RelFS - Relational Filesystem
=============================
* sf.net project description:
RelFS is a linux userspace "shadow" (file data remains on disk)
relational filesystem using fuse and an SQL database to store
metadata. Directories can represent queries, and powerful features
(e.g. bayesian classification) are added through plugins.
We already have a working prototype available, and are in active
development state.
The website for development and releases is
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/relfs
while the homepage, where you can find the FAQs is at
http://relfs.sourceforge.net
At the moment we don't have user releases, since we are in an early
stage of development. We are looking for developers and ideas on how to
use the beast. You can subscribe to the mailing list that you will find
on the sf.net project page. Be sure to read the FAQ at
http://relfs.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
that include motivation, goals and differences with existing
projects. And, quoting from the FAQ:
# This is a very ambitious project, you won't even get to beta!
I would like to use an incremental approach, in wich we first stabilize
over a small goal, then improve the performance of the program, then we
start working on another goal. The first goal, for example, is to obtain
a working indexing filesystem with an easy to use plugin
architecture. We are already close to that. See TODO.txt, section
"RELEASE PLAN/MILESTONES".
Bye
Vincenzo Ciancia

Lineox Enterprise Linux Grows with Application Server, Adds a New
Twist to Distribution
10. Aug. 2004
Lineox Application Server for Lineox Enterprise Linux is distributed
on a novel new way. Instead of making the Always Current Lineox
Enterprise Linux larger, the Lineox Application Server can be
installed after installation as an update. The advantage of this is
that users have to learn only one tool, the one used for updates.
Because Lineox Application Server and simultaneously released
Developer Suite update contain 244 packages, they are grouped to 11
virtual packages, which will then pull the packages they require. We
don't know any previous use of virtual, empty rpm packages to ease the
selection of installable packages, but the technique has been well
documented and in common knowledge. Because the new and updated
packages will transferred over the Internet only if the user wants
them to be installed, both users and Lineox save bandwidth.
Lineox Application Server is tested on all major commercial JVMs,
including Sun SDK, BEA WebLogic JRockit and IBM JDK and will also be
tested with leading DBMS platforms, including the Oracle Database, IBM
DB2 and Sybase. Protecting existing Java investments while deploying
open source is a key benefit to customers.
Lineox Application Server includes most commonly used
features/functionality found in commercial J2EE application servers,
including:
Enterprise Application Server (JOnAS), EJBs Web Application Server
(Tomcat), JSPs and Servlets Web Services, through AXIS from Apache
JakartaServer Management, using JMX (JonAS/Tomcat) Scalability
features, pooling, caching and storage optimization Messaging and
transaction support, clustering for failover and load balancing Support.
Lineox Application Server will be supported like the Cluster and the
Developer Suite with updates, which are all included in the update
support service for Lineox Enterprise Linux 3.0 starting at 15 Euros
per year for single systems.

Hi,
We are going to have our next meeting of the Metro-Business LUG on
Thursday August 12th, 7:00pm at the Montclair Public Library (in the
Cafe section).
I'm going to bring some Knoppix CDs and discuss how MySQL and Open
Office can do mail merges (not extremely fun but useful).
For more info visit http://rch.tzo.com or email me: rhoobler (at)
comcast (dot) net.
Thanks,
Roy
