Subject: Asian Open Source Centre : Community web pages launched (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
(Please crosspost to any mailing lists you feel are appropriate)
The Asian Open Source Centre (http://www.asiaosc.org)
is pleased to announce that we now offer free web
space to non-profit community open source projects in Asia.
The aim of the new service is to make it easier for members
of the community to create web sites to host their own open
source projects or other open source related information.
Some possible uses:
*host a personal 'open source' homepage
*host localization projects, downloads etc
*build a site showing recommended links, favourite sites etc
*host open source scripts, howtos etc you have created
For more information or to browse the existing community
pages already created, see
http://community.asiaosc.org.
Please note we also offer free mailing lists to anybody
in Asia who wants a mailing list to discuss open source
related topics. For this service, see
http://lists.asiaosc.org.
AsiaOSC is funded by MIMOS Bhd, Malaysia.

===========================================
THIS ISSUE has probably reached your city. Saw it in Bangalore, and also got
a complimentary copy from the LFY team at LinuxBangalore2003. But when I
reached back to Goa on Dec 4, it wasn't in as yet. So it might take time to
reach 'small town' India... FN
REVIEWED: Mandrake 9.2 * PhProjekt * StarOffice 7.0
COMPUTERS AT TIS HAZARI, the session courts for the city of New Delhi, are
being shifted over to Linux, courtesy the National Informatics Centre. -
Rahul Chopra in this month's editorial.
LINUX LEARNING CENTRE at Bangalore is offering courses
in administration, security, development (internals and
programming essentials, programming with Qt, device
driver programming, MySQL & PHP), RHCE and Red Hat
rapid track certification. www.linuxlearningcentre.com
DotGNU RELEASES CD: It can now be used to implement application programs and
Web services in C# and C applications under multiple operating systems,
including GNU/Linux, FreeBSC, MacOS, MS Windows. The 219 MB release 0.1 CD
is available as a free download at
http://download.freedom.biz/dotgnu/dotgnu-0.1-cdrom.iso.gz.torrent
e-Bridge calls itself "the new state-of-art training
facility from eSpark Infotech is now open in the
heart of Bangalore". It's offering embedded Linux courses
(Linux fundamentals, programming Linux, embedded C & Linux,
realtime C & Linux, Linux internals, device drivers,
networking) and DSP courses (DSP fundamentals, TI/analog
dev programming, audio/video, image processing,
bio-medical systems). www.ebridgesolutions.net
Linux.net provides a free e-mail service to those who want an e-mail address
that ends in '@linux.net'
MAJOR UPDATES and releases: OpenNA Linux 1.0, Gibraltar
Firewall 1.0, Xandros Desktop 2.0, Onebase Linux 2.0,

MONEY CAN't buy respect, says Robert Adkins. Some of us might have met this
guy at LB2003 in Bangalore. He's the CTO of Technetra Corp, and an advocate
and implementer of FLOSS solutions for government. He can be contacted at
radkins at technetra.com
CAREERS WITH FLOSS: The number of students opting for
courses in Open Source is growing steadily, even as industry
experts predict a growing need for trained professionals
in this expanding field.
EXIT RED HAT, ENTER FEDORA: It's official now; the free (of cost) version of
Red Hat Linux will not be available anymore. This has created a lot of FUD
in an already unstable environment, thanks to the SCO episode. But is Red
Hat closed for good?
WEB-BASED COLLABORATION SOFTWARE: PHProjekt is an easy-to-install
collaboration suite, which runs on the open source platform and
databases. As the design of the system is developer-friendly,
adding new features and components is a piece of cake.
STAROFFICE: The latest version of Sun's office suite, StarOffice 7, may just
be the right solution for the cost-conscious user. It loads faster than the
earlier version, and sports some noticeable improvements.
IN THE LFY CD THIS MONTH: Slackware (the "oldest Linux distro")
and a range of GNU software for Windows users.

HALDIA DOCKS: it has a uniquely designed Linux installation
with an active-active cluster set up, which is considered
the best of its kind. This has ensured efficiency and
cost-effectiveness.
BASIC UNIX commands and concepts: an extract from *Running Linux* (Shroff
Publishers, Pp 674 only Rs 425 in India).
VxWorks and LynxOS are definitely the biggest embedded
operating systems in use today. But slowly they are
acknowledging the power of GNU/Linux and how it can
help them maximise deployments.
HELP LINUX GO INDIAN: By using various translation tools, you can join
Language translation groups working across India to help translate GNU/Linux
into your language.
EXPERT INTRODUCTION: Multi-threaded programming under Linux.
KICKSTART YOUR Linux installation (Part I): Installing Red Hat Linux on
multiple machines one after another can be quite tedious. To avoid answering
the same question over and over again, try the KickStart method, as it does
not need any user intervention.

Subject: SECURITY: NSA Security-enhanced Linux updated
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 14:31:57 CST
The SELinux web site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> including the mail
list archive has been updated. The site includes a new release of the
LSM-based SELinux prototype. The base kernel versions have been updated
to 2.4.23 and 2.6.0-test11. In 2.6.0-test11 controls have been added for
inheritance of signal-related state and resource limits and the network
interface and node controls have been reimplemented. SysVinit has been
patched to eliminate the need for a modified initrd. Login now uses a
pam_selinux module. Many other updates have been made to the tools,
utilities and userland patches.
Security-enhanced Linux incorporates a strong, flexible mandatory
access control architecture into the major subsystems of the Linux
kernel. The system provides a mechanism to enforce the separation of
information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements. This
allows threats of tampering and bypassing of application security
mechanisms to be addressed and enables the confinement of damage that
can be caused by malicious or flawed applications. The SELinux web
site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> contains background information,
documentation, source code, and archives for the selinux mailing-list.
