*** SEUL in the press EDN Access has their cover story on Linux. SEUL is mentioned prominently. "Perhaps the best hope for Linux as a PC operating system will emerge from the Simple End User Linux (SEUL, www.seul.org) project. The volunteers on that project are dedicated to making installation of the OS, drivers, and applications as simple as Windows. The Web site currently has an alpha-test release but is far from a Linux distribution truly targeted at the masses." Also mentioned are the gEDA project and the FreeHDL project. (Apparently the author is an engineer so he thought they were really cool.) http://www.ednmag.com/ednmag/reg/1999/042999/cs.htm *** New project hosting/updates We are now hosting development of GTuner (a highly configurable radio card tuner for Linux), DrGEO (interactive geometry application), and QVocab (vocabulary program). http://gtuner.seul.org/ http://drgeo.seul.org/ http://qvocab.seul.org/ We've also created a list for Nightfall, an interactive educational astronomy application. http://www.lsw.uni-heidelberg.de/~rwichman/Nightfall.html http://www.seul.org/archives/nightfall-l/ WXftp 0.4.4 is out, at http://www.wxftp.seul.org/ *** gEDA (the GNU Electronic Design Automation project): The current gEDA tarball version is 19990516, which includes the usual bunch of bug fixes, integration of contributed symbols, integration of the verilog backend, integration of Jamil's latest gschcheck, and integration of the latest gmk_sym: http://www.geda.seul.org/download.html Also, Stephen Williams has made available Icarus Verilog, a GPLed Verilog compiler: http://www.geda.seul.org/tools/verilog/index.html *** LaetOS, www.laetos.org We've been working with LaetOS (www.laetos.org), a Debian-based end-user distrib project, to make sure the current end-user distribution projects don't overlap much in their work. LaetOS has some useful tools such as a hardware detection program and an (alpha) installer. === SEUL-Announce list, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===
