X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 18:16:42 +0200 Dear BeOS Users, You maybe know the current event : Palm Inc is going to buy BeOS. Here's the official press release : Palm, Inc. and Be Incorporated have just announced that Palm is going to buy the intellectual property and technology assets of Be. Palm is also trying to hire Be's engineering team. The price is $11 million, to be paid in Palm stock, following approval from Be shareholders. The technology and people from Be are highly regarded,'' said Carl Yankowski, Palm chief executive officer. We look forward to them joining forces with our own outstanding engineers on future versions of the Palm OS. This move will help us expand the PalmOS platform into broader markets using their multimedia media and Internet expertise.'' Be Chief Executive Officer Jean-Louis Gassee will stay on for a while to assist Palm in integrating the two companies. I look forward to working closely with Palm to integrate Be's technology and talent into the Palm Platform Solutions Group,'' he said. The Be team moving to Palm is enthusiastic about collaborating on so many subjects of mutual strength and devotion -- superior operating system software, attention to end users and the high value our people place on our developer community.'' He also will provide strategic advice related to the anticipated separation of the Palm Platform business from the Solutions Group. snip ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

gateway to Gateway protocol
Hello Everybody, After having tested a lot of new distributions and Windows2000 I'm back in business with a working Linux workstation. The last 2 months have been terrible as I was more or less stuck with a w2k PC I had to use and Linux testing that was a mess. It's a major pain to be forced to look for a new alternative after having had a working setup tweaked to the upmost to fit my needs. On top of it some new distributions should really spend a few weekends looking at what they're releaseing and not get blinded by all the success and green bills people are waving at them. I haven't been able to stick my nose into Debian but would like to find out more about it. Anybody on the list using it everyday!?? OK, now to the question: Could somebody explain me what the gateway-to-gateway protocol is about (/etc/protocols = 3) and what is causing the following logs: Aug 8 08:50:38 wall kernel: Packet log: output REJECT eth0 PROTO=1 195.132.181.80:3 195.55.190.134:3 L=96 S=0xC0 I=28405 F=0x T=255 (#76) Zoran. ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
