6) I almost forgot, the "Downloads (Binary)" link off the main
Xastir page now goes to a Wiki page instead of to a page I was
maintaining on Eskimo.  This should allow us to keep it more
up-to-date as people create new binary downloads/download sites.  As
it exists now there are links to _very_ old binary downloads that
should probably be scrubbed.  Perhaps anything older than 1.9.x
should be deleted?

Yea, that's cuz Fedora is a 'pure' distro. No proprietary code or closed 
source license stuff of any kind included. That means the firmware 
images you need for your wireless stuff have to be provided by 3rd party.


Same with MP3 stuff, etc...

Only prob with Fedora in a 'production' type environment is it's 
amazingly rapid release cycle. If you're up to upgrading once a year or 
so - go for it. For me, it works - I like doing new stuff and playing. 
That's what Fedora is for.


But if you need something that'll "last" for more than a year or so (say 
3 to 5), is also up to date and reliable, take a good hard look at CentOS.

http://www.centos.org/

Basically same deal as a Fedora, but has longer support cycles. Much 
better suited for 'production' type environments, but still familiar and 
up to date.


Mmm, may have talked my self into an install or two...

Wireless is a bugger no matter which distro you have.  With Fedora, I
have to use ndiswrapper on my laptop - the bcm43xx driver sort of
works with my BCM4318 chip, but only at 11Mb - to get full 802.11g
support I have to use ndiswrapper with the windows driver.  The Livna
fedora repo has a pre-built ndiswrapper package that works well.

I've been happily using CentOS, which is RHEL with the trademarks 
scraped off and the code recompiled and repackaged.  RHEL repositories 
will work with CentOS and it's certainly stable.  And the distro cost is 
right.


Last couple of times I used debian distro's I found they put things in 
strange places.

But I see now that it's your version of GEOS generating the errors.  Can't 
help

you there.  You might try updating that before trying a more recent GDAL.
You will need a more recent GDAL than 1.3.0, but that won't help if you 
still

have a version of GEOS installed that has headers that won't compile with
your compiler.

Try 1.3.2 --- these C++ errors are due to gcc 4.x being much more strict 
about C++ syntax than older versions.  The syntax problems have been fixed

Not exactly a screwup but a design decision that I don't particularly  
care for.  Most wiki software requires than pretty much everything  
(user, filename, directory, link, etc) be a WikiWord - a word or  
phrase in mixed case.


I'm a bit surprised you were allowed to use a word with only one  
uppercase letter; one is usually forced to resort to things like  
Kg4Wsv or Kg4wsV to meet a "more than one capital letter" requirement.

Done, never edited a Wiki before, that was fun.

Of course there was one screw up. When I registered, I ended up with the 
user name N2diy, when I intended to use n2diy. I didn't see a way to 
change that?

Go ahead and make that change to the Wiki, it sounds like a good one
to me.  Small tweaks like that over time really help out the docs.

Sounds like a good idea.

BTW:  I plan to do the full release today.  Didn't find time
yesterday to do it.  This means that the "bleeding edge" stuff isn't
bleeding very much right now and is a reasonable option for you.
The release today will be the exact same code.

Hi Gang,

I fetched the latest CVS tonight, and had one surprise.

I think I ended up with the bleeding edge version?

I followed the directions in the Wiki, and as the check out was in 
progress, I continued reading. That is when I realized I could have 
selected the stable or release versions.


Perhaps a note could be added to the beginning of that section, 
indicating three check out options follow?
