Check out the Free Software Foundation. They have an excellent article describing the differences between Free Software and Open Source software. If you value freedom (free- as in speech, not free- as in beer) then do yourself a favor and educate yourself and inform others.

Im a linux:newbie.
I have seen linux in action, have always been curious about it. but really know little about it. im ready to take the dive

I got my hands on a compaq armada 1550DMT laptop which I upgraded to its
whopping 80mb ram. it has a 4 gig HD and 133mhz pentium processor.

I plan on just using it for the very basic stuff. word processing,
internet,email. MAYBE occasionally downloading something once in a while but
thats not on top of the list, so mostly just email and web surfing.

its currently running win me(yuck)
i have a generic wifi card that says its compatible with red hat.
(11MBPS wireless lan pcmcia adapter)
will red hat run on such a low laptop system if i install it? if not what linux
shoud I go with and what wifi card would be compatible? Does the linux os come
with a firewall and virus protection or would i have to use Macafee or norton or
something(and are these linux compatible as well)?

I appreciate any and all input.

Non-Profit Org to Commission Programmer[s] for OpenSource Freeware

Reply to: AINPO@care2.com

We are seeking windows/apple/Linux/Pocket PC capable compilers and open source publishers (C++, Perl, python?), and ANY Artificial Intelligence, Random Number Generation,or bot implementation specialists. Decompiler capable folks welcome as well.
This Project will pay from a Small non-profit grant/stipend and will be distributed Copyleft/open source.

Part of the interface would mimic the NYSE/NASDAQ/etc boards with Glyphic/Iconic
representations of Goods (ex. bag of rice/spirulina/well pump/shovel/automobile bus part VIA Original FONTS LIBRARY) in surplus or demand for local/international barter / donation. IP Telephony would allow for conference calling(virtual PBX) or bandwidth-quota controlled 1 on 1 telephony that could occur on a 28.8k landline successfully.

This program will need:
-Full duplex bandwidth p2p access similar to bit torrent infrastructure
-IP telephony (capable of 28k modem success, primarily for 48k and better-OGG compression?)
-ability to view cad files & pdf
-*generic voice command (simple short syllable recognition that wouldnt require vocal mapping)
-skinnable GUI
-Media player unit
-alternative to gps for satellite positioning interface
-ability to induct volunteered computers for shared-load data processing via network
-chat/bulletin capable with realtime image conveyance(EX. drawing/tutoring software)
-(GRAMMER SENSITIVE)LANGUAGE TRANSLATION VIA TEXT WOULD BE AWESOME
-database inc. almanacs, smog counts etc (see bots)
-Self Contained to a disk?
-Spyware immune
-BBS, webcam, Ham, shortwave integration-(upgrades)

Most of the code for these functions is available open source already.
This Non-Profit Org is seeking compiled and open source versions of a program to facilitate organized bartering/communications amongst (registered?):

A post from LVLUG

Brian — Sun, 08 Jan 2006 20:38:21 GMT

In this installment of my notes on alternative operating systems, I give my initial impressions of FreeBSD. I also want to let everyone know about the open source computer emulator QEMU.

For my initial foray into BSD, I installed a stock FreeBSD via the minimum install CD. The CD is less than 50MB, and performs the majority of it's install via the internet. There is a text menu based install procedure. I have time to explore all the options, and there are alot of them. Luckily, it gives sensible defaults, so you can get a basic system up and running without having to know much about how BSD works. After waiting a while while it downloaded the system via FTP, I rebooted into a functional (console only) FreeBSD installation. At this point, I was satisfied I could install a basic FreeBSD system, so decided to try out PC BSD.

PC BSD was even easier to install. A few mouse clicks, and a complete FreeBSD installation, including KDE, was up and running. This ease means that you don't have as many options as with a stock FreeBSD, but it's intended to give you a working Desktop BSD installation, and it does just that. Other things can be added later if desired.

PC BSD includes it's own package management system, which resolves the issue of library dependancy problems. Any program you install via it's package manager installs the program in it's own directory, and installs a copy of all required libraries in this directory as well. This prevents the conflicts between package versions that sometimes occurs when you update a library at the cost of more disk space. There are not many programs available for this new package manager yet, but the ones that are there make installation as easy as on windows. Go to the website, download the PBI to your desktop, then click on it to run. It will download and install the program, and your ready to go. Uninstalling is just as easy.

But the point of installing FreeBSD was to compare it to Linux distributions, especially Gentoo and Kubuntu. So after looking at the PCBSD package manager, I decided to install the normal BSD package management system, ports. Typing "cvsup /root/post-supfile" downloaded the ports tree to the machine. After that, both the standard BSD install methods were available. pkg_add allows you to install precompiled binaries quickly (when they're available). "pkg_add -r nano" (the -r telling it to download it from a remote site) installed my favorite console editor, so I could edit config files (I've never bothered to learn vi). It's fast, it's easy. I'd been looking at qemu earlier, so I decided to see how that installed. "pkg_add -r qemu" showed that it wasn't available as a binary package. So time to try out ports.

"cd /usr/ports" gets me to the directory. Now to find the package. "make search name=qemu" showed that qemu was in portage, as well as the kqemu accelerator. They are both in the emulation directory. "cd /usr/ports/emulation/qemu" gets me to the right place to install. "make install clean" should download the sources, build it, install it, then clean up any temp files. A quick look at the Makefile shows that it can take the WITH_KQEMU and WITH_HACKS configuration directives to build it with kqemu support and IDE DMA support. So "make WITH_KQEMU=1 WITH_HACKS=1 install clean"....whoops, install failed. kqemu requires the kernel sources, which are not installed by default with PCBSD. Simple to fix, run sysinstall, choose to install packages, choose src, choose sys. It downloads the FreeBSD kernel sources. Retrying the install works fine this time.

Under Gentoo, the process is just as easy. emerge -s qemu (or use one of the faster versions, like eix or esearch) shows several qemu packages and kqemu are in portage, but marked unstable. Adding "app-emulation/qemu-softmmu" and "app-emulation/kqemu" to /etc/portage/package.keyword allows the install. adding "app-emulation/qemu-softmmu kqemu" tells portage to install qemu with kqemu support. Typing "emerge qemu-softmmu" starts the install.

I don't know if Kubuntu has qemu in it's package management system, but if it did, install would involve starting up aptitude, doing a search for qemu, clicking install, then choosing commit.

At this point, qemu w/ kqemu acceleration is installed on both Gentoo and FreeBSD. kqemu requires a module to be loaded to take advantage of the acceleration, so we use "kldload kqemu". Under linux we would have used modprobe kqemu (gentoo requires modprobe kqemu major=0). Different names, just as easy either way.

If we want BSD to automatically load the kernel when booting, we add kqemu_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf. In Gentoo we would have added "kqemu major=0"it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. I'm not sure about Kubuntu, but it's most likely similar to Gentoo. Both methods are pretty easy.

Ok, we now have qemu installed. Installation was fairly simple under both Gentoo and FreeBSD. The reason I wanted to install it was to see if I could get WindowsXP running inside Linux and FreeBSD at reasonable speeds. Qemu is a machine emulator, meaning you create a virutal machine, and can run other operating systems inside this emulator. There are several others out there. Bochs is really good for debugging, but doesn't offer dynamic translation, so it's slow as hell. VirtualPC and VMWare are 2 commercial versions (they run faster than qemu, but cost a fair amount). Plex86 is OSS and fast, but only supports Linux as a guest OS. Xen is another open source one, but it requires that the guest OS be modified to support it. Since we can't legally modify Windows, it's out. So qemu is our only option at this point.

So first I create a 10GB file to use as the virtual hard drive. "qemu-image create -f qcow Win.img 10G" does this on both FreeBSD and Linux. We then insert the WinXP cd into the drive and type "qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d Win.img" (-cdrom cd0 in FreeBSD) starts the virtual system, and tells it to boot from the CD. After a brief view of the qemu bios screen, the Windows install screen comes up, and the install proceeds like any other Windows XP install (more smoothly than some). Already, the speed hit is evident though. The test machines are AMD64 3200+ running at 2.2GHz, so a normal XP install goes by pretty quick. The install on the emulator takes significantly longer, but it's not painfully slow.

After the install is complete, I did an install of Office 2000 (Including publisher), Acrobat reader, mcafee anti-virus (which blows), flash and shockwave plugins for IE, and 30+ windows security updates, and probably some things I'm forgetting. Starting up Office is takes a bit, but once running, it's perfectly useable. The total Image size with all this installed is 3.1G.

It's really cool to run Windows in a window, while still being booted into Linux. Plus, this image is totally portable. All qemu installs emulate the exact same hardware, so once a Windows XP install is activated on the emulator, it can be used on any computer. And since it's hosted on Linux, I can create a new image on a test machine, then push it out to every computer on campus overnight. Or copy an clean one to all lab machines to clean them up between semesters.

Ok, so back to FreeBSD vs Gentoo vs Kubuntu. The package management systems used by FreeBSD are impressive. pkg_add gives you the quick installation of binary distributions, while the huge ports tree gives you the flexibility to customize your packages and install those which don't have binary packages. Add in the PCBSD package manager, and you have alternatives to match every need. Add BSD's legendary stability and security and you have a really good system, whether you use it as a Desktop or a server.

This stability does have a downside though. FreeBSD has a much more controlled release cycle. The result is that the kernel and packages are more stable and secure, but they tend to lag behind those available in linux. The ability to run linux programs under FreeBSD using the linux compatibility layer reduces the impact of this, but this doesn't work for drivers. Both Nvidia and ATI release drivers for linux, but only nvidia has any for FreeBSD (and these seem to lag behind those in linux). You will have to live w/o hardware acceleration if you use an ATI card. KDE 3.5 is already available in both Gentoo and Kubuntu, while FreeBSD ports still has 3.4.3 in it.

In conclusion, PC-BSD is a perfectly usable Desktop enviornment giving you plenty of options on how to install stuff, as well as stability and security. If you don't need bleeding edge versions of software, it's a great OS.

qemu is a really cool program allowing you to run an O/S inside another O/S (you can even emulate different hardware, to run MacOS inside Linux or Windows). If you don't mind that it runs about half as fast as a native Windows install, it works great.

I'll write again once I have more experience with FreeBSD and let you know if it will become my new O/S of choice, or if I'll stick with Gentoo as my main desktop.

New Voices Call for Submissions now live!

digifest organiser — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 16:24:09 GMT

Hey Guys,

We just published the 2006 Telefilm New Voices Call for Submissions at our website - its a PDF you can download from http://www.dx.org/digifest .

I'm not sure if all of you are interested in particular code/program modifications you might want to submit but thought you'd find this interesting anyway :)

Here's some info:

--

digifest has gone mod! The ‘mod’ theme - short for modern in the ‘60s - and currently used to mean modification - reveals inspiring and surprising innovations in digital design, art and cultural expression.

We invite you to participate in digifest 2006: mods, an interdisciplinary festival of the best in innovative new media, art and design from Canada and abroad. This year participants will have the opportunity to express the individual’s role within larger systems, be they political, social or corporate, through their own unique and personalized modifications to off-the-shelf products. Modification possibilities may range from personal computers to clothing; from podcasts to public space; from video games and cell phones to cars or dwellings. The do-it-yourself aspect of this year’s digifest means that the range of modifications is endless, with creativity leading the way in unconventional expression.

Each year 8-12 winners of the juried digifest New Voices call are invited to Toronto, Canada to showcase their work at one of digifest’s high-profile venues, which include Harbourfront Centre, Ontario Science Centre and Design Exchange. In 2006 we will showcase the most innovative transitions in product design from “modern” to “modification.” Work by selected presenters will be installed or displayed. Get your submission in today!

OpenSolaris

gravax — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 12:50:19 GMT

Sun Microsystems made Solaris 10 free for all uses quite some time ago (you can download the SPARC or x84 version from : http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp)... And somewhat more recently, it's now been made available with an open source license directly downloadable in source, binary, or through the CVS source browser at http://www.opensolaris.org/ ... this is cool stuff!

I need the help of some leftist/anarchist programmers

Sun, 15 May 2005 22:24:20 GMT

The reason I ask, is because I need someone's help with a project, and they'd be much more likely to help if they agreed with what I was trying to do with it.

I'm a member of the Freespace coaliton. We are a Toronto based coalition of autonamour project group that have a collectivised, money free economy.

Or at least we're trying to be. For now there are only a few groups, and not much money, nor many resources... but we're growing.

What I mean by project group, is a collective working on building, or doing one specific thing. For example, the most prominent project group in the coalition at the time is the Freespace Soundsystem. We put on underground raves, usually for free, in the abandoned spaces of the city. Others groups are the Scavangers/builders collective (wich consists of some of the same members as the soundsystem) wich builds neat stuff out of junk, like the giant Yurt that we sometimes set up for our raves, and the Community Zine (pretty self explanatory)...

There are other groups, but I think you get the picture.

you can check out more at www.freespace.cc

Now, What we need, is a program that will help all of the different groups stay connected online, but beyond that, implement the non-heiarchical structure that we're trying to implement. It's less important now, but as we grow, especially as we grow to include more and more members that are not immediately in touch in person, we'll need this program to keep the whole organisation running, especially as, since it's not meant to have a head of any real kind, (although there are some randomly selected adminitrators for some things) the only structure the system will have at all, will be that wich is hardwired into a software program.

So, I'm looking for someone to help me either use an existing program (if there is one that can do the job) or perhaps build one for us to use. I really can't do this myself, because I don't have the time, nor do I have the knowhow. Neither does anyone else in the group at the moment. But there must be people out there who can do it, and agree enough with what we're doing to try.

So... here's a list of what it is that I need the program to do... in short form. If anyone's interested in taking this project on, I'll fll you in on more from there.

A) (Membership)

allows groups to sign up for the coalition.
-prompts for - name of group, 3 peoples' names, e-mail adresses, inventory of tools used, lcoation of members

maintains list of all members

B) (Funding council)

allows groups to fill out pre-formatted funding request form. (asking the coalition for funding)

picks funding council (wich gives out money to groups), monthly, randomly from list of all members of all groups in coalition
-allows council to reveiew funding requests
-allows council to allot funds to requests from tresury
-allows council to review previous finances of Coalition

C) (Tribunal)

allows all members to call for tribunal investigation
-prompts for type of investigation (1 expell individual,2 expell group,3 allow group extra individuals,4 assign group as central communal industry,5 other investigation)
-Prompts for investigation location (to pick members close to investigation)
-picks tribunal randomly from list of members, notifies by e-mail
prompts tribunal for results, autmatically carries out results for options 1,2,3,4
-notifies all community of tribunal results

D) Finances

Allows central Trade Organisation to pick or change Project group representatives, and central representatives
allows representatives to add budget changes to their field. imputting ammounts into the seperate budgets of the project groups, or of coalition wide product lists.

Example:

June 5th - expenses - Gasoline
Freespace soundsystem - 20 litres - $18.00
Heating Collective - 10 litres - $9.00
Lawn Maintenace commitiee - 10 litres - 9.00

Gasoline total - june 5th - 40 lites - $36.00

-OR-

June 5th - expenss - Freespace Soundsystem
Gasoline - 20 lites - $18.00
Maintenece - Gennie - $102.00
Wire, audio - 65.00
Wire, electrical - 18.00

Soundsystem total - $201.00

expenses and revenue to be entered dayly as they happen

program maintains database of expenses and revenue based both on products and project groups.

Allows interested parties to see both what project groups are spending what kind of money and on what, and what products are being purchased by why and for how much.

Also allows to see what products are being sold by who and for how much as well as what project groups are making what money, and on what products.

fincanes to be displayed in monthly ledgers, and yearly ledgers. Commuinity members to have acess to both, univited guests to have acess only to yearly budhgets.

E) Resource Sharing

Each project group to select member who is to maintain online an inventory of all products produced, available for sale, or for free internal distribution.

Each project group free to create or join 1 guild. Guild votes for 1 person to maintain list of guild capital resources for all groups in guild (ie, speakers, generator, or ie portable saw mill, hand tools, power tools, etc)

person to be notified by e-mail of any changes to sytatus, guild free to elect new rep whenever votes change.

Both product and capital resouce lists to be accesable to everyone in coalition or outside of it.

(F) Communication

-people responsible for certain tasks are e-mailed prompts to go online and do task.

- monthly e-mail is sent out listing funding council, results of tribunals, and public announcements afterwords all at once, that anyonce can enter over the course of the month.

- individuals can send messages to groups, like project groups, guilds, funding councils, tribunals, etc... Program selns e-mails to everyone autmatically, person only selects group to send to.

-person can create poll (vote on issue), members prompted to vote or add and option. When time expires or everyone votes (prompted as they log on) everyone is e-mailed the results immediately.

(G) Interface

Functioning a lot like... perhaps an old BBS... A person logs on with a password, is given access to whatever functions they are responsible to do / have access too (funding council options, tribunal results, project group production imput, finances, etc)

does buisness, is prompted with new duties/queries for imput when neccicary, and loggsoff.

Prompted by e-mail to attend to duties as they come up, prompted again of duties as logging in.

Messages are sent by e-mail, but prompted to check e-mail when logging on, every time new messages sent.

So... yeah... There might actually be a program that could do this... Wich would be nice... but there may not be...

Can someone please help with this. This computer program is kina the make-or-break of this project here... without it, there is no coalition.

Rhythmbox

geckooooo — Wed, 14 Jul 2004 17:15:34 GMT

I'm looking for an iTunes-like solution for my Linux desktop. I discovered Rhythmbox, and it seems to fit the bill... mostly. The main omission seems to be the lack of AAC support. I have a share of ripped music on my server that is a mix of MP3 and AAC, and it doesn't look like it deals with the AAC files at all, at least out-of-the-box.

So I have a few questions:

1. Is there anything I can install that will add AAC support to Rhythmbox?
2. Do the developers of Rhythmbox have any plans to add AAC support?
3. Is there another iTunes-like program for Linux that supports both MP3 and AAC?

Thanks,
G

Switching over

TempO — Tue, 20 Jan 2004 09:58:45 GMT

So, I'm wanting to switch over from MS Windows to Gnu/Linux for my new Dell laptop.

Where do I begin? Is there a place to get a free version of the OS, or does one have to purchase it from some one like Red Hat?

The tech support isn't free, but is the software itself free? How bout all the other programs one would want like a universal text editor? Excel-like spreed sheets? Email programs? Picture viewers and editors? Music players? Etc.

Does Gnu/Linux OS have additional prorams that can read and edit old Word and Excel documents? Do all the margins get messed up like going from Mac to MS?

Is there a good link on te web to have simple questions like these aske and answered?

``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in ``free beer.''

http://www.gnu.org

Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

* The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
* The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
* The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
