Red Hat 8.0 is amazingly solid with one critical exception... RPM has a
nasty race condition that causes it to completely fail in some
instances, necessitating a kill -9, deleting some lock files or reboot
in order to regain RPM functionality.

I would wait for them to figure out this problem and supply updated
packages before trying Red Hat 8.0.  I think this will be sooner than
later as IMHO, this is the most critical bug in 8.0.  I will let
everyone know when this is fixed.

I disagree, if we advocated for the banning of proprietary software, we
would be hypocrites to be advocates of free "choice".

Bruce Perens launched "Sincere Choice" initiative as an alternative to
Microsoft's "Software Choice" and these "Ban Proprietary Software"
legislations in California and several foreign countries.

"We seek to provide a fair market in which Proprietary and Open Source
software can compete solely on their merits."

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/security/library/s-netip/?t=gr,lnxw02=LinuxFirewall

Configuring firewalls for Linux (kernel 2.4.x) using netfilter/iptables

Mugdha Vairagade ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Independent Developer
September 2002
The netfilter/iptables is the IP packet filtering system that is
integrated with the latest 2.4.x versions of the Linux kernel. This
system facilitates greater control over IP packet filtering and firewall
configuration on Linux systems, be they systems connected to the
Internet or a LAN, servers, or proxy servers interfacing between a LAN
and the Internet. Mugdha Vairagade provides an introduction to the
netfilter/iptables system, how it works, its advantages, installing and
configuring, and how to use it to configure firewalls on Linux systems
to filter IP packets.

Note: Minimum intermediate level knowledge of Linux OS and experience of
configuring Linux kernels will be helpful in understanding this article.

For this article, we are using iptables userspace tool version 1.2.6a
and kernel version 2.4.9.

[luau] Linux Gaming - Transgaming WineX v2.2 released

2002-10-07 Thread Warren Togami
Transgaming WineX is a fork of Wine specific to implement DirectX and
other features needed for playing the latest Windows games within
Linux.  Many games already work very well, with more game support always
improving.  You can download the source code which is free for
non-commercial use, but it lacks the copy protection code that cannot be
released due to the anti-circumvention clause of the DMCA.

The most convenient way of using WineX is to subscribe for only $5 a
month and be able to download their binary release which works great in
most Linux distributions (I currently pay them $10 a month, at one point
I was contributing $100/month.)  Much of their code is released to the
X11 licensed ReWind project, meaning by subscribing to Transgaming your
money helps to further Open Source Software development.

http://downloads.transgaming.com/files/winex-2_2-releasenotes.txt

WineX 2.2 Release  Issued on Tuesday October 8, 2002

As mentioned in our September Development Status Report, we have been
working on this release from the same 'stable' source code tree that was
used for both the WineX 2.1 release and the Kohan products. WineX 2.2 is
primarily a maintenance release that incorporates many of the sound and
multimedia improvements that we have made in recent weeks.

WineX 2.2 also includes preliminary support for Sony Online
Entertainment's incredibly popular massive multiplayer on-line game,
EverQuest. The complete list of changes is as follows:

* Many improvements have been made to the sound system in WineX.
Several new combinations of hardware and device drivers should now work
better than previously.
* Hardware sound buffering is supported when explicitly activated.
It can be configured in the ~/.transgaming/config file, along with
support for Full Duplex mode. See the WineX Beginners Guide v. 2.2 for
more information.
* DirectShow support has been significantly improved, both in
performance, as well as with support for additional media types.
DirectShow performance is best when hardware sound buffering is enabled.
* Several improvements have been made to DirectInput, including
support for Unicode APIs and multi-button mice.
* A number of fixes have been made to Direct3D 8, including support
switching rendering between threads, as well as various Transformation
and Lighting fixes.
* Preliminary support for EverQuest. The Game is now fully playable
using the default 'new' EverQuest user interface mode, however the
auto-updater may not always work properly. The standard UI mode is not
fully functional, and performance improvements will be made in future
releases. For more information, see the WineX 2.2 Release Notes.
* Fixes for Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat 8.0 CD device auto-detection. Note
that Mandrake 9.0 appears to have a bug with SuperMount which can cause
problems reading files from a CD-ROM in some circumstances. To work
around the problem, disable the SuperMount feature in the OS.

Okay.  I think that it sounds good either way.  I agree that using the word 
education does not exclude any non-education entity from receiving donated 
hardware and services.  I also agree that using the word education could 
possibly mislead someone.  Ultimately I believe that people will know what we 
do from a mission statement and our communications within the community.


The frontrunners are emerging as:

Hawaii Foundation for Open Source Education

Hawaii Foundation for Open Source Technology

Do we need to modify this with a The?, i.e., The Hawaii Foundation ...  if we 
use Hawaii over Hawaiian?

Wayne highly recommended keeping the Foundation name specific with
"Education" because that may sound more sincere, and may attract more
donations.

I think that "Education" can also imply that we do non-school things, as
we do Educate business people in Open Source solutions too.

[luau] non-profit incorporation

2002-10-07 Thread R. Scott Belford
In an attempt to entice more computer contributions, we are going to create a 
non-profit corporation.  Heretofore things have been donated to the 
Mid-Pacific Institute.  While this has been an effective work-around, it is 
not the long term solution we need.  

Wayne, an attorney on the list, has suggested that the name be long enough to 
encompass a sense of the group's intentions.  He advised against an acronym.  
I am suggesting any one of the following names.  Please rearrange them and 
suggest a combination that you like.  Please suggest a new name.  Please 
ignore the whole thing if you choose. :-)

Hawai`i Open Source Education Initiative
Foundation For Hawaiian Open Sourced Schools
Hawai`ian Institute for Open Sourced Education
Open Source Technology for Hawai`ian Schools Foundation
Hawai`ian Gnu/Linux Educational Organization
Hawai`ian Institute of Openly Sourced Education Technology
Technological Inititative for Open Source Hawai`ian Schools
Schools Growing with Open Source Technology
Hawai`ian Education Foundation for Open Source Integration
Open Source Computing Organization for Hawai`ian Schools

For those of you unfamiliar with this endeavor, it is an attempt to utilize 
hardware generally considered "obsolete" in the academic environment.  Luau 
members have interest in this because a linux based project, the LTSP, 
lstp.org, and in particular its education branch, k12ltsp.org, use this 
hardware as thin clients.  For very little cost, entire labs can be 
constructed.

Warren Togami has been instrumental (as well as others) in implementing this 
solution in several places.  The Mid-Pacific Institute has one such lab, and 
it is being expanded.  If you want to be involved in any way, let it be known.

[luau] News - W3C Patent Board Recommends Royalty-Free Policy

2002-10-07 Thread Warren Togami
Bruce Perens continues the good fight, protecting Open Source Software's
rights to implement W3C standards.

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/07/1159206&mode=thread&tid=95

Bruce Perens writes "A year ago, the World Wide Web Consortium proposed
a policy to allow royalty-generating patents to be embedded in web
standards. This would have been fatal to the ability of Free Software to
implement those standards. There was much protest, including over 2000
emails to the W3C Patent Policy Board spurred on by a call to arms
published on Slashdot. As a result of the complaints, I was invited to
join W3C's patent policy board, representing Software in the Public
Interest (Debian's corporation) -- but really the entire Free Software
community. I was later joined in this by Eben Moglen, for FSF, and Larry
Rosen, for the Open Source Initiative." Bruce has written more below -
it's well worth reading.

After a year of argument and see-sawing, W3C's patent policy board has
voted to recommend a royalty-free patent policy. This recommendation
will be put in the form of a draft and released for public comment.
There will probably be a dissenting minority report from some of the
large patent holders. Tim Berners-Lee and the W3C Advisory Committee,
composed of representatives from all of the consortium's members, will
eventually make the final decision on the policy. My previous
interaction with the Advisory Committee and Berners-Lee lead me to feel
that they will approve the royalty-free policy.

...

Now, we must take this fight elsewhere. Although IETF has customarily
been held up as the paragon of openness, they currently allow
royalty-bearing patents to be embedded in their standards. This must
change, and IETF has just initiated a policy discussion to that effect.
We must pursue similar policies at many other standards bodies, and at
the governments and treaty organizations that persist in writing bad
law.

...

 I'd like to give credit to HP. Because I was representing SPI, and HP
had someone else representing them at W3C, I made it clear to my HP
managers that they would not be allowed to influence my role at W3C -
that would have created a conflict-of-interest for me, as well as giving
HP unfair double-representation. HP managers understood this, and were
supportive. During all but the very end of the process, HP paid my
salary and travel expenses while they knew that I was functioning as an
independent agent who would explicitly reject their orders. Indeed, HP
allowed me to influence their policy, rather than the reverse. This was
the result of enlightened leadership by Jim Bell, Scott K. Peterson,
Martin Fink, and Scott Stallard.

to exploit the latest electronic technologies in areas such as broadcast and
cable TV production, electronic imaging, information processing,
telecommunications, testing & measurement, etc.  Use this opportunity to
network with "techies", and other individuals involved in high-tech development
in Hawaii.
