The site also has general info about Installfests, and a few tips on running successful Installfests. Most of the site can be added to by users, so if you know of any Installfests or other hands-on gatherings, please drop on by and add them yourself. The site comes to you courtesy of the Sillicon Valley Linux Users Group and VA Research. Suggestions are welcome; please email me if you have any.

This agreement to bring commercial development tools to Linux is the latest in a series of applications that enhance the viability of the Linux OS. "Our work with Metrowerks helps to accelerate the adoption of Linux in the enterprise market," said Bob Young, CEO, Red Hat Software. "By making CodeWarrior's user-friendly development tools available, we will attract a broad base of software developers writing applications for the Red Hat platform." An Industry First Metrowerks' CodeWarrior is the first widely used, commercially available Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to be ported to Red Hat Linux. This comprehensive and integrated set of tools includes editors, browsers, project management facilities, compilers, debuggers and other development tools within a powerful and easy-to-use graphical development environment. The increased productivity provided by the CodeWarrior IDE reduces the time-to-market for all developers of third party applications. Those developers already using CodeWarrior on other platforms can adopt Red Hat Linux as their new platform without needing to learn a new tool set. "Red Hat Software has been a leader in open source software solutions. The combination of Red Hat and CodeWarrior responds to the demand from the developer community for mainstream, commercial software development tools for Red Hat Linux," said Jean Belanger, chairman and CEO, Metrowerks. One veteran user of CodeWarrior technology at National Instruments, Rob Dye, noted the importance of the combination of CodeWarrior with Linux: "As a longtime CodeWarrior user, I'm looking forward to having CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux. We recently released LabVIEW for Linux, and see Linux as an increasingly important platform. CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux will be a welcome addition to our toolset." Pricing and Availability The companies will release two separate products. CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux, GNU Edition, targets native Linux applications development using the CodeWarrior IDE and the GNU compiler and debugger technology. CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux, Professional Edition, will support Linux development using integrated compilers and debuggers from Metrowerks. Orders are being taken today for the initial release of CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux, GNU Edition, which will begin shipping in May. Priced at US$99, the product will include the CodeWarrior IDE using a GNU compiler and debugger. Orders may be placed via the Metrowerks website at www.metrowerks.com, by phone to Metrowerks at 800-377-5416, or by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For pricing and availability outside the USA, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Distributors and resellers are listed on www.metrowerks.com/buy. CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux, Professional Edition, will become available during the fourth calendar quarter of 1999. This advanced product, priced at US$449, includes integrated compilers and debuggers from Metrowerks for C, C++, and Java. The companies have entered into a distribution agreement by which Red Hat Software will provide CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux on a standalone basis, and will bundle and distribute CodeWarrior for Red Hat Linux with the Red Hat version of the Linux operating system. Product support will be available from Metrowerks. About Linux Linux is the cooperatively developed POSIX-oriented, multi-user, multi-tasking operating system used worldwide.

Siag is easy to use, yet infinitely flexible through multiple embedded interpreters and a plugin mechanism that allows other programs to run inside the main document. The supported interpreters are SIOD, Guile, Tcl and Python. Changes from version 3.1.7 include: - T1lib can be used to add fully scalable Type 1 fonts with kerning, ligatures, antialiasing and other features not usually found in X applications. Existing fonts can be leveraged and new ones easily installed without modifying X or installing "font servers". - Patch from Stephen Eglen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: when a file is saved, show its name in the status bar. - One-line fix in buffer.c to avoid accessing previously freed pointer.

The ADM Worm is capable of portscanning, wiping logs and other typical worm characteristics. In addition, the worm looks for any file with the .html suffix and overwrites the file with "The ADM Inet w0rm is here !" Apparently the worm was discovered on a Intel box running Red Hat 5.2, but it is unlikely that the vunerability is limited to only that distribution.

(The US equivalent was the Timex TS1000.) The ZX80 can also be emulated. There are actually three versions - Z81 (svgalib), xz81 (for X), and Z81txt (for any text-mode Linux console - it'll even work on MDA/CGA/EGA). Changes in v1.1: - - xz81 should support pretty much all display depths now. At any rate, it works for me at 1/8/15/16/24/32 bpp; 4-bit should work, but is currently untested. - - There's an important bugfix relating to glibc - previously it wouldn't have compiled! - - There are a few bugfixes in the emulation, meaning that a couple of games which didn't work before (e.g. Artic's "ZX Galaxians") do now. Thanks to Claudio Carlquist for pointing out one of these bugs. - - Z81 now uses svgalib's raw keyboard support rather than rawkey. - - I'm including yet another naff ZX81 PD game I wrote :-) - `mine81', a minesweeper clone. Here's the LSM entry: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Begin3 Title: Z81 Version: 1.1 Entered-date: 11MAR99 Description: Z81/Z81txt/xz81 are ZX81 (TS1000) and ZX80 emulators for (respectively) svgalib, text mode, and X. They load/save Xtender-format .P files, and support the ZX81's pseudo-hi-res mode. A few ZX81-related utils, GIFs of the keyboard layout, two PD tetris clones, a PD minesweeper clone, and a pear tree are included. (Just add partridge.) Though I (rjm) wrote Z81 etc., I give Ian main author credit as I used his Z80 emulation (from his excellent `xz80' ZX Spectrum emulator), which is the most difficult bit, not to mention being half the code. :-) (Please don't contact Ian in relation to Z81; I just used his code, he wasn't otherwise involved.

What is it? - ------------ aRts is an analog realtime synthesizer which is completely modular. You can create sounds & music (realtime midi synthesis) using small modules like oscillators for creating waveforms, various filters, modules for playing data on your speakers, mixers, faders,... You can build your complete setup with the gui of the system under KDE. The aRts server is controlled via CORBA. This design is intended to let other applications use aRts as synthesizer (or filter provider) and working together in the creation of music. Requirements: - ------------- mico, KDE Changes since arts-0.2.6: - ------------------------- :: major performance improvements :: - ArtsBuilder AutoRouting is now a lot more usable (faster, more responsive): now uses a second thread; some optimizations on the init of the routing are also new. - Internal flowsystem changed, this means aRts is *a lot faster* now, sometimes factors of 3-5 are realistic!! :: midi synthesis rewritten, new structural elements :: - Publishing structures and retrieving back from server. - Structure interfaces. - New dynamic midi synthesis (instruments are just instiated and removed on the fly, as the midi events come in... well: read the docs :). :: major documentation improvements :: - The whole documentation is now available as SGML and in the online help of artsbuilder. - All modules are documented. - There is a tutorial. :: new modules :: - Synth_PLAY_WAV module to play simple wav files (currently requires libaudiofile though). - New filter (SHELVE_CUTOFF) added, extremely useful when using Synth_WAVE_TRI oscillators. - Synth_CDELAY for constant delay (require less cpu time and work with recursive loops in the new flow system style). :: improved CORBA interface :: - New functions due to publishing and retrieving structure definition (see advanced midi synthesis). - Debugging is now runtime configurable (aRts simply performs better without printing debugging infos all the time ;). - Lots of other stuff (Cycles, RingBuffer sizes,...) is also runtime configurable (use artsshell to do so). - Some more Informations about resource usage are exported via CORBA. (Number of active modules, number of buffers/bytes in buffers etc). :: small fixes :: - Icons will now be installed with arts and loaded. - Fixed compilation issues with some egcs releases (so SuSE 6.0 users should finally be able to compile it again).
