Martin's hidden blog ;-)
Hopefully Martin won't get upset because of this post, but reading Changelogs is sometimes funnier, bolder and more informative than reading a blog!
From the ChangeLog.txt for ultimalinux-8.4, ultimalinux-8.4.1, ultimalinux-current:
About openoffice-2.4.2:
Thank you, Sun Microsystems: Without your buggy and insecure code, I probably wouldn't be in a job. Not that I do this full-time anyway. Getting back on topic: 2.4.2 was apparently released a few days ago, but I only just saw it in the latest Secunia weekly update. I'm hoping no one will particularly mind the lateness. Yes, there is a 3.0.0 available, but I'm treating it the same way I've treated Firefox 3, KDE 4, and basically everything except GCC 4.3, which in retrospect was probably a bad idea: The 2.4 series works just fine, and I see no reason to break it with a hasty upgrade.
About httpd-2.2.10:
Three days late, not that anyone uses Ultima as a server anyway. I didn't see any httpd-related issues in the latest Secunia update, but DistroWatch mentioned this, and it's generally good to stay on top of these things.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
