through them, sometimes ftp-ing is troublesome.
Prolonged idle tcp connections sometimes get closed out of the blue, etc.
My parents are both using FreeBSD. My mom mostly plays
games on the very old (dual) Pentium-100MHz. Vanilla X11
with twm and the Netscape-4.x are great.
My father is using Applix' Office suit on his old (dual) PentiumII-200MHz...
He also listens to a few European radio station, which broadcast
in Ukrainian and Russian over the Internet (BBC, Radio Liberty,
Doiche Welle (surely missspelled, sorry, German readers))
using the Linux version of RealPlayer. Netscape-4 and
Konqueror are his web-browsers...
You are not qualified for the job... There is not too much
OS specific stuff here, don't use "it's all Windows" as an
excuse.
Any decent tape drive comes with a backup software. NT server should include it too. Install the tape into
one of the machines (not necessarily the server -- could be
your machine) and tell it to back up all shares of all
computers on the network. (C$ -- the "hidden" exports of the C: drive on each machine is, probably, the best).
Instead of retaining an outside company, train the receptionist to change the tape daily and take the previous
full backup tape home. You may even put the tape
drive into the receptionist's machine. In my experience, this
people are the best for this -- meticulous and accurate, they
also tend to appreciate the trust, the "computer guy" -- you -- put into them. Just be sure they know not to store the tapes near microwave ovens, etc.
Creating organisms that have the potential to become human beings raises serious ethical questions that can't be easily discarded.
Yes it can and should be discarded. Just as easily as a used condom -- full of what
was pretty close to becoming the organism(s) with the potential you mention.

lives can be both improved and prolonged by this highly

All of the offered features are available in
KMail (KDE's main e-mail client) and other other imap-capable programs
(TkRat is
very nice, for instance). The much advertised
feature, that makes Evolution really stand out -- its compatibility with the Exchange's calendaring/scheduling is only available as part
of the proprietory "Ximian Connector", which is
not only not-free, but not even open source!
A well thought out hospital system would've had the pneumatic tubes going from the
farmacy to each floor's terminal (or multiple terminals per floor). This systems were quite popular for interbuilding deliveries
a while ago, but computer networks fazed them out -- except for some niches, because some things -- like what this robot is carrying around -- simply can not be e-mailed...
Like all hacks, getting this robot is easier to do (and grabs some limelight), but the good designed system this is not.
You would only add sites to the approval list if they didn't work without scripting, and you really needed to use them. Any Mozilla developers out there listening? Should I submit this to Bugzilla?
