看到 Linux 2.6.14 的 change log，才忽然想到其實 SGI 對 Linux 貢獻不少: XFS, FAM, GLX 等等.. 如果他們倒閉了對 Linux 也是一種損失 (尤其是 XFS 的後續開發)。

Linux kernel 2.6.14 gets released

2005-11-06T03:16:00.000-08:00

我覺得比較重要的： FUSE (File system in Userspace)，Intel Centrino driver。

http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8664091380.html

Nov. 05, 2005

Better late than never, the new Linux kernel, version 2.6.14, became available late last week. Originally, the latest kernel was to show up on Oct. 7. Linus Torvalds explained that the release been "delayed twice due to some last-minute bug-reports, some of which ended up being false alarms (hey, I should be happy, but it was a bit frustrating)."

Good things may come to those who wait.

Compared with 2.6.13, the 2.6.14 kernel includes changes "all over the place," said Torvalds. The big change in the standard kernel is that it now includes Centrino Wi-Fi support.

Many Linuxes, such as SUSE 10 and Xandros 3 already support Centrino through the use of ipw2xxx drivers and Linux's hotplug infrastructure. This enables the Centrino cards or mini-adaptor's firmware to be switched out with a Linux-compatible interface. For further technical details with how this is done with the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection mini PCI adapter, see the SourceForge site.

By incorporating this support within the kernel, it makes it easier for Linux distributors to support Centrino-based Wi-Fi. However, vendors must still obtain the Intel driver firmware itself separately from the kernel due to Intel's licensing restrictions.

Besides many smaller improvements in InfiniBand, USB and SCSI support, the new kernel also came with significant file system support improvements.

These include updates for the Silicon Graphics Inc.'s 64-bit XFS and Microsoft's NTFS (New Technology File System). In addition, improvements were made to Linux's VFS (virtual file system).

With this kernel, FUSE (File system in Userspace) has also been merged into Linux.

FUSE, like the no-longer-supported LUFS, is designed to provide an abstract interface for making remote files and file systems appear and act as if they were on your local file system. Therefore, for example, developers and expert users can set up their systems so that users can easily access ftp or SMB (Simple Message Block) file systems just as if they were local file systems.

More advanced users may be interested in exploring FUSE's more advanced functionality. Since in Linux, almost anything can be treated as a file, you can also use FUSE to access Google's GMail and BitTorrent streams as file systems.

Some had hoped that the Reiser4 high-performance file system would be merged into this kernel, but it was left out due to concerns over its consistency with VFS and other Linux features. These are being addressed, and Reiser4 should become an official part of Linux in the near future.

In the meantime, Torvalds plans to only accept code merges for the two weeks after 2.6.14's release, before freezing features for the next release candidate, 2.6.15. This new policy has been adopted to keep the constant flood of would-be improvements from overwhelming the kernel's core developers.

考古佐證: 泡麵是中國人發明的! 哈!

2005-10-13T20:58:00.000-07:00

上面是我自己改的標題啦....

考古佐證麵條起源中國　全球最古老麵條出土　距今4000年
【東森新聞報記者周永旭／編譯】

義大利、阿拉伯和中國人都宣稱自己是第一個發明麵條的民族，現在新的考古發現支持了麵條是中國人發明的說法。

考古學家在青海挖掘出一碗麵條遺跡，年代已經有4000年之久，比先前考古所知麵條歷史還早了2000年。

北京的中國社科院研究員呂厚遠（Lu Houyuan）在青海民和縣的黃河流域附近，挖掘出一碗黃色的麵條，經過碳十四鑑定，這碗麵有4000年歷史，呂厚遠說，「這肯定是至今發現最早的麵條。」

這碗麵是在民和縣喇家村的黃土高原氾濫區的地底3公尺處挖出，麵已經煮過，被覆在一個倒扣的碗中，長約50公分，直徑約0.3公分，與今日的拉麵很像，捲成如拳頭般大小﹔麵是以小米和黍製成，而非今日麵條的主要原料麵粉或者米。

社科院考古學家在同一個地方考古了數年，陸續挖出內有人骨化石的房子，陶器，石器和玉石藝品，以及動物的骨骸，呂厚遠表示，以這些物品的狀態研判，煮麵的人當時遇到大地震引發的洪水，全村幾乎都被水淹沒了。

麵條的起源是在哪裡，在考古界爭論已久，義大利，阿拉伯以及中國都宣稱是麵條發源地，呂厚遠說，「中國人說，馬可波羅把麵條從中國帶到義大利，義大利人說，他們在那之前就已經有麵條了。

這些都是根據史料，個人看法，但是到今天之前，我們一直無法發現確切證據。」

之前所發現年代最早的麵條是距今約2000年的東漢時期。

2005-08-12T19:24:00.000-07:00

這次的發行好像真的很安靜，可能因為很難看出到底有什麼更新吧? 目前我看到的是比較重要應該是對加強對無線網路的支援吧。

"Wireless is better integrated in Gentoo thanks to a baselayout update a month or so ago," Vermeulen explained. "Baselayout now has an easy way of dealing with several wireless networks using a single configuration file (/etc/conf.d/net). It includes support for wpa_supplicant, ndiswrapper, etc. We have added an entire part in the Gentoo handbook about networking support with the new baselayout."

Torvalds為Linux找新家

Torvalds looking for new Linux home

啥~ 原來 Distrowatch 是在台灣噢?

2005-04-08T13:41:00.000-07:00

(不知道為什麼每天都會誤打誤撞的看到一些怪東西.... =_= )

http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/article.php?id_article=752

站長是~~巴基斯坦人~~(Thx Benny),先前是在非洲做跟礦業有關的工作,然後在因緣際會下後來到在百資(Linpus)工作18個月。現在則是完全專心負責 Distrowatch 的運作,收入完全靠廣告(強)。其它的就自己去看吧。其中幾段話我覺得還滿有趣的:

FH: Big part of electronic devices come from Taiwan. How you see the difference between new dynamic economy as that of Taiwan and old economy with tradition like the Czech one. Is it in the people? In the government?

LB: (略) The difference between the Asian tigers and Europe is that people here are much more motivated to make money. Money is vitally important to them so they talk about money all the time.
(文化大不同.... )

They work hard and work long hours to make more money. It always fascinated me to see that most shops here are open from 10am to 10pm every day, including Saturdays and Sundays!

Also, they tend to be less pragmatic(實際的) about failures - if they start a business which fails after a short period of time, they simply blame it on bad feng shui(錯在風水) or unfavourable constellation(不幸的日月星象), rather than themselves(絕對不是自己的錯). Then they move on and try something else(然後就算了,問題還是沒解決).

FH: How is it with Linux distros in Taiwan? In Czech Republic is No. 1 Mandrake, than probably Debian and Suse, is it so in Taiwan?

LB: (略)...
Unfortunately, most of Asia is pretty dead when it comes to Linux, especially on the desktop (with the possible exception of Thailand). Asia's governments are virtually "married" to Microsoft and they spend an insane amount of money on licensing Windows for schools and public offices. If they diverted just a tiny fraction of it to sponsor open source software and make it more useable for local users, Asian desktop Linux could be a reality.
真是一針見血....

他知道台灣的 Linux 社群嗎? 好奇.... 似乎他還是在台灣生活的樣子。
有趣的訪問...

Just switch! - Multi-language Support in StarOffice 8

看來以後要在 Staroffice 裡換語言的界面是一件相當容易的事(雖然好像實際功用不大...)。不過我想中文的 Linux 用家還是得去抓 Firefly patch 過得版本，除非 Firefly 的 patch 可以正式的被收入.....

還有，那個 Turbo Media Player 根本就是 Xine。Turbo 跟 M$ 買授權好讓 Xine 合法去播放 wma，為了 CSS 所以叫 Cyberlink 出 PowerDVD Linux 版本，可是 Xine 本身就可以放 DVD。結論：神奇的名字(F...)，神奇的軟體(PowerDVD)，神奇的組合(PowerDVD + Xine)，神奇的套件 (Turbo...)。

Sexy GNUstep

2005-04-04T03:11:00.000-07:00

其實 GNUstep 的架構相當完整，並不會輸給 KDE 或是 Gnome。
而且最大的好處是軟體要 port 到 Mac OS X 並不難。
可惜目前人力資源較少。
記得以前 GOT 上面也有一個 GNUstep 專門的 forum。

也需會那天抓 GNUstep Livd CD 來玩玩吧？

Gentoo 2005.1 Installer

2005-03-29T18:41:00.000-08:00

應該很多人都知道了 http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/gli

不過有人注意到第一行文字了嗎：

Welcome to The Gentoo Linux Installer. This is a TESTING release. If your system dies a horrible, horrible death, don't come crying to us (okay. you can cry to kileber).

工程師也滿搞笑的 :p

From OSNews:

Andrew Gaffney, one of our main developers, is doing an incredible job to get the new gentoo installer ready to be included in the 2005.1 release:

From OSNews:
The installer will be the default in 2005.1 but of course you will still be able to install everything by hand. A modern distro simply needs to offer a graphical installer and this is a crucial step to ensure the survival of this great distro. We are confident this will increase our user base dramatically.

我想很多目前人都習慣了文字界面的裝法，而且 Gentoo 文件寫的相當清楚，其實安裝難度並不高。不過我對 Gentoo GUI 的推出還是給于高度的肯定，必竟目前 Gentoo 還是一個小眾的 distro (1)，如果 Gentoo Foundation 要繼續下去，它必需要有更多人們對它的接收度，其中降低安裝的難度是重要的第一步驟，才不會讓人覺的這是 1337 才會去用的 distro。一旦接收度提高才會有更多資金捐贈的機會。

而且 GUI 的 install 還是有好處，如果你現在叫我重新裝一遍，我還是得一邊看手冊，一邊看我自己的筆記才有可能裝的起來，叫我空手裝我也辦法。也且除非你有第二台電腦，你還得必需把手冊印出來 (除非你真的是 1337)。所以Gentoo 的安裝難度真的比起它的 distro 高出一些。所以 GUI installer 還是有優點的。

不過 2005.1 還是會有文字安裝的選擇的。 :)

(其實 Gentoo GUI installer 的實作早就出現過了，有一款 distro 叫 VidaLinux (Screenshot)，可以算是 Gentoo fork 的版本，不過 Vida 的人不願意和 Gentoo developers 合作，完全沒有回饋 Gentoo，是個在 Gentoo community 鄙視(3)的套件。)(4) (5)

Kernel package 的改變：
http://www.beejaysworld.de/archives/18-Gentoo-Linux-2005.0-is-out.html

from now on, linux-2.6 headers will be the default

development-sources will be moved to vanilla-sources

gentoo-dev-sources will be moved to gentoo-sources

當然 Gentoo 2005.0 出來了！　:)
提到一點目前資金捐贈的狀況，目前捐贈似乎還不錯，我也捐了一點啦....
我可不希望 Gentoo 變成商業味很重的 distro，各位有點愛心的話也幫一點吧！:)

Break my gentoo!

2005-03-25T17:58:00.000-08:00

最近 Gentoo 的變動還真多....
剛剛才把 kernel 重新 compile 一次，gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.11-r4 已經把 inotify patch 直接加進去了，對我這種不喜歡手動 patch 的懶人很剛好。而且既然 official 把 inotify 加進去應該就有一定的穩定度了...

既然有 inotify，就要正確的使用它的威力嘍！ ^^
第一步就是把老舊的 fam 還掉！
不過既然有 inotify，不知道為什麼 official 不把 gamin 放到 stable....(Fedora 早就直接用 gamin 嘍！)
對我這種不太喜歡用 ~x86 的人有點小不爽...
anyway.... 我還是給它用了！ XD

emerge unmerge fam
rc-update del famd default
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gamin
gamin 是 user space 的，所以不必以 init script 來起動，emerge 完就可以直接用了！^^
我現在略用的感覺是比 fam 好很多，在 nautilus 下開檔案比 fam 快，而且不會像以前 fam 會讓硬碟吱吱叫，穩定很多。

下一步，Beagle！又要用更多的 ~x86 了！(~抖)

(續)

汪汪！小狗來了！
超～～～～酷的！一切都是即時跟新！
The picture says it all!

(續)

甚至還可以跟 Firefox 結合 (加 Firefox Beagle extension 後)！
小狗護駕後 Gnome 已經完美了！ :p

哇哈哈~ 居然發現這種好康物! Xming

2005-03-12T04:55:00.000-08:00

Xming 是一個 Windows 版的 x-server 就跟 cygwin 附的 x-sever 一樣。不過它小很多，安裝檔也只有 9.1MB + 一些字型檔，不像 cygwin 必須裝一堆有的沒的，設訂也複雜。xming 幾乎不必設定。如果你只需要 remote X，xming 是不錯的選擇。以下是我剛剛是成功的例子：畫面前端是 Linux 上的 Epiphany，後面的是 Windows 上的 Firefox。這是我剛剛隨便 Google 找來的使用步驟： 1. 安裝好 xming！ :p 2. 可以的話再加裝字型檔，避免出問題。 :p 3. 這時你應該會有 xming 的捷徑，按滑鼠右鍵，在 target 裡修改：增加 -ac 這個選項 (*待會解釋 )。 4. 記得設定你的 Windows 防火牆，讓你的 Linux 主機可以和 Windows 溝通。 5. 打開 putty，在 Tunnel裡把 X11 forwarding 勾選。 6. 連線到 Linux 主機，在 console 下輸入: export DISPLAY="Your.IP.Address.Here:0.0"。請把 Your.IP.Address.Here 換成你 Windows 的 IP address。 7. 輸入 xterm &。如果在 Windows 下看到 xterm 就表示成功了！ ^_^ *其實應該是不用(?) -ac 這個選項，似乎也不太建議使用這個選項(?)，不過我現在還搞不太清楚狀況，每次我連到 Windows，Linux 的 console 就會出現 Xlib: No protocol specified 的錯誤訊息。如果你知道解答，歡迎提供訊息！ ^^ 你也個以對 xming 做其它設定，例如你可以在 xming 的捷徑裡把 -multiwindow 移除，這樣你的 xming 就會變成視窗模式。還有其他設定就請你自己看文件嘍！參考文獻: http://planet.arslinux.com/ http://www.ipaterson.ca/writings/technical/remote.x.steps.html http://www.uky.edu/ComputingCenter/SSTARS/cctest_info/connecting_to_cctest_using_putty.htm

GNOME 2.10 What's new mini review.

http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/gnome-2-10/
The File Manager
The File Manager The file manager, also known as Nautilus, is even faster and more stable in GNOME 2.10, thanks to changes to its internal architecture.
更快了！真的嗎？
* The path button is now more obviously a button.
這個 Ubuntu Linux Gnome 2.8 就有了... 還算實用。
* When creating new files, renaming starts automatically.
小改變，還算有用。
* When using keyboard navigation to open the parent folder (Alt-Up), the current folder will be selected.
不喜歡....
Window Behaviour
GNOME 2.10 has a new ability that you might not notice at first, implementing another cross-desktop Freedesktop.org standard.
In the past, while typing something into one application when suddenly your instant messenger offered a chat request from your friend, your words would be typed into the chat window. Imagine if you were typing your password at the time. This should no longer happen in GNOME 2.10.
In addition, if an application takes a long time to start, your work will not be interrupted when it finally opens its window.
小改變，還算有用。
Applications
Video Player
GNOME 2.10 now includes the popular Totem video player, using GNOME's GStreamer multimedia framework. Totem provides the intuitive user interface that GNOME users expect, with automatic hardware detection instead of complex configuration.
不需要 GNOME 也是可以自己裝 Totem。
Audio Extraction
我應該用不到....
Web Browser
我不用 Epiphany....
Evolution
我也用不到我都用 webmail....
GnomeMeeting
沒有跟 Gaim 結合沒屁用.....
Control Center
略...
Panel Items
.....
The most visible change is the removal of the Actions panel menu and the addition of Places and Desktop menus. These provide fast access to the items you use most often, without navigating through sub-menus. For instance, the Places menu lists your home folder, your computer, networked servers, and the search feature. In the Desktop menu, you'll find your Preferences and Administration control panels, Log Out, and Help.
變的跟 Ubuntu 一樣....
Integrated Modem Control
還有人用 Dial up?
Panel Trashcan
也是 Ubuntu 來的不過是 Mac OS X 先這樣的.....
Specially for laptops
略....
Removed Applets
The CD Player panel applet has been removed, so you will not see a CD player on your panel when you don't even have a CD in your drive. Instead, inserting a CD will now start the GNOME CD Player, which can then be controlled from a notification icon that it places in your Panel.
Ok...
The dedicated Wireless applet has been removed because the Network Monitor applet, introduced in GNOME 2.8, also includes wireless support.
Hmm...
The Mailbox Monitor has been removed because it was unmaintained and insecure. We hope to have a solution integrated with our Evolution mail client in the future. If you don't use Evolution for your mail, you can use a third party application such as mailnotify.
我用不到不過有人會不爽吧.....?
Utilities
Text Editor
The GNOME text editor can now highlight the current line and when editing program source code, it highlights matching braces. Spell checking is improved too.
Nice.
Archive Manager
The GNOME archive manager can now open more types of archive, including AR, Debian, and 7-zip archives, and password-protected RAR archives. And if you use the single-click preference in the file manager, then the archive manager will now use single clicks too.
變動不大....
Dictionary
The GNOME Dictionary now suggests words when you aren't sure how to spell something. The definitions also contain links to external dictionary web sites, and the definitions can be printed.
沒在用....
Floppy Formatter
The GNOME Floppy Formatter utility now supports removable drives, such as USB drives, using the standard HAL system from freedesktop.org.
誰還在用 floppy 啊!!!?
不過 USB drives 也可也就是了。
System Administration
略...
Log Viewer
The GNOME log viewer has added a handy find feature, and an improved monitor mode. In addition, it can now
沒用過...
Games

GNOME 2.10 使用者無法改變 Menu (Menu editing) ，因為現在 GNOME application menu 還到 freedesktop.org 的格式。就跟 GNOME 2.6 一樣無法 MIME editing。Menu editing 還沒完成，所以只好等下個 release 吧，也就是還要等六個月。如果要 Gentoo stable 版 + 兩個月。 orz
還是下個 release 比較值得期待。 orz
http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap
* Reduced memory footprint [BenMaurer, others; see MemoryReduction for more information.] * New default theme for improved aesthetics and usability [SethNickell, Diana Fong; see NewDefaultTheme for more information.] * Improved support for display and manipulation of PDF and Postscript [Evince team] * Improved menu editing [MarkMcLoughlin, Christian Neumair, VincentUntz] * Share functionality between panel and nautilus for better user model [MarkMcLoughlin] * Evolution 2.4 will focus on [Evolution Team] o Performance: less memory use, snappier responsiveness o Usability: better HIG compliance, reorganization of menus and toolbars o Bugfixing and automated test suites o Adding EPlugin hooks so people can extend Evo more easily * Simpler .desktop file editing [VincentUntz]

我講錯了 orz

2005-03-10T14:23:00.000-08:00

我用的是 totem 0.100-r2。
不過也可以把它當作 "偽" 1.0 啦~ (逃~~)

Totem 1.0

2005-03-09T14:43:00.000-08:00

Totem 已經 1.0 stable 了。不過 Gstreamer 還是不太好用，檔案很多都不能看。還是用 Xine 當作後端 player 還是比較好。1.0 用 xine 比較炫的功能就是可以在 nautilus 看到支援的影片格式的縮圖，滿不錯的!
