Bill Machrone, vice president of technology for Ziff-Davis
|
|
Publishing Co, recently wrote in an article about Linux that
|
|
Netscape 3.0 and Java were not yet available for Linux. He was
|
|
wrong. Such things happen. Big deal. Even magazines of the
|
|
highest quality sometimes print things that are wrong. You
|
|
tell them about it, and they print a correction in the next
|
|
issue. That's the way professionals handle things.
|
|
<P>
|
|
That's not what some Linux people did, however. Instead, they
|
|
flamed him, in private and in public. That's stupid. They urged
|
|
others to also send flames to Machrone, which is worse.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Things wouldn't be so bad, but now we have the Internet. The
|
|
Internet allows just a few idiots completely ruin the reputation
|
|
of Linux.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Please, if you want to advocate Linux, be civil.

From Martin Michlmayr of Linux International we learn: <BR>
|
|
According to a survey among a partial readership of iX, a German magazine
|
|
devoted to Unix and networking, Linux is used at work by 45% of the
|
|
readers. Solaris 1 and 2 taken together come second with 36%, followed
|
|
by HP-UX with 27%.
|
|
56% of companies with less than 50 employees use Linux whereas it is used
|
|
by 38% of firms with more than 1,000 employees.
|
|
In addition, 60% of the readers use Linux on their computers at home.

Amiga Development Environment

</H3>

<P>
|

Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 <BR>
|
|
Tempe, Arizona - Cronus has announced the release of the long
|
|
awaited Geek Gadgets CD-ROM. Geek Gadgets contains the Amiga Developers
|
|
Environment (ADE) which is a project conceived and managed by Cronus to
|
|
produce and support Amiga ports of dozens of the most popular development
|
|
tools and utilities from the Free Software Foundation, BSD and other sources.
|
|
This CD contains all the tools necessary to get started programming on
|
|
the Amiga including advanced C, C++, Fortran and ADA compilers, assembler,
|
|
linker, EMACS editor, "make", source code control systems (rcs&cvs), text
|
|
and file utilities, GNU debugger, text formatters (groff & TEX) and more.
|
|
Geek Gadgets is the perfect companion to the AT Developers CD which contains
|
|
documentation and utilities but no development tools. Released quarterly,
|
|
Geek Gadgets provides a quick and cost effective way to obtain the latest
|
|
ADE for those with slow and/or expensive Internet connections. As a bonus,
|
|
all the tools can be run directly from the CD-ROM without the need to install
|
|
any files on your hard drive.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Available from your local Amiga dealer or directly from Cronus. SRP $ 24.95

util-linux 2.6
|
|
</H3>
|

<P>

util-linux-2.6.tar.gz (source only distribution)
|
|
<P>
|
|
Util-linux is a suite of essential utilities for any Linux system.
|
|
It's primary audience is system integrators (like the people at
|
|
Red Hat) and DIY Linux hackers. The rest of you will get a digested
|
|
version of util-linux installed with no risk to your sanity.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Util-linux is attempting to be portable, but the only platform it
|
|
has been tested much on is Linux/Intel. There have however been
|
|
integrated several patches for Arm, m68k, and Alpha linux versions.
|
|
The present version is known to compile on at least Linux 1.2/libc
|
|
4.7.5 and Linux 2.0.22/Libc 5.3.12 (the Linux versions I run :-).
|
|
People are encouraged to make _nice_ patches to util-linux and
|
|
submit them to util-linux@math.uio.no.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Util-Linux 2.6 is immediately available from <BR>

|
<P>
|
|
NOTE: Before installing util-linux. READ the README or risk nuking
|
|
your system. Thank you.

LyX-0.10.7 - LyX is a WYSIWYG
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Date: 30 Oct 1996 <BR>
|
|
LyX-0.10.7 has been uploaded to sunsite. It is also available from
|
|
ftp://ftp.via.ecp.fr/pub/lyx and from my home page:
|
|
http://www.lehigh.edu/~dlj0/LyriX.html
|
|
<P>
|
|
LyX is a WYSIWYG front-end to LaTeX. It is used much like a
|
|
word-processor, but LaTeX produces the final document. Figures, tables,
|
|
mathematical formulas, fonts, headers, etc., are all drawn on-screen
|
|
essentially as they appear on the final document. Figures (postscript)
|
|
are placed in the document using a simple menu, as are tables. General
|
|
text formatting is accomplished by high-level menu choices that
|
|
automatically set fonts, indentation, spacing, etc., according to
|
|
general LaTeX rules, and display (essentially) these settings on the
|
|
screen.
|
|
<P>
|
|
None of the power of LaTeX is lost, since you can embed any LaTeX
|
|
command within a LyX document.

Wget, a Web Mirroring Tool
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 <BR>
|
|
Wget 1.4.0 [formerly known as Geturl] is an extensive rewrite of
|
|
Geturl. Wget should now be easier to debug, maintain and
|
|
most importantly, use.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Wget is a freely available network utility to download files from the
|
|
World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP. It works non-interactively, thus
|
|
enabling work in the background, after having logged off.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Wget works under almost all modern Unix variants and, unlike many
|
|
other similar utilities, is written entirely in C, thus requiring no
|
|
additional software (like Perl). As Wget uses the GNU Autoconf, it is
|
|
easily built on and ported to other Unix's. Installation procedure is
|
|
described in the INSTALL file.
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can get the latest version of wget at: <BR>
