This deal uses the SuSe ditro which is now
based on United Linux. As everyone knows,
East and West Germany united a few years ago.
They moved the capital back to Berlin which
used to be a divided city.
Maybe this one deal alone is enough to keep
SuSe in business and by extension United Linux.
I wonder when the government of the United
states of America will get on the bus.
I did a search for some Linux.iso's and rpm's on Gnutella and didn't find much. When I downloaded them from ftp sites it took days. So I have put
a bunch of rpm's and iso's Gnutella. I'll see if there are any hits. This seems like a good (non-illegal) use of P2P.
So in the end (of course, this isn't really the end)
greed does Gates in. If they had not pursued embedded markets - where let's face it Windows doesn't belong anyway - then they would not have advertised Windows'
modularity. Now they'll have to pay the price.
Another possible example is Expedia (MS's travel agency - which I boycott for that reason). If I was
a CIO for an online travel agency why would uses a competitor's OS. Sun + Oracle / Linux + PostgreSQL
would be the obvious choices. Let's hope MS's greed
makes them loose all IT in this sector.
Thanks for the tip. Here's Babblefish translation of the key page.
(I love the last paragraph)
6 de Marzo de 2002, Un dia Trascendental para la Historia del Software en el Peru
Forum of the Project of Law 1609 on Uso de Software Libre in
the Organizations You publish of the Peruvian State
The Congress of the Republica of Peru fu & eacute the scene,
once again, of one of the important events but for the Peruvians, the
attendance of p & uacuteblico pleasingly surpassed the espectativas of
the tie people to the project. The interest on the subject put in
manifesto when filling the hall Raul Porras Barrenechea of the
Congress him Republic, to the point that it had to qualify mesanine of
the third floor, people continued arriving even though the forum
empezo with a little from delay.
One of ours first pleasing surprises fué without a doubt to
listen to the words of Mr. President of the Congress Carlos
Ferrero who nonsingle showed interest in the subject, but
that demostro to know it and I do not doubt in showing that it was an
alternative that without a doubt provocaria an intense debate in the
Plenary session.
Immediately afterwards the words of congressmen Gloria Helfer
and Pedro Morales were for showing the situation of lack of means in
which this submerged our Country, with an emphasis in which the people
are few who have access to the technology. He is asi as we see the
Inter & eacutes that the subject in the congress has waked up, since
to his turn they respectively touched to the subject from the optica
of education and defense of the consumer, commissions that direct at
the moment.
The exhibition of the Dr Edgar Villanueva presented/displayed
the project and located to the assistants in the Peruvian computer
science reality where the illegality of Software predominates, thus
seeing in the project a viable alternative nonsingle the problems of
licensing, but deficit of knowledge of tecnologias of end to the at
the moment single being Users
of Propietary software
and erroneamente to adopt the supposed advantages of & eacuteste like
estandar of the computer science industry.
Enrique Chaparro, Consultant the International - GNU, mostro
a universal reality of free software. " free software is not free,
this is single bonus pack, free software is safe, based on true
standards, of high quality and of an impressive versatility, this is
the reason for which many many companies that do not have ningun
economic problem prefer it, being single cost one but of the
advantages that offers ", it expressed.
To his turn the Dean of the Faculty of Industrial Ingenieria
and Systems gives the National University of Ingenieria, emphasized
the paper of the universities as centers of professional formation and
recognized that the way of the knowledge to the one of users of the
knowledge has been turned aside, emphasized the support of his
institution to the project.
The INEI also was present in the day indicating precise that
they estan working in a plan of implementation of free software in the
state organizations, because they recognize that it is an important
subject.
Finally, Jesus Marquina closed the exhibitions being thankful
the concurrence and doing a brief mention to that this project this
being supported of independent way by people and organizations, reason
why solicitd that the state takes greater interest and him of the
corresponding support.
The ceremony closed with words of gratefulness of congressman
Edgar Villanueva and thus a page was written in the history of
software in Peru.
I've heard the new VM is really good.
RedHat 7.2 has kernel 2.4.9-31 - I read in
this article and elsewhere that 2.4.10+
has the new VM is much nicer. I wanna have it!
"Still, it is an amazing achievement to be able to support different languages on the same runtime, right? I certainly think it is, but others would disagree."
I'm sure others have made this point but...
All languages on a given computer run on the same instruction set. So -yeah- I disagree.
I don't know for sure...but it seems that Microsoft is becoming more of a tech investment company more than a software company. Every tech project that comes along seems to have some money from them. This is making them more undefeatable - even if Linux takes over the desktop someday - MSFT will still be around being annoying.
"Given that Microsoft's.Net Passport is the heart of Windows XP, Microsoft's new Operating System that was officially launched on October 25, 2001, Catavault, a software company addressing online identification and authentication, unfortunately finds itself in the cross-hairs of the most powerful software company in the world."
Most companies don't have most of their docs
on internal websites - they are on Network Drives.
Zillions of "folders" full of ".doc" files - yuck.
Since it isn't hmtl there are no links I wonder
how Google sould deal with that.
Right away the first screenshot says "block devices"
and gives info about the disks on the system.
This is not user-friendly language.
I would have expected better from a version 3.
They subsidize the cost of the box hoping
to regain the money when you buy games.
If you use the emulater you save them then
cost to helping you buy the box!!
Slashdot Mirror
The bridge to Prince Edward Island in Canada is 13km. Over twice the distance.
Maybe this one deal alone is enough to keep SuSe in business and by extension United Linux.
I wonder when the government of the United states of America will get on the bus.
I mentioned something like that yesterday
I did a search for some Linux .iso's and rpm's on Gnutella and didn't find much. When I downloaded them from ftp sites it took days. So I have put
a bunch of rpm's and iso's Gnutella. I'll see if there are any hits. This seems like a good (non-illegal) use of P2P.
So they are trying to take credit for doing this "open" standard.
Another possible example is Expedia (MS's travel agency - which I boycott for that reason). If I was a CIO for an online travel agency why would uses a competitor's OS. Sun + Oracle / Linux + PostgreSQL would be the obvious choices. Let's hope MS's greed makes them loose all IT in this sector.

Only fitting since Carnivore evoled out of Omnivore
According to the diagram, 1.0 should be released
around 2002 May 1. Or did I read it wrong?
And Sputnik is done in Linux!
Well, that's better than my old watch with WIRED connectivity!
I've heard the new VM is really good. RedHat 7.2 has kernel 2.4.9-31 - I read in this article and elsewhere that 2.4.10+ has the new VM is much nicer. I wanna have it!
How about using it in Klingon
I'm sure others have made this point but... All languages on a given computer run on the same instruction set.
So -yeah- I disagree.
Do you want Congress passing laws about the content of e-mail??!! Spam is anoying but government inference would be way worse.
And, of course, there is that little problem of Congress not having much control outside the USA.)
I don't know for sure...but it seems that Microsoft is becoming more of a tech investment company more than a software company. Every tech project that comes along seems to have some money from them. This is making them more undefeatable - even if Linux takes over the desktop someday - MSFT will still be around being annoying.

You fill in the missing data
Why not just refuse to accept mail that isn't PGP-signed?
