I learned of this poster from one of my mentors years back. After searching years for it, I found a copy for sale on ebay. Now it sits in my office paying homage to the greatness of *nix.
The drawing is by Gary Overacre and was commisioned by UNITECH (now out of business I believe). A link to the an online version is here ( http://www.garyoveracre.com/portfolio/10.html ).

Also, how about 365 day calendars
on
IT Reference Posters?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
On a similar note to the reference posters, I have been seeking a "365 day" flip page calendar with *nix tips for a long time. At one point I even suggested it to Oreilly, as they already have the reference material (ex: Unix Power Tools) from which to populate the calendar. Such a calendar would have a *nix tip or command for every day of the year, much like the cartoon (ex: Far Side) calendars that are often seen.
Why bother with sony (one of the bad guy companies), when there is already a great hard drive solution on the market that is cheaper, and more compatible than the alternatives. I've had my rio karma for almost a month now (after years of searching for a viable portable music player), and I have no regrets. I can easily upload music to it from my linux environment, the "nipple" (:-D) control is easier to use than the ipod, and it plays all my ogg-vorbis (and flac also if I had any) files with no problems!
I've been looking for that past several years for a decent portable music player... and finally found one which I'm happy with. So yeah, I've got "too much of a hard on about a little box of hardware".
Forget the ipod, the Rio Karma is wonderful from a GNU/Linux users perspective!
It plays all my ogg files without problems (a friends iriver could only handle lower bitrate ogg files).
I could upload music to it quickly and easily from my linux desktop using their java gui and connecting to the rio karma across my lan.
As I use this player to drive my car speakers (I only have an amp, no head unit), it was very important that the interface be user friendly. This is where I had seen the ipod shine, and where I was doubtful about getting the rio karma (as I knew no owners of one and had not seen a showroom model). However I (and several passengers) found the rio karma interface to be as friendly, if not more so, than the ipod.
The rio karma was cheaper than the ipod, has more features, and is more cross platform. I have no regrets and strongly recomend it to music fans.
Interesting, VIA is announcing yet more new products...
Yet, I've been looking for the past several weeks (and other posts on the Internet go as far back as Nov of 2003) for VIA's latest generation Athlon XP chipset KT880 via kt880... yet other than VIAs website, it's nowhere to be seen!!!
OpenSSL is maintained by OpenSSL core members: Ralf S. Engelschall, Ben Laurie, Mark J. Cox, Dr. Stephen Henson, and others developers. [openssl.org]
OpenSSH was written by OpenBSD members (Theo de Raadt, Niels Provos, Markus Friedl, Dug Song, and others). OpenSSH uses OpenSSL as a cryptographic library source (it is highly optimized for many processors).
Not quite.
From the debian ssh package readme:
Although this package is widely referred to as OpenSSH, it is actually
a branch of an early version of ssh which has been tidied up by the
OpenBSD folks.
So 'OpenSSH' was originally witten by Tatu Ylonen and added to by Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt,
and Dug Song.

None of these men evoke the same response as Stallman. Mention RMS in a Linux crowd and you'll find people who love him, hate him, and those who simply roll their eyes
Mentioning ESR's name will get the those responses too. The only real difference is that if you call ESR and RMS whacko s to their faces, Stallman isn't likely to shoot you.

Personally I find I have little time/interest for anything other than technical manuals... but I find this change in publishing paradigms interesting and would like to initially support it.
However, Stephen King is only working with Amazon to rake in funds for his novel, and that conflicts with the boycott called upon amazon.

Rob and others at slashdot. I (and so far the other posts) are happy for your success...
But, regardless of the fact that you state "Creative control of Slashdot will remain where it always has been"... I find it difficult to believe that slashdot can really remain as independant as it was (especially when it was completely self run). I (and surely many others) come to slashdot because of the independant perspective presented by the editors and next by the readers. The quality/independance of the editors has already gone down since the andover purchase, I fear what will happen now that slashdot it owned by valinux...

Could someone explain the logic in the XFree96 versioning numbers?

Your negative comentary probably makes the linux community as a whole seem ungrateful, especially since FOX apologized and commited to making changes. You have a privelage and a responsibility with your ability to write comments on the front page of slashdot.
