Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts - June meeting notice
Join your fellow Linux enthusiasts for
our regular monthly meeting!
Thursday 08 July, 1999
7:00 PM
Georgia Tech College of Computing
Room 17
--------------------------------------------------------------
THIS MONTH:
Wandering through the Chaos: A Survey of Linux Distributions,
Chris Farris
RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Slackware, Stampede, Open Linux, Turbo
Linux. So many choices so few computers. So which distribution to
choose?
I recently came into possession of several of the Linux Distributions,
from the folks at Linux Central. Developing a list of criteria
addressing both the needs of new users, and the needs of experienced
Linux Gurus, I've set out to evaluate these distributions. How easy is
the install outine, how many packages are installed? How does
their user administration tool work, what can it configure, can a guru
go behind the tool and manually edit stuff, what will blow up if they
do? Basically my talk will go over the pluses and minuses of the
different distributions, and (hopefully) give members of the audience
some idea of which distribution would be right for them. In addition we
will review some alternative distributions: BeOS and the BSD family.

Subject: CONFERENCE: Wizards of OS, Berlin, July 16-17th
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 21:43:43 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
"Wizards of OS" will be the first conference in Germany (possibly in
Europe) to focus on the culture, politics and economics of Free
Software/Open Source and seeking to link various camps of net cultures
- - software hackers, media artists, academics and political activists.
Speakers include Richard M. Stallman, Tim O'Reilly, Kalle
Dalheiner and other developers from well-known Free Software projects
(Apache, XFree86, Perl, GnuPG) and many experts on "open"
vs. "proprietary" in genetic engineering, science and the arts. A
detailed list of panels and speakers is available at the conference
web site <http://www.mikro.org/wos>.

Wizards of OS #1
Open Sources and Free Software
July 16 - 17, 1999
House of World Cultures, Berlin
http://www.mikro.org/wos
The rise of free software -- notably GNU/Linux -- is the most
astonishing recent development in the computer world. The consequences
can hardly be forseen. Is the Linux boom ringing in the sell-out of
free software? Or are we now witnessing the challenging of information
capitalism which is based on "intellectual property"? Is a truly new
economy taking shape or is open source simply the software business
model of the flexible service society?
Whether free software is only about the freedom of programming code,
or -- as GNU founder Richard M. Stallman puts it -- also about the
question what kind of society we want to live in, is the subject of
the conference "Wizards of OS" that will take place on July 16 and 17,
1999 in the House of Worlds Cultures in Berlin. Wizards of OS #1 is
the first event in Germany to focus on the culture, philosophy,
politics and economics of free software. The overriding theme is: Free
software between a social movement and the market economy. Two worlds
meet. In the encounter of cooperative and corporate cultures, there is
more at stake than the question of who is developing the better
software.
The Wizards of OS offer presentations and public discussions on the
following subjects:
- Free Software Licenses versus copyright, patent and trademark law;
what sort of license models are available and what are there
advantages and disadvantages?
- Open source cryptography versus "security through obscurity": which
model is safer?
- Free software and the fair exchange of knowledge between richer and
poorer nations.
- Free software in education.
- What is the strength of open standards setting like on the
Internet, where are its limits?
- How can the mechanisms of free software be applied to other forms
of knowledge, to text, images, music and multimedia art?
- - What kind of parallels to the privatization of public knowledge can
be found in the other digital revolution, in genetics? Seeds have also
been exchanged and further developed by farmers since the beginning of
agriculture, but today, chemical and pharmaceutical companies such as
Monsanto -- which likes to refer to itself as the "Microsoft of
biotechnology" -- claim property rights on the source of life.
Furthermore, prominent free software projects will be introduced by
their developers: the free implementation of the X-Windows System
XFree86, the user interface KDE, the Web server Apache, the script
language Perl, and the other free Unix BSD.
This will be followed by presentations of companies that do business
with free software: the Linux distributor SuSE, medium-sized Linux
support firms such as Lunetix and Innominate, the publishing house
O'Reilly, the commercial software company Intershop that offers its
eCommerce solutions under Linux, the daily newspaper "die
tageszeitung" that is being produced on a Linux-based editorial
system, the equipment maker for building materials, process
engineering and wood processing technology Babcock that utilizes Linux
in its networks, and Apple and Sun that have recently begun to allow
people to peek into their source code.
May the Source be with you!

Subject: Amira Beta Version 2 - visualization and 3D reconstruction software
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 22:18:48 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We are pleased to announce a second publicly available BETA version
(beta2b) of AMIRA, an advanced visualization and 3D reconstruction
software:
http://amira.zib.de
The beta2b version is significantly improved over the previous
version. Details can be found at http://amira.zib.de/changes-beta2.txt
Amira is a modern, user-friendly interactive workbench for researchers
and developers. It offers fascinating new possibilities wherever
3-dimensional data sets occur. State-of-the-art visualization
techniques provide detailed insight into your data.
3D image data can be processed by powerful automatic and interactive
segmentation tools. Novel, fast, and robust reconstruction algorithms
make it easy to create polygonal models from segmented objects. This
makes Amira the ideal tool for research in medicine, biology, and
engineering.
In addition, true volumetric tetrahedral meshes can be generated,
suitable for advanced finite-element simulations. Simulation results
as well as other data defined on a variety of different grids can be
investigated using a large set of powerful visualization methods.
Supported platforms:
- - SGI IRIX 6.x (all platforms)
- - HP-UX 10.2 Visualize Workstations
(tested with fx/4 and fx/6 graphics)
- - Linux glibc, e.g. RedHat 5.2, S.u.S.E. 6.0
(software rendering only)

Subject: KuickShow 0.6.5, a fast Imageviewer for the KDE
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 22:20:21 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is the 0.6.5 release of KuickShow, a fast and comfortable image
browser/viewer. It allows stepping from image to image via keyboard
shortcuts - due to clever preloading and caching, it shows them almost
instantaneously.
It has a nice browser with basic filemanaging capabilities, letting you
navigate through your images.
Based on Imlib, KuickShow supports all common image formats, e.g. jpeg,
gif, tiff, png, bmp, psd, tiff, xpm, xbm, ...
KuickShow offers quick image manipulation, like zooming, mirroring,
rotating, adjusting brightness, contrast and gamma.
Other features are:
- - - slideshow
- - - fullscreen/window mode
- - - adjusting image size to screensize
- - - fully configurable through dialogs
Of course, usual KDE features like session management, HTML Help browser
and (so far german, polish and french) translation are supported.
Sources and binary rpms for SuSE 6.x, Caldera OpenLinux 2.2, RH 6.x,
Mandrake 6.x and DLD 6.x, all for both KDE 1.0 and KDE 1.1x are available
at
