EVMS 2.1.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=289226
The EVMS team is announcing the next major release of the Enterprise Volume Management System. Package 2.1.0 is now available for download. This release is for the new EVMS design, which is based on user-space volume discovery and communication with existing kernel drivers, such as MD/Software-RAID and Device-Mapper. Downloads at the project page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/evms/ Please see the INSTALL file in the 2.1.0 package for information about installing and getting started with the new EVMS. Since this new design is based on user-space discovery, there will no longer be boot-time volume activation. Please see the INSTALL file for information about how to activate your volumes using the EVMS user-interfaces and utilities. The INSTALL file also contains instructions for how users may easily "upgrade" an existing 2.4 kernel with Device-Mapper and EVMS 2.0.1 patches. Please see the README file in the 2.1.0 package for more detailed notes concerning this release and it's new features. EVMS 2.1.0 is supported on 2.4.21, 2.4.20, 2.4.19, and 2.5.73 kernels. If you have any questions, find any bugs, or simply want to report success stories, please send email to the EVMS mailing list (evms-devel@lists.sf.net) or visit the EVMS IRC channel (irc.freenode.net, #evms). Please see the notes and changelog at: http://www.sf.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=168707

Berkeley TCP socket interface for the Apple IIgs
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/11/0355231
[0]Scott C. Linnenbringer writes "In case you wanted to do something
cool with your fancy little Apple IIgs in the back room, you can use
[1]GS/TCP to implement a standard BSD socket interface, allowing you to
connect via SLIP, MacIP, and soon PPP on a GNO/ME (GNO Multitasking
Environment) UNIX system for the IIgs, now completely abandoned,
open-sourced and [2]labeled freeware. GS/TCP also comes with ftp and
inetd, built with ORCA/C directly from BSDi sources (hacked, of
course,) and a text web browser for GNO/ME can be found at the
website."

Last 2.5.x Linux Kernel Released
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/11/0247217
Kourino writes "Today on [0]LKML, Linus released 2.5.75, which he said
will be "the last 2.5.x kernel from me", and that he and Andrew Morton
are [1]going to start a 2.6-pre series soon. While this certainly does
mean things could get interesting soon, don't hold your breath about
seeing the actual 2.6 for a while; there are still many areas that need
work. This essentially means that the development branch is going into
maintenance mode, and new features probably won't get in after this
point. Changes of note in 2.5.75 include a merge of the anticipatory
scheduler from Andrew Morton's -mm tree and updates from several
architectures."

Courts Block Washington Violent Game Law http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/11/0019242
Thanks to Reuters/Yahoo for their report that the enforcement of a
Washington state law, designed to restrict the sale of violent video
games to minors, [0]has been postponed. U.S. District Judge Robert
Lasnik blocked [1]enforcement of the law, set to start July 27th, and
to impose fines on anyone selling games to minors depicting violence
against 'law enforcement officers', saying: "Plaintiffs have raised
serious questions regarding the constitutionality of House Bill 1009
and the balance of hardships tips in their favor." Doug Lowenstein of
the [2]IDSA praised the move, praising "..the judge's finding that
games are a form of protected speech like music and movies", but the
Washington Democrat politician sponsoring the bill suggested that
"..any injunction would only be preliminary and that.. the case [will]
go to trial." The saga continues..

http://www.idsa.comMailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/10/2352251
[0]CowboyRobot writes "Who would ever, in this time of the greatest
interconnectivity in human history, go back to shipping bytes around
via snail mail as a preferred means of data transfer? Jim Gray would do
it, that's who. And we're not just talking about Zip disks, no sir.
We're talking about [1]shipping entire hard drives, or even complete
computer systems, packed full of disks. David Patterson (one of the
developers of both RISC and RAID) interviews ACM Turing Award winner
Jim Gray." Back in school we always had a saying, "Never underestimate
the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with backup tapes." Seems like
that still holds true.

"Quick 'n Dirty" vs. "Correct and Proper"? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/10/219227
A [0]not-so Anonymous Coward enters this query: "I keep finding myself on projects where a quick and dirty solution will bring in money for the company, and a correct (ie, properly documented, well engineered, process followed, etc) solution will get us left in the dust. When the Q&D solution succeeds, I'm left trying to explain why it can't be the FINAL solution (to PHBs and Marketroids that were fully informed of the situation prior to any work getting done). Most recently, work I did in record time was used to help bring in several large contracts, and then I found myself in hot water for not having followed process et al. So, to Slashdot: is it better to do the quick thing and greatly increase the chance of $uccess now, or to do the correct thing and avoid pain later (assuming there is money to pay for the pain later)?"

controversy about SCO vs. Linux has popped up over at the O'Reilly Open

agreed that SCO is targeting companies like IBM in an attempt to raise
cash. Most importantly: "if a company is not after money, suing is not

Linux on the Desktop
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/10/1630225
[0]webmaven writes "Mitch Kapor's [1]Open Source Application Foundation
just [2]released a 34 page [3]report on the Desktop Linux market,
written by Bart Decrem, who has [4]discussed desktop Linux previously.
The OSAF is working on [5]Chandler, which the press have generally
described as an 'Outlook Killer', but it's really intended to be in a
completely new application category, [6]more similar to Lotus Agenda in
some ways than what currently consider a PIM (email + contacts +
appointments). The report goes into some detail about the current state
of desktop Linux, trends, and various limiting factors, and concludes
that while a revolution is not immediately in the wings, a trend can
definitely already be discerned, and they expect adoption of desktop
Linux to increase over the next few years, and identifies leverage
points to accelerate the process."
