Linux Is the 2.6 kernel ready for general distribution?

Linux Is the 2.6 kernel ready for general distribution? Thursday March 25, 2004 - [ 12:10 PM GMT ] Printer-friendly Email Story Topics: Linux , Open Source , Software , Operating Systems By: Robin 'Roblimo' Miller Mandrake 10 has it, SUSE's rolling it out in 9.1, Gentoo has had a "test" version with it since last year, and now we'll probably see almost every commercial distribution move to 2.6.x within the next month or two because of competitive pressure. This is not in line with the basic "it's ready when it's ready" dictum that is given as the reason open source software is often technically superior to proprietary competitors. http://software.newsforge.com/software/04/03/19/1912222.shtml?tid=132&tid=2… -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Good morning every one, Was searching google, some how reached a thread of 2001. Does this library exist today? http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20010716/000763.html -Krishna Content of the link, for your easy access! Navin linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Wed Jul 18 02:18:03 2001 * Previous message: [ILUG-BOM] OT - stopping CD piracy * Next message: [ILUG-BOM] OT - stopping CD piracy * Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi, Lets setup a library where members can borrow cds/books/mags. We can try for sponsorships or for a very minimum contribution @ month say 99/-. I will sponsor some linux, bsd, oracle cds & also the dotNET shows. But this way we will be able to spread gnu/linux & bsd faster & in a better way. Can Dr. Nagarjun, Philip, NCST or FreeOS Labs or anyother organistation /lugger take initiative in this.

Reminder for you... (cool script)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Can anyone help me to adapt this script to: (i) give me a reminder not just for the current day, but all upcoming days for the entire month. Maybe the next 15 or 30 days, to allow me to plan ahead. (ii) Pipe this reminder to email to myself. Thanks! FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- TWO INTERESTING tiny scripts below, from *Wicked Cool Shell Scripts* (Dave Taylor, No Starch Press, 2004, San Francisco). Both combine to implement a simple calendar program that help you keep track of the events. Extremely useful in the real world of work... The first script, *addagenda*, enables you to specify either recurring or one-time events. All dates are validated and saved, along with one-line event description, in an *.agenda* file in your home directory. For its part, the second script, *agenda*, checks all known events, showing which are scheduled for the current date. Useful for remembering birthdays, events, appointments, schedules. HOW IT WORKS: Weekly, annual and one-time events are accepted. As entries are added to the agenda file, their specified dates are 'normalized' and compressed so that 3 April becomes 3Apr, and Thursday becomes Thu. The *agenda* script checks for events by taking the current date and transforming it into three possible date string formats. It then simply compares each of these date strings to each line in the *.agenda* data file. This script, writes Dave Taylor, just "scratches the surface of this complex and interesting topic". It would be nice to have a look a few days ahead. This script could be used on a *nix box to send out systemwide reminders. Imagine newspaper reporters getting a reminder of what's on the schedule on that day. Simply have the *agenda* script on each user's machine point to a shared read-only .*agenda* file, and then add a call to the agenda script in each user's *.login* or similar file.

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux
by Trevor Warren 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux by Henry Kingman (Mar. 23, 2004) O'Reilly's "Pocket Guide" series of books are among the most-used books on my book shelf. These slim volumes are a refreshing departure from the "bigger is better" norm among computer book publishers, most of whom use large fonts, out-of-date excerpts from the Linux Documentation Project How-Tos, and of course a CD or two in the back to amass reference tomes more impressive in bulk than in content or organization. As an editor myself, I understand the value of organizing and condensing information. Mark Twain certainly said it well when he ended a long letter with an apology about not having had the time to write at shorter length. http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT7471953382.html -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Hello Luggers, My query is withe respect to JAVA Native Interfcae (JNI) on Linux A JNI call is an inproc or outproc call? My thought: Its an inproc call. Any java application has at least one instance of JVM (a process). All the java byte code would be executed using functions in libjvm.so and other helper shared libs. A System.loadLibrary() call will invoke some func in libjvm.so (or other helper) and do the task of making the said library available to the current JVM (I.e. the .so will be loaded in JVM process 's address space) Thus a native method call would be an inprocess call. Is my thinking correct?Indiatimes Email now powered by APIC Advantage. Help! HelpClick on the image to chat with me
