most of you've probably read this article calling into question, on
ethical grounds some of the claims and attitudes of the open source/free
software 'movement'..
it's thought provoking...

Um, maybe for "sort", but if you're claiming that this approach
extends to I/O redirection in general, then I claim that you're
living dangerously. A convincing demonstration might start with

I second Bill's opinion. I think that the anouncements are a great help to

We made a set of micro OSes, to develop/test plex86
as we code it. You can download source code, but
it only runs those micro OSes thus far.
Our VM (virtual machine) monitor runs in parallel

Hi all,
I'm curious what people use for creating websites under Linux. I know and
love Emacs as an HTML editor, but I'm looking for something for a non-geek/
coder who *doesn't* want to learn HTML, so WYSIWIG would be a good thing.
Anyone know anything similar to DreamWeaver?

Well, on the firewall, you will probably want 2 nics. One for
the internal network, one for the external network.
Otherwise, I'd use ipchains (and probably gfcc to admin it)
and masquerading. Masquerading has problems with certain protocols,
but there's ip_masq_* kernel modules to fix those probl
