proftpd off the map?
by Tim Keller March 14, 2008

March 14, 2008

Hey Gang, Has anyone else noticed that proftpd seems to be off the map now? I've tried going to their web page to check for latest version / bug fix and I can't seem to get there... I guess I'll be upgrading to vsftpd... Thanks, Tim. -- I am leary of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hello from Mark McLaughlin
by Markus March 6, 2008

March 6, 2008

Hello, my name is Mark McLaughlin, I started a computer club in Hudson which extends to Marlboro. I hooked up with you because I am very interested in KDE 4 and want to learn more about how to make linux work for me since I am a writer/enthusiast not a programmer. I am getting better at GIMP and re-learning my MS Office skills with OpenOffice, but, I like to learn inkscape, scribus, do more with KompoZer, and do some multimedia as well I could use advice on how to make my computer club function well and if my club and yours could mingle a bit here and there on occasion when Fedora 9 and KDE 4.1 finally is available. I love Fedora, I feel it could catch up to Ubuntu and maybe surpass it with some new features. IMHO, Windoze XP will be the last good Windoze OS for sure, Windoze 7 has to be able to function like linux in order to survive... Mark McLaughlin hudsoncomputercrew.wordpress.com Hudson, MA

This information available today is what will foster the growth of open-source R500/600 3D support for the Radeon and RadeonHD drivers as well as R600 2D acceleration."

Scheduler Program mentioned in meeting
by Eric Stein Feb. 22, 2008

Feb. 22, 2008

Hi all, Yeah, I'm still *in* the meeting. Glory be to laptops. I'm building a PyGTK scheduling application. It can be downloaded at: http://cons.truct.org/projects/psyched.html Release 0.1.0 is usable, but I suggest using the SVN trunk - it's better. I'm probably going to be releasing 0.1.1 in a few weeks.
