SourceForge.net: GNU-Darwin Distribution: News

Project News for GNU-Darwin Distribution

  • GNU-Darwin: Action Amazon.com

    Many of you will be surprised to read proclus' profile at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AF7DZ97VNSEWN/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp

    After a very long boycott over some patent issues, I perceived that
    Amazon was not acting like a patent vulture, and I decide that I may be
    able to exert more influence as a customer. For example, I have
    consistently rated down Apple products and the Amazon Kindle, and I
    will continue to do so until they fix the problems that our community
    wants fixed.

    Amazon has a very formidable presence on the web, and their front and
    back end are chock full of useful tools, so that I want to recommend
    this strategy of activism to our subscribers.

    As a plus, you can learn a little more about the GNU-Darwin founder,
    and even look at my shopping list ;-}.

    I am very well aware of the controversy that Amazon represents in our
    community, and so I am eager to hear any comments or suggestions about
    this action. Otherwise, please do feel free to throw in with similar
    activities. It is for the best in my opinion.

  • GNU-DarwinAction:Copyright Treaty Outrage

    FOIA Request For Pending Copyright Treaty Denied: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/13/1446206

    An obvious outrage. It appears that the Obama administration is
    beginning to unmask their orientation against cyber-liberties. Let's
    see what we can do now to turn around this abhorrent juggernaut. It
    need not come to congress at all, but if it does, then we can be ready
    for that too.

    BTW, as a reminder intermittent outages may be expected due to our
    ongoing facility upgrade.

  • GNU-Darwin Action: iDon't

    Current revisions of Darwin and the iPhone remain unsatisfactory to the
    free software community. Join the iDon't campaign. Don't buy any Apple
    products until these problems are fixed.

  • GNU-Darwin Package set of Molecules Machine

    I am starting to get questions about how the Molecules site was constructed.

    http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/

    I think that it is a good example of what is possible using GNU-Darwin
    OS and FOSS, free and open source software. I also thought that
    GNU-Darwinists and others would be interested in the package set. It
    should be noted that these are alpha, first run packages, but we are
    putting them to good use.

    Here is the uname -a output for the current darwintel machine, which is
    doing all the heavy lifting.

    Darwin darwintel 8.0.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.0.1: Fri Apr 29 12:18:40 PDT 2005; root:xnu-792.obj/RELEASE_I386 x86 i386 AMD Phenom(tm) X4 Quad-Core Processor GP-9500 Darwin

    This system has been stripped of all proprietary software, except two
    hardware driver binaries unfortunately, which is why we don't distribute
    the OS installer. One of the reasons why we operate this way is so that
    we can build and distribute free software that runs under current
    Darwin-based operating systems, like GNU-Darwin and Mac OS. Here is a
    link to the package directory.

    http://www.gnu-darwin.org/www001/packages-1.5a-CURRENT/

    GNU-Darwinists with familiarity regarding our architecture may find
    these packages useful. If that is not the case, please consult our
    online help files and examples before trying this package set. Here is
    a link to the ports tree.

    http://www.gnu-darwin.org/www001/ports-1.5a-CURRENT

    If there are any further questions about how we are operating the
    Molecules site, please feel free to ask, or get a GNU-Darwin account,
    and look for yourself. Accounts are free for 30 days.
