I was one of the first Gentoo-on-iBook-7450 installer: I have an idea of the obstacles that Apple make (voluntarily?) to stop the “waste” of our hardware. The installation of Gentoo on Mactel is only a “time issue”: EFI was, for me, the biggest problem (elilo rulez!). But I don’t know the internal hardware of that new machine. Anyway, Good Work guys.

It’s now available in Universal Binary. List of features is here. I’m not a Camino user: I’m a Firefox-Extension’s addicted web-developer! But a Browser Gecko-Based with the powerful and beauty of MacOSX is a really interesting alternative for non-dev users… Source, Melablog.
Un interessantissima disquisizione di Alessandro Bottoni reperibile su bicocca.net. … Ancora una volta, Linux ed il mondo Open Source, saggiamente, non fanno la guerra al Trusted Computing ma il mondo Trusted Computing sta sviluppando armi potentissime con cui fare la guerra a Linux ed al “mondo libero” (Open Source)… Lo stesso autore scrive su laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com e, in particolare, segnalo 2 categorie di questo blog: * [DRM](http://laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com/tag/drm/) * [Trusted-Computing](http://laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com/tag/trusted-computing/) Ed infine, il link ai miei post precedenti su DRM e TC.
This application was bord with the run Classic Application in any operating system. It seems to be an “Emulation-Layer” (so, not a “Virtuallization-Layer”) and… it’s for available (and supported) on various systems: * [Linux](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) (i386, ppc, x86_64) * [MacOS X](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macosx) (<strong>i386</strong>, ppc) * [Darwin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29) * [NetBSD 2.0](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbsd) * [FreeBSD 5.3](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebsd) * [Windows for x86](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows) As you probably know, Apple, with new MacIntel, has cutted-off the support for Classic: it was a virtuallization, not an emulation and then… a simple recompilation it’s not enough. ...
XGL: tutti ne stanno parlando ultimamente. Ci sono articoli in ogni dove su XGL ma… che é? Prendiamo da Wikipedia: Xgl is an X server architecture, started by David Reveman, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. Some say that it is seen as the future of the X.Org Server, but some disagree because it requires a 3D graphics card. Although most PCs are nowadays shipped with such a card, most vendors (most notably NVIDIA and ATI Technologies) don’t provide open source drivers for their cards, which do not work on all computer architectures supported by the X.Org Server. ...
INCREDIBLE!!! AMAZING!!! SUPER!!! POWERFULL!!! GREAT!!! Videos are on linuxedge. Source, OSSBlog.
Soon you may be able to execute Gnome/Gtk+ based programs NATIVELLY NATIVELY on Quartz without the X11 Emulation. Someone (thanks to exist) is working on the porting. It may be the incipit of a new era for Open Source software on MacOSX. Take a look at this. One of the most interesting characteristics of Gnome-oriented applications is the coherence between the HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) of Gnome and MacOSX. Source: Melablog.it and StyleMac.com.
Dojo is the Open Source JavaScript toolkit that helps you build serious applications in less time. It fills in the gaps where JavaScript and browsers don’t go quite far enough, and gives you powerful, portable, lightweight, and tested tools for constructing dynamic interfaces. This project has Sun behind itself: on Downloadblog there is a post dedicated to a Videocast of Sun Developers about Dojo and Java Studio Creator. The “packages” organization of Dojo is very similar to Java Library: much coherent and clean. ...
Java Openbusiness ha messo online un servizio per poter archiviare il proprio OS Skill e mostrarlo su una mappa che raccoglie le competenze italiane in tale settore. Come c’era da aspettarsi, utilizza Google Maps e le relative api JS. Sembra proprio una cosa interessante ed intelligente da fare: a colpo d’occhio ci si rende conto del fatto che questo fenomeno sembra tutt’altro che “alieno” al contesto Italia. Sorgente, puntoict.it.
Marc Liyanage releases the last version of his packaged version of PHP 5.1.2 and PostgreSQL 8.1.2. I don’t know how is the packaged PostgreSQL but… I use the PHP of Marc from 2 years without any problems (excluding personalization to the php.ini file). Thanks Marc for your nice work! ;-) Ah, these packages are made for MacOSX.
