Beginnings.
In the beginning, sometime in early 1996, several
people were talking on the linux-kernel mailing list
about a suitable logo/mascot for Linux. Of the many,
many suggestions, many involved parodies of other
operating system logo's - or were strong, noble beasts
such as Sharks or Eagles. At some point (I'm not sure
when), Linus Torvalds (the father of Linux) casually
mentioned that he was rather fond of Penguins - which
rather stopped the debate in its tracks.
After several attempts to draw Penguins in various
poses, someone suggested a Penguin holding up the
world. Here is the famous email from Linus - in
response to Dale Scheetz' efforts to produce a such an
image:
Re: Linux Logo prototype.
Linus Torvalds (torvalds@...)
Thu, 9 May 1996 17:48:56 +0300 (EET DST)
Somebody had a logo competition announcement,
maybe people can send their ideas to a web-site..
Anyway, this one looks like the poor penguin is
not really strong enough to hold up the world, and
it's going to get squashed. Not a good, positive logo,
in that respect..
Now, when you think about penguins, first take a
deep calming breath, and then think "cuddly". Take
another breath, and think "cute". Go back to "cuddly"
for a while (and go on breathing), then think
"contented".
With me so far? Good..
Now, with penguins, (cuddly such), "contented"
means it has either just gotten laid, or it's stuffed
on herring. Take it from me, I'm an expert on
penguins, those are really the only two options.
Now, working on that angle, we don't really want
to be associated with a randy penguin (well, we do,
but it's not politic, so we won't), so we should be
looking at the "stuffed to its brim with herring"
angle here.
So when you think "penguin", you should be
imagining a slighly overweight penguin (*), sitting
down after having gorged itself, and having just
burped. It's sitting there with a beatific smile - the
world is a good place to be when you have just eaten a
few gallons of raw fish and you can feel another
"burp" coming.
(*) Not FAT, but you should be able to see that
it's sitting down because it's really too stuffed to
stand up. Think "bean bag" here.
Now, if you have problems associating yourself
with something that gets off by eating raw fish, think
"chocolate" or something, but you get the idea.
Ok, so we should be thinking of a lovable,
cuddly, stuffed penguin sitting down after having
gorged itself on herring. Still with me?
NOW comes the hard part. With this image firmly
etched on your eyeballs, you then scetch a stylizied
version of it. Not a lot of detail - just a black
brush-type outline (you know the effect you get with a
brush where the thickness of the line varies). THAT
requires talent. Give people the outline, and they
should say [ sickly sweet voice, babytalk almost
]"Ooh, what a cuddly penguin, I bet he is just
_stuffed_ with herring", and small children will jump
up and down and scream "mommy mommy, can I have one
too?".
Then we can do a larger version with some more
detail (maybe leaning against a globe of the world,
but I don't think we really want to give any "macho
penguin" image here about Atlas or anything). That
more detailed version can spank billy-boy to tears for
all I care, or play ice-hockey with the FreeBSD demon.
But the simple, single penguin would be the logo, and
the others would just be that cuddly penguin being
used as an actor in some tableau.
Linus
Why Penguins?
This email from Linus in response to this very
question seems to explain the significance of the
Penguin:
Re: Linux Logo
Linus Torvalds (torvalds@...)
Sun, 12 May 1996 09:39:19 +0300 (EET DST)
Umm.. You don't have any gap to fill in.
"Linus likes penguins". That's it. There was
even a headline on it in some Linux Journal some time
ago (I was bitten by a Killer Penguin in Australia -
I'm not kidding). Penguins are fun.
As to why use a penguin as a logo? No good
reason, really. But a logo doesn't really ave to
_mean_ anything - it's the association that counts.
And I can think of many worse things than have linux
being associated with penguins.
Having a penguin as a logo also gives more
freedom to people wanting to use linux-related
material: instead of being firmly fixed with a
specific logo (the triangle, or just "Linux 2.0" or
some other abstract thing), using something like a
penguin gives people the chance to make modifications
that are still recognizable.
So you can have a real live penguin on a CD
cover, for example, and people will get the
association. Or you can have a penguin that does
something specific (a Penguin writing on wordperfect
for the WP Linux CD, whatever - you get the idea).
Compare that to a more abstract logo (like the
windows logo - it's not a bad logo in itself). You
can't really do anything with a logo like that. It
just "is".
Anyway, go to
"http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/" for some nice
examples..

This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago. Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks time period. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check. Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations 1-800-842-2332 Ext. 1085 or 904-1085 or RNX 292-1085 Charles_Bailey@...Charles_bailey@...
I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man. It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in full" Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for real. Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it( if you are a Microsoft Windows user)for a two week time period.

Why.....
What is it?
Starting at GMT 03:14:07, Tuesday, January 19, 2038, It is expected to see
lots of systems around the world breaking magnificently: satellites falling
out of orbit, massive power outages (like the 2003 North American blackout),
hospital life support system failures, phone system interruptions, banking
errors, etc. One second after this critical second, many of
these systems will have wildly inaccurate date settings, producing all
kinds of unpredictable consequences. In short, many of the dire predictions
for the year 2000 are much more likely to actually occur in the year 2038!
Consider the year 2000 just a dry run. In case you think we can sit on this
issue for another 30 years before addressing it, consider that reports of
temporal echoes of the 2038 problem are already starting to appear in future
date calculations for mortgages and vital statistics!
In the first month of the year 2038 C.E. many computers will encounter a
date-related bug in their operating systems and/or in the applications they
run. This can result in incorrect and wildly inaccurate dates being reported
by the operating system and/or applications. The effect of this bug is hard
to predict, because many applications are not prepared for the resulting
"skip" in reported time anywhere from 1901 to a "broken record" repeat of
the reported
time at the second the bug occurs. Also, may make some small adjustment to
the actual time the bug expresses itself. This bug to cause serious problems
on many platforms, especially Unix and Unix-like platforms, because these
systems will "run out of time".
What causes it?
Time_t is a data type used by C and C++ programs to represent dates and
times internally. (Windows programmers out there might also recognize it as
the basis for the CTime and CTimeSpan classes in MFC.) time_t is actually
just an integer, a whole number, that counts the number of seconds since
January 1, 1970 at 12:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time. A time_t value of 0 would
be 12:00:00 AM (exactly midnight) 1-Jan-1970, a time_t value of 1 would be
12:00:01 AM
(one second after midnight) 1-Jan-1970, etc..
some example times and their exact time_t representations:
Date & time time_t representation
1-Jan-1970, 12:00:00 AM GMT 0
1-Jan-1970, 12:01:00 AM GMT 60
1-Jan-1970, 01:00:00 AM GMT 3 600
2-Jan-1970, 12:00:00 AM GMT 86 400
1-Jan-1971, 12:00:00 AM GMT 31 536 000
1-Jan-1972, 12:00:00 AM GMT 63 072 000
1-Jan-2038, 12:00:00 AM GMT 2 145 916 800
19-Jan-2038, 03:14:07 AM GMT 2 147 483 647
By the year 2038, the time_t representation for the current time will be
over 2 140 000 000. And that's the problem. A modern 32-bit computer stores
a "signed integer" data type, such as time_t, in 32 bits. The first of these
bits is used for the positive/negative sign of the integer, while the
remaining 31 bits are used to store the number itself. The highest number
these 31 data bits can store works out to exactly 2 147 483 647. A time_t
value of this exact number, 2 147 483 647, represents January 19, 2038, at 7
seconds past 3:14 AM Greenwich Mean Time. So, at 3:14:07 AM GMT on that
fateful day, every time_t used in a 32-bit C or C++ program will reach its
upper limit.
One second later, on 19-January-2038 at 3:14:08 AM GMT, disaster strikes.
When a signed integer reaches its maximum value and then gets incremented,
it wraps around to its lowest possible negative value. This means a 32-bit
signed integer, such as a time_t, set to its maximum value of 2 147 483 647
and then incremented by 1, will become -2 147 483 648. Note that "-" sign at
the beginning of this large number. A time_t value of -2 147 483 648 would
represent December 13, 1901 at 8:45:52 PM GMT.
So, if all goes normally, 19-January-2038 will suddenly become
13-December-1901 in every time_t across the globe, and every date
calculation based on this figure will go haywire. And it gets worse. Most of
the support functions that use the time_t data type cannot handle negative
time_t values at all. They simply fail and return an error code.
A quick check with the following Perl script may help determine if your
computers will have problems (this requires Perl to be installed on your
system, of course):
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Use POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) use POSIX;
# Set the Time Zone to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for
date calculations.
$ENV{'TZ'} = "GMT";
# Count up in seconds of Epoch time just before and
after the critical event.
for ($clock = 2147483641; $clock < 2147483651;
$clock++)
{
print ctime($clock);
}
For example, the output of this script on Debian GNU/Linux (kernel 2.4.22)
(An affected system) will be
# ./2038.pl
Tue Jan 19 03:14:01 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:02 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:03 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:04 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:05 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:06 2038
Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038
Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901
Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901
Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901
Solution
"The best way to predict the future is to engineer it." Consider testing
your mission-critical code well ahead of time on a non-production test
platform set just before the critical date. For more general applications,
just using large types for storing dates will do the trick in most cases.
For example, in GNU C, 64-bits (a "long " type) is sufficient to keep the
time from rolling over for literally geological eons This just means any
executables the operating systems runs will always get the correct time
reported to them when queried in the correct manner. It doesn't stop the
executables you may still want to be worried about Well-written programs can
simply be recompiled with a new version of the library that uses, for
example, 8-byte values for the storage format. This is possible because the
library encapsulates the whole time activity with its own time types and
functions (unlike most mainframe programs, which did not standardize their
date formats or calculations). So the Year 2038 problem should not be nearly
as hard to fix as the Y2K problem was.
Admittedly, some don't feel that this impending disaster will strike too
many people. They reason that, by the time 2038 rolls around, most programs
will be running on 64-bit or even 128-bit computers. In a 64-bit program, a
time_t could represent any date and time in the future out to 292 000 000
000 A.D., which is about 20 times the currently estimated age of the
universe. The problem with this kind of optimism is the same root problem
behind most of the Year 2000
concerns that plagued the software industry in previous years: Legacy
Code. Even if every PC in the year 2038 has a 64-bit CPU, there will be a
lot of older 32-bit programs running on them.
The greatest danger with the Year 2038 Problem is its invisibility. The
more-famous Year 2000 is a big, round number; it only takes a few seconds of
thought, even for a computer-illiterate person, to imagine what might happen
when 1999 turns into 2000. But January 19, 2038 is not nearly as obvious.
Software companies will probably not think of trying out a Year 2038
scenario before doomsday strikes. Of course, there will be some warning
ahead of time. Scheduling software, billing programs, personal reminder
calendars, and other such pieces of code that set dates in the near future
will fail as soon as one of their target dates exceeds 19-Jan-2038, assuming
a time_t is used to store them.
Good luck, and hope no ones flying car breaks down in 2038

Dear members,
Wine is that which can pursuade the Windows community
to migrate to Linux. It enables us to run Windows based programs on
Linux. It does so by replacing the Windows system calls by the
corresponding Linux system calls and as such creating a virtual
Windows environment on Linux. As its open source, I encourage the
members to install and use this software on your systems.
In the next post I will describe the installation
process as well as the usage, till then I suggest you guys to
outsource the software from www.winehq.com . It is available on all
platforms and is included on some distributions on CD as well.
Lets enter a whole new domain.
Interested guys..........please do contact me as we can embark on an
exciting project where we can develop applications for Windows which
can be run on Linux using Wine. Platform independence without
Java............. A WHOLE NEW WORLD.

Arjun, Try to respect the e-mails of your colleagues.
Arjun:
But Vasudev, how dare I send junk mails to my honourable elders,
who are
logged on to honourable domains ?
Krishna:
Paarth, at this moment they neither are your friend nor your foes.
They
are mere mail-users. So follow your Net-dharma. Logon and send
dozens of
junk mails. This is your Karma and this alone is your
Dharma.
Arjun:
Murari ! After seeing all this, I feel like resigning from the
company
itself
Krishna:
Bandhu, it seems you are caught in a vicious circle of Maaya.
In
this
material world you have none and you are commited to none. Junk
mails
have existed before you came to this world and shall remain long
after
you are gone. Rise above this Maaya and perform your duty. Just
keep
sending junk mails.
Arjun:
But Devaki Nandan...........!
Krishna:
.Victory or failure is not in your hands. So stop pondering about
results. Don't waste your knowledge on the junk shastra bestowed by
your
Guru.
Arjun:
Hey Keshav, how is junk mail related to the 'system'?
Krishna:
Junk mail is just junk mail. It has no connection with Hardware.
However, it is another matter that it overloads the system... fills
up
the hard disk....but you are not supposed to worry about it. Listen
Kunti putra, the way Aatma leaves one physical body and moves onto
another, likewise these junk mails move from system to system.
Arjun:
How can one
define junk mail?
Krishna:
Neither fire can burn it.., nor air can dry it... neither it can be
conquered nor it can be defeated. He who sends junk mails cannot be
looked down upon even by Mahadev... Junk mails are immortal.
Arjun:
Hey Narayan! Now all my doubts on junk mail are crystal clear. You
have
opened my eyes Yashoda Nandan, or else I would have lost Myself in
Maaya
and read all the junk mails myself.
......... MAHAAABHAAAAARAT .............
Years have passed since then, generations have come and gone,
seasons
have cycled, technology advanced, but junk mails remain. So, go on,
contribute something to the history by hitting that forward button
yet

History of Bangla Unicode based OpenType fonts: Mukta Bangla fonts
Project ( http://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont/ ) started the first
Unicode based Opentype Bangla font project. They have successfully
released few fonts. As far I know Samsuddoha Ranju (Alpona Software)
made the first OpenType font from Bangladesh (although that was not
based on Unicode codepage).
About Ekushey.org:
Ekushey.org is dedicated to develop new technology for ease of Bangla
computing which is opensource and free. From a long time they are
working with Unicode, Microsoft, IBM, Sun for settle down all the Bangla
issues. This is the *only* organization from Bangladesh, involved in the
KhandaTa, Danda, Japhola controversy.
OpenType Fonts:
OpenType font is the only future of Bangla computing. Lots of software
vendors of Bangladesh are still encouraging people for stay with their
hacked Bangla typing system, which does not have any prospect in future
Bangla computing.
Ekushey.org released 2 OpenType Bangla fonts at the very beginning.
Those fonts has very high quality glyphs (typeface). Looking at the
demand of ornamental fonts, team members of Ekushey.org decided to make
more then 40 opentype ornamental Bangla fonts.
Now Ekushey.org is proud to announce the release of brand new 5 OpenType
fonts. If you use Unicode Bangla computing system, then you are invited
to http://www.ekushey.org/projects/otf_bangla_fonts/ You can find all
the new releases there.

Hewlett-Packard Co. said on Tuesday that its researchers have proven that a
technology they invented could eventually replace the transistor, a fundamental
building block of computers. In a paper published in Tuesday's Journal of
Applied Physics, HP said three members of its Quantum Science Research group
propose and demonstrate a "crossbar latch," which provides the signal
restoration and inversion required for general computing without the need for
transistors. HP said in a statement that the technology could result in
computers that are thousands of times more powerful than those that exist
today. "We are reinventing the computer at the molecular scale," said Stan
Williams, one of the authors of the paper, in a statement. "The crossbar latch
provides a key element needed for building a computer using nanometer-sized
devices that are relatively inexpensive and easy to build." Phil Kuekes,
another one of the paper's authors, said in a statement that transistors would
continue to be used for years to come with conventional silicon circuits. But,
he added: "This could someday replace transistors in computers, just as
transistors replaced vacuum tubes and vacuum tubes replaced electromagnetic
relays before them."

Other highlights of the February issue includes:
------------------------------------------------
LFY DVD
The DVD has a versatile collection of distros. Mandrakelinux 10.1
Community Edition is the highlight of this DVD. Other distros included
are FreeBSD, Ubuntu and Systemrescuedisk.
LFY CD
The CD has a wide collection of tools that will help you set your
Linux environment to move on top gear.
Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
-------------------------------------------------
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux from labs to
offices. To achieve this goal, we realised that we needed to reduce
the pricing of the main magazine so that those who were not technical
but curious about Linux/OSS could access the information. Hence, LINUX
For You's main magazine was created as a magazine for everyone to read.
At the same time, the demand from the tech community was clear -- they
needed technical content along with CDs that bundled the latest
software and distros. Hence, the combined pack of LINUX For You and
LFY PRO and 1 DVD and 1 CD are now available at Rs 125!
For more details about LINUX For You magazine, log on to
www.linuxforu.com or email at niraj@....
This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the
information contained in Asia's only magazine on Linux and open
source, and we hope that it will be taken positively.

2. make sure your floppy is unmounted
3. at the shell prompt type in
#/sbin/mkbootdisk -v `uname -r`
or
#mkbootdisk -v `uname -r`
That should be enough. I dont have a floppy drive now, so couldn't verify.
best of luck!

News and Trends .,Saturday January 29, 2005 (08:00 AM GMT)., By:
Joe Barr
Commentary:
There are a lot of good reasons to like the
GPL: the GNU Public License. For one thing, it's a David and Goliath
kind of thing.
It's the little guy standing up to the
corporate behemoths that run rough-shod over our daily lives by virtue
of their influence, legal and otherwise, on government.
For another, it's virtuous. It's a Medicare
Bill which actually provides more and better health care for the
elderly rather than simply pouring public funds directly into the
greedy, gaping gaws of the pharmaceutical industry. It's also
territorial. It's "Don't Tread on Me" applied to software.
The GPL provides a legal framework for an
ever improving, ever free, software infrastructure. In addition, it's
what Linus chose for Linux in order that those who follow can have
access to his creation.
But what I love about the GPL is the
same thing that Microsoft and other corporate predators hate about it:
it works.
What does it protect?
As explained on the GNU/FSF website, the
definition of "free software" encompasses four separate freedoms. None
of these freedoms have to do with the price of beer. The four freedoms
are:
The freedom to run the program, for any
purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works,
and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you
can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and
release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community
benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for
this.
Fine. You may be thinking, "I can do that
already with software that's in the public domain, or covered by other
open source licenses, like the BSD-style license." You're right, you
can. But software in the public domain, and software covered by a
BSD-style license, is not afforded any protection whatsoever to ensure
those same freedoms exist for the next user, or the next, or the one
after her.
How does it work?
The GPL makes those freedoms self-perpetuating
by requiring that anyone who obtains and redistributes GPLd software to
release it under the same terms. This is sometimes referred to in a
pejorative sense as its "viral nature." Call it what you will, this
feature is what provides the protection for the four freedoms. This is
what provides Linus -- and thousands of other free software authors --
the protection they want for their software.
Microsoft, for example, took the BSD-licensed
TCP/IP stack from the public and swallowed it up in its proprietary
product line. Then sold back to the public what it had taken from them.
Legally, of course. The BSD-style license offers no protection against
that sort of thing.
They've done the same thing with Kerberos,
except worse. They made their version of Kerberos work fully only with
their servers. Public pressure forced them to provide documentation for
their closed-fisted proprietary pirated version, but they attached a
restrictive license to the documentation which made it impossible for
it to be used in free software.
Once again, it was piracy of public software.
Stolen in order to increase Bill Gates' personal fortune. But it was
legal theft. The MIT license covering Kerberos provided no protection
against that sort of thing.
I love the GPL because it protects Linux and
other great software from falling into the clutches of the real
software pirates.
How well does it work?
The Linux kernel is the poster-boy for GPLd
software. It's become the little OS who could, the bumblebee who could
fly, the impossible notion that a bunch of kids on the Internet could
create the most successful operating system in history come true. All
of that has happened at least partly because of the GPL.
Linux thrives for several reasons, but chief
among them them is its community of developers, a community unrivaled
by any other platform. Are they drawn to Linux by a charismatic leader?
Some, no doubt. To my way of thinking, Linus Torvalds' greatest genius
is not in code, but in creating an environment where many gifted coders
can work together for the common good. But don't forget, in his heart
of hearts, Torvalds is a geek: a sub-species not noted for being warm
and fuzzy people-persons.
Could it be the license? For many, yes. The GPL
is often described as idealistic and altruistic. If the kernel
developers were interested only in the code, wouldn't the BSDs be the
ones with the huge development corps instead of Linux? That's what
we're told all the time by the BSD-bigots, it's better technically.
But they are not just interested in the code.
The GPL adds a magic glue to the Linux community, the good feeling that
comes from doing good for others, and knowing that it will continue to
do that good for as long as it is used. If you don't know what I'm
talking about, then you are probably never going to "get it" as far as
the GPL, or Linux, is concerned.
The GPL covers a whole lot more than just the
Linux kernel. Check the statistics. Freshmeat.net lists almost 36,000
projects covered by more than 50 different licenses. The page showing percentage covered by
specific license reveals over 68% of those projects are licensed by
the GPL. What's in second place? The GPL's sibling license, the GNU
Lesser GPL, with nearly a 6% share. Coming in third, with 3.57%, is the
original BSD license. The GPL is not just the most popular open source
or free software license, it is overwhelmingly the people's choice.
Why the lies about the GPL?
Gates and Ballmer attack the GPL at every
opportunity. It's not unusual to hear them break out in that old
familiar fascist soft-shoe routine and refer to it or Linux as
communistic. Hey, who can blame those two bozos. They stumbled blindly
into a pot of gold when they were given a monopoly on what turned out
to be -- largely no thanks to them -- the hottest technology of the
century. Now their lives are dedicated to protecting that monopoly from
all comers.
They've done pretty well at that, too.
Sometimes they've won anti-trust battles in court, sometimes they've
won them in back room deals with secretive administrations. But several
superior technical solutions have come and gone -- DR DOS and OS/2, for
example -- without making much of a dent in the Microsoft monopoly.
But Linux is immune to most of the
kneecap-busting, air-supply cutting, baby-knifing techniques that
Microsoft is so fond of. Linux is not a company or an individual that
can be bought. It's a community made up largely of folks who find the
Microsoft mindset disgusting. Geeks like things that work, and despise
the hollow-men who make hollow claims about performance, security,
robustness, and availability. And -- unlike the TCP/IP stack and
Kerberos -- it's protected by the GPL.
You know those bogus and misleading ads that
Microsoft calls its "Get the facts" campaign, and loves to run here and
on other popular Linux sites? That's not only what Microsoft does best,
it's about the best it can do in its campaign against Linux. And
judging from the feedback reactions I've seen to them in comments, they
aren't winning any converts for them.
Stallman as a substitute target
The GPL is a license for software. Words.
Statements. Clauses. A legal document. Richard Stallman is a man.
Brilliant, opinionated, and uncompromising. Many attacks on the GPL are
made indirectly, by going after Richard Stallman, for no other reason
than he is vulnerable to them, while the license itself is not.
If you don't disassociate the two, then the GPL
is going to rise and fall in your estimation based on how you're well
getting along with Stallman at the moment. Remember, we're talking
about a man who can polarize a room into warring factions just by
walking by. I admire Stallman greatly, but I don't always agree with
him. It's perfectly OK to like the GPL and to dislike Stallman. They
are two different things.
The bottom line
The reason I love the GPL is because it has
made one of the richest men in the world -- some would say that makes
him one of the most powerful men in the world -- impotent against the
surging growth of Linux and its user base.
And because Linux and other free software
exists, I have been able to free myself from the noxious terms and
conditions imposed by the monopoly on their customers. Changing their
licensing terms on the fly, for example. And doing so in ways which
forces meek compliance, since failure to accept them means you don't
get the latest service pack, which contains fixes for dozens of gaping
security holes, which are known and constantly probed for every minute
of every day.
The monopoly hates the escape route the GPL
provides me. That's why they constantly attack it. Those attacks will
undoubtably continue. Some will be legal challenges, some will merely
be insane. Sometimes the hand of Microsoft will be obvious -- as in its
financial backing and support of SCO -- sometimes not. But it doesn't
matter. The GPL is winning. And for that I love it all the more.

Jailed for using a nonstandard browser
A Londonder made a tsnuami-relief donation using lynx -- a text-based
browser used by the blind, Unix-users and others -- on Sun's Solaris
operating system. The site-operator decided that this "unusual" event
in the system log indicated a hack-attempt, and the police broke down
the donor's door and arrested him.
From a mailing list:
For donating to a Tsunami appeal using Lynx on Solaris 10. BT
[British Telecom] who run the donation management system misread an
access log and saw hmm that's a non standard browser not identifying
it's type and it's doing strange things. Trace that IP. Arrest that
hacker.
Armed police, a van, a police cell and national news later the
police have gone in SWAT style and arrested someone having their
lunch.
Out on bail till next week and preparing to make a lot of very
bad PR for BT and the Police....

Update: : The source that told me about this has corroborated it with
more detail in private email, but is leery of going public. I hope
that more publicly available details appear soon, and will post them
when I have them.
So just goes to show if you use anything other than Firefox or IE
and you rely on someone else to interogate access logs or IDS logs
you too could be sitting in a paper suit in a cell :(

all the memebers of dgplug. i want to know that how can we make a bootable floppy of RED HAT LINUX (preferably 9 or FEDORA) after installation of RED HAT LINUX. during installation it gives a option but how can we do it after linux is installed?
The LinuxIndia.org web site is
trying to develop a compreshensive list of g/LUGs in India. Please do
spend a moment updating information there. You might like to write to
the admin for adding content.
Oh...
That is fine..
But i have installed Fedora Core 1 and to compile
the java file the javac command doesn't work but i use
the

And for ur kind info , i have already used that header with the filename.class. But have u seen the .class file in Linux plateform....?
