<li><span class="rss:item">Christian Schnobrich wants to write a HOWTO about <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:7221:200405:gcmileclkfhpkbbhmnef" target="_top">small and silent
|
|
servers</a>. The focus would be on using old(er) hardware that can be tuned to make less noise, for use in the home office or shared private network.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span class="rss:item">All hope is not lost for getting an up to date document into TLDP that discusses Enterprise Java on Linux. <span class="QUOTE">"Chase"</span> <a href=

from our collection. He argues that topics covered in the HOWTO, such as installing GCC, are a non-issue today.</span></li>
|

<li><span class="rss:item">Emma Jane also contacted the maintainer of the 3Dfx HOWTO, Michael Scherer, who <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?5:mss:9072:200405:gjeegggphbeamigcfdfg" target=

|
|
don't expect to make big money with this CD release. Some people think our project is just the Nth flat commerce initiative, but we really feel that we are part of the community. We once sent an

official copy of Debian to all the Debian developers."</span></span></p>
|
|
<p>LinuxCentral is donating part of the revenue, accumulated by selling this CD, to the TLDP project. Thanks, guys!</p>
