From: giorgio.tani@email.it
Subject: Pea-Peach update
The Pea-Peach project has been updated, release 0.12 is now available
for download (sources, cdocumentation, binaries for Linux and Windows)
at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pea-peach
Update is recommended.
Changelog:
- bugfix of CRC64 related code;
- new feature: the job definition can be saved as plaintext (it can be
useful as starting point for understanding how to compose pea-peach
related scripts);
- some minor interface improvements:
-- more information displayed in Peach stringgrid (object's last
modification time and attributes);
-- HowTo panel added for exemplifying program's functions (how to
archive files, how to use encryption, how to split files, change
program's behaviour and aspect etc);
- Linux binaries released as .tar.gz;
- project rebuild with latest Lazarus release (0.9.18).

From: "PeterH" <phiscock@ee.ryerson.ca>
Subject: AN: Open Instrumentation Project Progress
The Open Instrumentation Project (OIP) has been formed to support
open-source software and low cost hardware for electronic
instrumentation.
Currently available instruments include an oscilloscope, waveform
generator
and network analyser. Source code is available at sourceforge/oip.
Information on the hardware is available at www.syscompdesign.com.
Recent developments in the project:
- The Mac OS-X port appears to be operational, thanks to a contribution
by
Seneca Cunningham. We hope to have the beta test version up on
Sourceforge
shortly. (If you'd like to push that along, send me email and we'll
move it
up in the queue.) This means that the oscilloscope and waveform
generator
are now available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS-X operating systems.
There are three new papers on the Syscomp web page:
- An illustration of oscilloscope single-shot capture operation,
documenting
contact bounce in an electromechanical relay.
- Notes on BNC adaptors and cables, including a pointer to building
cables
using RG-174U (small diameter coax).
- Instructions on Downloading and Executing code from Sourceforge.
(This is
specific to OIP software, but may be useful for other downloads using
the
Tcl/Tk language.)
The vector network analyser which uses the oscilloscope and waveform
generator plus GPLed software, is described in the September issue of
Circuit Cellar magazine.
The oscilloscope software has the following new features:
- Software Zoom (aka Waveform Browser) captures 32k samples and allows
a zoom
into any portion of that data record
- Vertical Calibration allows the vertical sensitivity to be
calibrated, to
yeild improved accuracy over the raw hardware
- X-Y Plot displays in the foreground while displaying X vs time and Y
vs time
in the background. Allows the display of Lissajous figures.
The waveform generator software now supports 0.1Hz resolution. (The
hardware always supported that resolution, now the software takes
advantage
of that.)

Subject: ZeroShell 1.0.beta2
I have developed a small (only 103MB) Linux Distribution called ZeroShell
for network server applications. It is now available in the form of live cd
or of compact flash image for embedded devices with which it is possible to
build network appliances. Yesterday, I released the version 1.0.beta2 in
which the main new feature is the presence of a captive portal to
authenticate the user of a wireless network by using web login. This type of
authentication is often used in the Hotel, Hotspot or other places where it
is necessary to authorize the network accesses.
ZeroShell can provides many others services that are described on the home
page http://www.zeroshell.net/eng such as: Radius server, DNS and DHCP
server, routing and bridging, vlan, VPN lan-to-lan and host-to-lan, virtual
servers, ldap authorization and kerberos authentication, x.509 certification
authority, network time server, dynamic dns, xDSL and cable connection
client, Firewall.

From: "Mark Shelby" <mshelby1@windstream.net>
Subject: Small-Business Class Linux
Hello all, I am interested in forming a distro specifically geared toward
small business users in offices that have around 10 PC's. I think this is a
niche' market that hasn't yet been addressed.
I would like to base the distro off of Debian and KDE using source code and
reducing the size of the distro.
What I envision is the basic Debian framework with the 2.6 kernel and the
KDE desktop with minimal addons. For example "kdegames" would not be
compiled in, nor would "kdedevelopment." The "remainig kde subgroups
"networking" "utilities" etc... would also be paired down to include the
basics for a networked office environment.
Is there any interest out there in the community for this product, and if so
is there anyone interested in helping out with it?
If you are interested in helping out please reply by email to
mshelby1@windstream.net
Thanks!
