Here is a good article by Tom Adelstein entitled: "Linux in Government: Will
Schwarzenegger Terminate Windows?"which had appeared in the Linux Journal
available at http://new.linuxjournal.com/node/7750
Its worth a read.

Dear Friends,
Sorry for all this confusion. Yes, it is a fake link much to my embarrassment.
In fact I got a mail from the "RedHat team", which I know now way someone else
posing as RedHat. And I had no doubts at that moment about the credibility of
the alert. SO I just passed it on without even bothering to check it out first.
Guys, please accept my apologies for the confusion and trouble this has caused.
It is surprising and alarming that spam can go that far.
With regards,
-Tarun

Ya I admit, its a fake link. Actually this news has been floating all
around the internet and it seems quite a bit difficult to find
genuinity of the messages. Be warned that there are no updates as such
because this hasn't been generated by fedora ppl.
You can read more about it at:

SCO stock plummeted to lowest price since it filed IBM suit
The SCO Group's stock tumbled Monday to lows not seen since before it made
international headlines by filing a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against IBM 19
months ago. SCO shares last traded for so little on March 18, 2003 - a week
before the company sued IBM in Salt Lake City's U.S. District Court. SCO's stock
- which went for $3.84 per share entering October - has now lost 83 percent of
its value since Jan. 6 of this year, when it closed at $18.19.

Hey guys,
Here's a good news for Windoze programmers of .Net..
ASP.Net is Microsoft's platform for developing Web
applications. Until recently every ASP.Net application
was executable only under a same Microsoft-developed
runtime environment and its Internet Information
Server Web server. In late June Novell released the
first major version of Mono, an open source
implementation of the .Net framework that lets you
execute .Net applications on Linux and the Apache Web
server. Here's how you can begin using Mono and its
ancillary tools XSP and mod_mono.

Dear User Group coordinators and members,
On behalf of Linux Bangalore/2004 (LB/2004) organisers, we invite your
participation in the LB/2004 conference at Bangalore between Dec 1 and
3, 2004. More details at http://linux-bangalore.org/2004.
You may already be aware that we have been organising the Linux
Bangalore Conference for the last three years and all the events have
been very successful in the local community reach and knowledge
dissemination. More details about the previous events are at
http://linux-bangalore.org/2003,http://linux-bangalore.org/2002 and
http://linux-bangalore.org/2001.
Your participation in LB/2004 will be of immense importance to the the
Free and Open Source Software community, since it would help the User
Groups in India to meet physically and exchange notes and ideas at a
common place.
You could participate in several ways in addition to attending the
conference, as such. Here are a few:
1. Showcase the efforts of your LUG (send a request for floor space
at the conference venue to the managers at lb4-info at
linux-bangalore.org).
2. Participate in sessions involving all User Groups, to discuss
how to your User Groups have been active, what issues you have come
across (and possibly how you resolved them), how to improve the
quality of user group meets, etc.
3. Talk about LB/2004 at your User Group meets and encourage
speakers to give talks or conduct tutorials at LB/2004. (Each such
talk/tutorial proposal will be evaluated by a panel of experts).
4. Physically volunteer help at the venue
5. Coordinate and conduct BoFs.
6. Any other activity in coordination with the conference committee
In addition, the delegate registration will capture User Group
affiliations as well, allowing us to get people together and talking,
to quickly identify a member of a particular User Group if some other
delegate wants to get in touch, etc.
Do let us know how you plan to participate. The community is keen to
have your User Group participate and interact with other User Groups
and their members.
Please do get in touch with us with your participation plan so we are
able to plan resources for your User Group, in advance. You can
contact us at lb4-info at linux-bangalore.org
We look forward to meeting up with you!
For the Linux Bangalore/2004 Team,
Kartik N

This is a branch to the ongoing thread regarding Google's Desktop Search engine.
Friends, probably we may not have to wait for Google to act. The good news is
here. Developers of the open-source Linux desktop environment KDE have announced
plans to simplify searching for files on the KDE desktop by adding a
Google-style search feature. The next version of KDE, which will either be
called 3.4 or 4, and is likely to be released within 18 months, is expected to
include the new search feature. Aaron Seigo, a KDE developer, said that
developers have already discussed and are writing the code.
In fact, improved searching features is Microsoft's plans for the
next-generation operating system Longhorn, due in 2007. The plans for Longhorn
include a new method of file storage called Windows Future Storage (WinFS). And
I guess we might already have it in KDE before Longhorn is out. I can see Linux
as a desktop overtaking Windows soon.

That's true, the ads you get in gmail picks up keywords from your own mail. It
is natural to ask the question, "Is google reading our e-mails?" This is what
google says about this issue: "Google is NOT reading your mail. Privacy is an
issue we take very seriously. Gmail is a technology-based program. Advertising
and related information are shown using a completely automated process. Ads are
selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual
advertising technology that powers our AdSense program. This technology enables
Google to effectively target dynamically changing content, such as email, or
news stories."

As I had mentioned earlier, I worte a note to Google's Desktop team. I got a
reply from them and I am copy-pasting it here:
"Thank you for your suggestion. As you know, Google Desktop Search isn't
currently available for Linux. Right now we're putting all of our energy into
making Desktop Search the best program we can. We realize that a lot of our
users would like us to offer a Linux version, however, and we may consider this
option in the future. Regards, The Google Team"
So that's it. They however haven't said if they will make it open-source. It is
more important to have something open-source than mearly getting a ported
product. Coz the product becomes transparent, besides the other benifits of
being open-source.

Hey All!
> This is amazing. But mind it it is a priliminary beta version.
This is really amazing! But have existing tools fallen short
of capabilities?
I have one other point.
>According to Google this Desktop Search is how our brains would work
>if we had photographic memories. It's a desktop search application
What made google delve into this area? Same intention as gmail?
By using your email keywords, they will attract companies for
ads? This may sound negative, but I am just putting another
perspective (to initiate a good discussion ;-) ).
>I hope and wish a Linux version may soon be developed by Google.
I was wondering if we really need it. I don't know what algo's
they are using but as I expect it would be more or less similar
to slocate or updatedb, which are already sitting in RAM to make
searches faster.
Thing is to see if google really shows any interest in making
things opensource and porting this to linux. Their source code
will show their intentions!
WIth source, you know what s/w is supposed to do. On windows,
you just run software, indifferent, of what the s/w might
be doing in background....May be utilizing your bandwidth?
I don't know what google has up its sleeves, but I wish that
they really include linux community, if they really have something
very fast and reliable.

Dr. Rai, in fact, I have already written a note to Google right after I posted
the original mail in the morning. And believe me I am quite hopeful that Google
is going to work out something eventually and possibly as you very rightly
suggested can get various LUGs and Linux pros to help them port this tool for
Linux desktop. I am very sure people will jump to help develop a Linux version
with google. But then like we don't yet have the google tool bar for the Linux
browsers yet, we never know if that will ever happen. Google should involve the
open source community into this. And developing something that supports all
available desktop environments available for Linux would be in itself quite a
big project.

Want a listing of your program with line numbers ?
Use `cat -n my-file' to print my-file with line numbers.

Hi Friends,
Google has introduced a new tool to search your own PC. This is what it does:
# Find your email, files, web history and chats instantly
# View web pages you've seen, even when you're not online
# Search as easily as you do on Google
This is amazing. But mind it it is a priliminary beta version. According to
Google this Desktop Search is how our brains would work if we had photographic
memories. It's a desktop search application that provides full text search over
your email, computer files, chats, and the web pages you've viewed. By making
your computer searchable, Google Desktop Search puts your information easily
within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files,
emails, and bookmarks.
The Google Desktop offering takes direct aim at Microsoft Corp., which bought a
desktop search business in July, as well as current and expected desktop product
releases from other companies such as Apple Computer Inc., Ask Jeeves Inc. and
Time Warner Inc.'s AOL.
But there is a catch. For all those who are totally onto Linux, this is not for
you. I hope and wish a Linux version may soon be developed by Google. Google
Desktop Search is currently available only for Windows XP and Windows 2000
Service Pack 3 and above.

there will be hard data to back up the theories with
the release of new, up-to-date graphical maps that
show where, when, and just how often people are
connecting to the Internet with computers running
Linux. Data for the new maps is based on the number of
computers running Linspire: The first time one of
these machines connects to the Internet, that IP
address is converted into map coordinates and a
"lightup" (a unique, new desktop or laptop running
Linspire) appears in the corresponding location on a
satellite photograph of the Earth.
To view the lightup maps, users should visit
http://www.lraiser.com, a website created to highlight
this real-time data and help spread the word about
desktop Linux.

Friends,
When nothing seems to be working for SCO this is what they are doing. And I
don't think this will do any good to their case either. SCO is planning to
launch a website to tell Linux supporters why they're wrong. "We will be
launching a website in a few weeks to tell our side of the story," Darl McBride,
SCO's president and CEO told the Etre conference in Cannes yesterday. The site
will appear at Prosco.net and be launched on 1 November.

Hey all!
check out the links below.

The second article is really worth reading. And definitely
indicates how pain of writing firmware for blackfinns
and other DSP chips is being mitigated. This is wonderful.
Linux 2.6 is now getting into DSP, finally, with full
steam!
TUX Racer! Ah!

US Forest Service buys Linux-based supercomputer
Officials at Cray Inc., a supercomputer manufacturer, introduced earlier this
week the XD1 Linux-based supercomputer. Starting at less than $100,000, the XD1
is a less expensive alternative to the company's traditional supercomputers, and
it is designed to outperform Linux clusters built using generic off-the-shelf
parts that are increasingly popular with government high-performance computing
shops. The U.S. Forest Service is among the first customers for the XD1, and
officials there will use the computer to predict and track the paths of smoke
plumes from forest fires, according to the agency officials. Source and full
story at:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/techinvestor/corporatenews/2004-10-07-trees-n-tux_x\
.htm
Being a forestry research, I whish that Indian forestry can also have one. Or
probably we can have our own Param and generation up from it customized to suite
forestry research.

I was wondering if any body has any distribution with 2.6 kernel. Any would work. Actually I want ALSA support which I think is now added to official 2.6 kernel tree. If anybody has such distro, please let me know.
