CAN [GNU]LINUX do for music what it did for server
applications? Ask Dave Phillips. His
linux-sound.org website is a resource for everything
from hard-disk recorders to music notation editors.
This issue offers a preview of the 2.6 kernel and
the audio excellence of Linux....
////////[SOFTWARE]/////////////////////////////////////////
o Football manager http://www.autismuk.freeserve.co.uk
Graphics are crude; but the game is a lot of fun.
o Magic notebook: http://www.joanthanscorner.com/etc/magic_notebook
Keep notes using a web interface.
o Server status: http://www.the-den.org/status
Keep an eye on servers. Needs X, but clean, fast, simple.
o Pebrot: http://pebrot.sourceforge.net
Python version of MSN Messengers, runs without X.
o GNU Pilot Logbook Pro
ftp.stampede.org/skibum/gplbp/bplbp.tar.gz
Professional logbook for pilots will all entries you need.
o Hardware Lister http://ezix.sourceforge.net/software/lshw.html
IRQ, module used and more for cards and hardware.
////////[NEWS]/////////////////////////////////////////
o Ericsson releases source code for its Telecom
Inter-Process Communication under the GNU GPL.
o Japan to spend $8.3 million on open-source development
for Linux development for consumer electronic goods.
Also $416,000 to switch Japanese government
computers over to free software.
////////[TECH]/////////////////////////////////////////
o Introducing Plone, a simple content management solution
that allows all readers to read publicly available
content, and those given permissions to publish their
content to the general public.
o Writing stackable filestystems: Now you can add a
feature to your favourite filesystem without
rewriting it.
o Battles inside the computer
o Using Firewall Builder, Part I: use one easy GUI
to build and deploy policies for all your firewalls
and servers.
o TECH TIP: A simple script to search a collection of
RPM packages for a specific file...
o Advanced memory allocation
o INTRODUCING THE 2.6 KERNEL: scheduler and audio
improvements are only two of the features you'll
notice when the 2.5 development series becomes 2.6.
Other important features include O(1) scheduler /
preemptive kernel / latency improvements /
redesigned block layer / improved VM subsystem /
improved threading support / new sound layer.
o Starting with the 2.5 series, it's simpler and
faster to customize your kernel or add a driver.
o Kernel mode Linux: Now you don't have to write a
module to run a program in kernel space. Run any
program there with this patch.
o Reiser4, Part II: Designing trees that cache well.
o SOUND SOFTWARE to turn your GNU/Linux box into
a synthesizer studio:
GPL amSynth Great analog synth emulation
Proprietary Elara
Proprietary UltramasterJuno6
GPL Bristol
GPL LegaSynth Emulates DX7 and some chips
GPL ALSA Modular
GPL SpiralSynth Modular
GPL MSS
GPL AUBE
Proprietary RTSynth
Proprietary JSyn Varied synthesis methods, excel sound
GPL ZynAddSubFX
GPL Cumulus Unique real-time granular synthesis
GPL gAlan Interesting 'module processing' env
GPL jMax LADSPA support planned
BSD-ish Pd Rich syntehsis, OpenGL, VST/LADSPA,JACK
GPL Freebirth Bass synth, sample sequencer
Proprietary UltramasterRS101 Like Freebirth but more
GPL iisusynth
GPL RX/Saturno
o Learning regular expressions. For precision of text
manipulation and description, it's hard to beat
the power of regexps.
o DOING GOOD AND PREVENTING BAD: If you didn't know about
Linux Journal publisher Phil Hughes and his
background in a nuke plant and as a anti-nuclear
protester, Costa Rica's renewable source-produced
energy, and the link between such issues... check
this out!
