The 2.4.0-test series of kernels have drivers for the pdc20265, and apparently RH7.0 has a test image of the kernel, so there is a pretty decent chance the install will support the card. If not then I will be quite disapointed. I have been running with test7 and test8 for the last few weeks and I have found it to be very stable.
As a Canadian, I have read and heard about how many states now have legalized Marijuana Use for the treatment of illnesses. Also, there are about 50 Canadians who have received special permission from the Health Department to consume it for the treatment diseases ranging from Multiple Sclerosis to Aids.
One of the most commonly cited problems for these people who have marijuana prescribed for them, at least here in Canada, is that it is hard to get a good supply of it. Sure they could get it from their local dealer, however that would be illegal and these are presumably law abiding citizens, since they have gone to the trouble to get legal prescriptions for marijuana.
Some may buy it from Medical Marijuana Clubs, however their packages are frequently intercepted by the RCMP, the Post Office, or other members of the Police. Also, quality control is important, because these people aren't looking for the best buzz, or the most trippy side of the drug, they are looking for it's pain-killing, or hunger inducing qualities (the munchies).
This bill is going to make it harder for the legal use of Marijuana to be done in a legal way. It will make it harder to spread information about how to grow the best kind for medical consumption, it will also make it harder for people to learn how to grow their own. People growing their own marijuana for their legal consumption will help remove the undesirable element (the dealers and the rest of the underworld) from the treatment of their medical condition.
The information that this law will also make it illegal for cannabis clubs to share information with each other in the perfection of the treatments. It also will hurt the scientific study that is currently being done both in Canada and in the USA into the medical qualities of marijuana, and possibly also into the growing industry of making things like clothes and paper out of hemp.
What this bill does appear to be is a way for the US federal government to fight back against states that have legalized medical use.
Of course, what will most likely happen is that most of the information about making drugs will simply move offshore.
In fact it is simply going to hurt the USA's interests, as it will be even further behind countries like Canada which are said to grow the best marijuana in the world. (BC!) I expect it is only a matter of time before the growing of marijuana for medical use becomes big business controlled by foreign multi-national pharmaceutical companies.
By distributing this knowledge to people and farmers, it will perhaps lead to more competition, and perhaps, God willing, the removal of the illegal underworld side of the distribution of a simple plant.
Our shop currently develops for Windows 98, NT, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, BSD, Irix, plus a few other platforms. Currently we use a combination of PVCS and SourceSafe. Yes, we know these tools are horrible.
PVCS: Awkward, with very limited query ability. Only submitters of change requests can close them, no security (plain text http transfers), etc.
SourceSafe: - not safe at all It's database is stored in tens of thousands of files, 1 file missing and the database integrity is lost. (yes this has happened to us, thank god for backups). Also, good luck trying to access it from any platform other than Windows. This particularily hurts me in that I have 1 Windows box whose sole purpose is accessing SourceSafe.(I also have 5 Solaris boxes and 2 linux machines).
We are currently moving to CCC/Harvest by Computer Associates. I understand it has clients for HP-UX, Windows, Irix, and Solaris. I would be interested in what your experiences with this are?
