Personally, at all the DTP related places I've worked as an admin - everyone moved away from framemaker quite some time ago to make room for other products.
This might just be my experience, but as I see it, this will be no critical blow.
Good to know: One should not trust that HP figures for sold linux desktops represents actual new linux users.
As there is no windows license fee with the machines, my organisation buys (last batch around 15000 units) these configurations and then use our select/corporate windows license on them. This cuts us a great deal of costs from the otherwise mandatory per. computer windows license.
Also, after you read my other reply, I'd like to dement "Not only is it not particularly informative in any sense, it is also basically wrong." with that post.
Basically I've had much better experience with the new kernel module loader, I guess YMMV.
Of course the boot time is dependant on what actualy takes place, although this is a actual cut down boot time I've experience with a minimal amount of starting daemons (sshd, apache 1.3, qmail). But as before, I havn't used a stopwatch and it will work differently for different platforms and configrations.
Well for the non technical crowd I was thinking if sparing them a 5 row explaination, but I ripped it from the kernel config help so people like yourself that need it down basic can get a explaination:
CONFIG_PREEMPT: This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is under load. Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded or real-time system.
With the preemptive kernel option enabled and the kernel module autoloader in 2.6 it does all you would ever need: Loads any modules you need Lets you do tasks preemtpively Boots in a much shorter time (from 2.4.23's 35 sec to ~14 sec in my case)
It's also rock solid in my experience now, a good sound kernel choice that will fit virtually all workstations =)
Vendors like D-link (who are a major home-user internet router, switches, wlan gateways etc vendor) has already started since some time a BPL modem manufacturing line. The modems are available for import from china currently, and they're quite affordable.
Just though it might be interesting, as the technology is already in use in some parts of the world so that everything is "there" that needs to be there for it to be implented.
Here's some facts about the zip file that's on the run:
The zip file is 208 mb (213 748 207 bytes) All the files with the "letts to children.eml" etc names are _completely_ empty. All files are commented, some are said to be public implention examples while others got "semi public" or no note of being pubblic in the headers. It doesn't really have any comments with personal twists etc, just facts from what I observed this far. It only includes the OS stuff (e.g. mplayer/iis/ie isn't there in full or at all)
.. "that's neat, but if that would have been a standard feature everyone would have said it sucked", on the other hand as it's not designed to play video, it's neat alright.
In Sweden (Europe) around two years ago some man in his 20ies was actually charged and found guilty to direct linking to illegally hosted copyrighted music - ven though he never had anything to do with the files themselves. He got away pretty easy money and time wise but still it set an example here what is legal and what isn't.
I coulden't find a story as it was a while ago, but I'm sure some Nordic reader here remembers it?
Hehe, I guess he's in the club-old then. Luckily, the HP printer hooks up to the old Mac as it got a Localtalk port via it's network expansion card (that the RJ45 connector is broken on, henche why it's connected to the Mac and not directly to the LAN)...
Now, if someone gives me a G4 and a Keyspan programmer - I'd be the happy programmer to fix a functional driver.
I've got a Macintosh IIx (16 Mhz, 80 MB SCSI hd, 8 MB ram) setted up with OpenBSD running my printserver for my Laserjet 4 MV from HP and my very very old Apple StyleWriter II that still prints illustrations and such beautifully.
Other than that... I've also got a Mac SE/30 with NetBSD that isn't in use... I'm thinking of remaking on old PC-1 from IBM (7 mhz) I got in the basement to something fun though.
When I wired up 5 60MB SCSI-25 drives back in the day to get a whooping capacity of 5x60MB...
And still that amount of data is almost half of one of today's most popular RO mediums.. =)
But none the less, nice article and with the disk prices these day's it's getting closer within rage for many of the people that spend that much on electronics... I sure do =P
This client has been out for quite some time already as a download. It is clearly separated not beeing a 'required' update on windows update just like it says in the article, but it's also mentioned as a "download" on windows update and not a "update".
There is no way Britney and the other stars could make it singing live (when they do, which seems seldom enough) and sound completely different in the interviews before and after the concert but be like on the record on stage.
Just get a muffin and a cup of tea, that seemed to work fine in the hitchikers guide to the galaxy as for probabilistic designs. Although don't try it out at too massive starships and such, as we've learned that it could be an bad idea (ref. starship titanic).
I've installed the "unstable" samba 3.0RC1 packages under my Debian 2.4.20 system and I have to say, it works pretty well.
I've only experienced a few cases of "lock outs" of all clients, the first time because the init script didden't sucessfully kill all smbd's before starting new ones and the second time... Who knows, a restart of it helped fine anyway.
Other than that it seems pretty good for me with W98/W2K/XP Pro clients using different laguages, except for some random slowdowns in access to it but nothing major.
Also, that build is compiled with GCC-3.3 if anyone's interested in that.
Thinking that there has already for some time been a few "non-secret" exploits floating around in the wild for this it was just a matter of time.
So I guess all windows security holes will lead to worms in the future? Maybe they should start calling heavy-load proof networks "worm-load proof" instead?;)
That already got broadband over powerlines and the people living close to them? The technology is in use in Sweden and Germany plus other places, anyone from there that got it that can give us some feedback this?

Someone forgot to put up the "warning: NYT (free reg. req. bla bla bla)" thingy. Now I wasted 4 secs on a registration dialog hehehe =).

Got questions, just ask.
Get 5-7 mac os x servers and netboot and play unsynched video on a few hundred imacs ;) Hey, it worked for apple

a sensibile worm, although, it will be interesting to see how many anti-virus companies will classify this as a "threat" or not, don't you think?
;).
- It is a worm by nature, but it also does good but without the user's authorization... Sounds a bit like automatic windows update gone postal
