Just got through to the Linux news section of the current c't magazine (delivered on Saturday 18/02). SUSE Linux 10.1 got a section about being delayed and missing its release during the CeBIT show.
On the positive side Novell got a section on Xgl and Compiz (but using the old url: http://www.opensuse.org/xgl). However their was also critiscism about the fact that Compiz was written "behind closed doors", so that, for example, Gnome developers had no influence on its design. And finally (or firstly, I've actually written these in reverse order to the way they are printed :-P), the Kernel Log section mentions the removal of non-GPL USB drivers from the Linux Kernel, with AVM getting its nose in. The sub-title for the piece: "A change in the Kernel has meant the near exclusion/removal of AVM USB devices from Linux." ("Eine Änderung im Kernel hätte beinahe das Aus für die USB-Geräte von AVM unter Linux bedeutet.") "An employee of AVM critiscised [the change], saying that it is now not possible to provide proprietary USB-drivers; AVM must therefore stop support for its own USB devices." There is no mention in this article of SUSE BTW, just the Linux Kernel development and AVM, although they do mention that it is possible for USB devices to be written in "userland". -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this. It's not like lightning or earthquakes. We've got a bad thing made by men, and by God that's something we can change." - The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
