Building A (Serious) Home Network From Scratch
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/01/0112216
Casey Lang-Vie writes "[0]THG are running an article that outlines
[1]how to build a home network from scratch. I wish I'd read this
before I attempted - now I have a few (ok, 8) unsightly holes in my
wall." This is the type of network that encourages home ownership
rather than rental.

Blizzard North Co-Founders Leave Company
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/30/2353203
Thanks to several readers for pointing out a Reuters/Yahoo story
discussing [0]the departure of four key employees from Warcraft and
Diablo developers [1]Blizzard Entertainment. The article elaborates:
"In a statement, Blizzard Entertainment said Blizzard North co-founders
Erich Schaefer, Max Schaefer and David Brevik, along with a fourth
employee, Bill Roper, 'resigned from the company to pursue other
opportunities.'" With Bill Roper often the [2]public face of Blizzard,
and the Blizzard North co-founders being the [3]original Diablo
developers, this is a big deal for Blizzard owners Vivendi, as well as
gamers everywhere, especially as Blizzard "is widely seen in the games
industry as one of the most attractive assets of VU Games, which has
been languishing on the auction block for months."

Linux On The Dell Axim

An anonymous reader points to this interesting project to run [0]the
Familiar Linux distribution on the Dell Axim. "It includes a picture of
the Axim running Linux and directions for loading Linux on the Dell
Axim from the CF card. Looks like a good start to this project." It's
limited for now (crashes after 15 minutes, must be loaded through the
installed version of Windows), but everything starts out that way.

fuel cell instead of a rechargeable battery, and said it will start
selling it next year. NEC initially plans to introduce a computer with
a fuel-cell system able to run for five consecutive hours on a single

Open Source Microsoft Exchange Replacements?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/30/1743216
[0]Carl Farrington asks: "Do you think you could try to raise public
awareness of the importance for an open source replacement for
Microsoft Exchange (Outlook/MAPI compatible for shared/public folders).
Current offerings are SuSE Linux Groupware Server, Communigate Pro
(Stalker Software), Samsung Contact (ex. HP OpenMail) all of which are
not open source / free. [1]Kroupware is in development, but there will
be no Outlook Connector for it. [2]otlkcon is in slow development as a
possible connector for Kroupware. There is also [3]OSER (Open Source
Exchange Replacement) which again looks like it needs more help. Is
there any chance of getting some people to back this stuff? It's so
important and is probably the major problem facing Linux as viable
replacements for Win2000 servers." While this seems to be a [4]question
[5]that [6]keeps [7]popping up in [8]one form or [9]another, it's
always worthwhile to come back and point out alternatives, in
development, that might need your help to get off the ground and
running. So, if you're looking for an alternative to Exchange, would
you be willing to contribute some time to one of the projects listed
above? If you've been using Unix as an Exchange replacement, what did
you do and how well has it been working?

Three years to the day since Gallery became a SourceForge project,
we're pleased to announce the release of Gallery v1.3.4 as well as
Gallery Remote v1.0.1. Gallery v1.3.4 is both a new feature and bugfix
release, and is recommended for all Gallery users. New features for
v1.3.4 include: the ability to download your gallery to burn to CD or
browse offline, additional photo print services, auto-rotation of JPEGs
when possible, and the ability to add new customized description fields
to photos. In addition, v.1.3.4 fixes numerous minor bugs, and extends
support for PHP-Nuke to versions 6.5 and newer, and improves the
Windows XP Publishing Wizard interface. Alongside the new Gallery
release comes the release of Gallery Remote v1.0.1, which fixes many
bugs, implements HTTP basic authentication, and allows you to save and
load Gallery Remote projects. Gallery v1.3.4 and Gallery Remote v1.0.1
