don't think there will be a shipping cost... no bank or credit card details were needed... it can't cost them much to ship anyway, so why should they bother charging?

You will receive the following when they are ready to ship. I received this yesterday morning. BTW, no shpping involved. It's FREE :)

I just wanted to let you know that the free Tech resource kit you have

ordered has been shipped

and you should be receiving it soon.

- Ximian Desktop 2.0 Evaluation (ISO Image)

- Red Carpet 2.0.2 Evaluation (ISO Image)

So the rest are not evaluations? I hope my package comes soon! Does Evaluation mean it has a trial day limit, or that it is not suppose to be used for buisness applications w/o a license.

What the heck are these 2 things anyway? Is Ximian Desktop like KDE or Gnome? I guess it is good that novell is doing this, because it is making us all want to educate ourselves on their products.

yeah i woudl also like to know what the situation is with the evaluation software. does it have a time limit or limited features etc?

i wonder how many days it will take to get to australia, lol. its on its way here now :)

This isn't the Windows shareware world :whistle:

By evaluation, they probably mean that support is not included (like it is when you purchase it from them) and probably to discorage commerial use. The whole idea of the giveaway is to allow SysAdmins to try out the software, before purchasing for major deployments.

Well, to get a 100% clear answer to the shipping and toll costs I mailed Kim Wright at Novell.

Heres my reply:

The kit is absolutely free and Novell will pay for shipping. Duties are all paid by Novell too.

Thanks.

So no more worries about that :)

Although you are much less likely to need a virus scanner under Linux, the truth of the matter is, Linux has viruses to.

They may be few and far between, but they happen occassionally. In fact, I believe there have been 4 known viruses for Linux thus far this year. However, Symantec and many other companies believe eventually there will be a large attack on Linux systems. It's really only a matter of time if you think about it.

And no, I don't know which virus scanner to use under Linux, as far as I know Fprot and Bitdefender offer Linux versions. Kaspersky also. Not sure about any others.

lmao antivirus proram. hah. you dont need one.

Anti-virus is certainly needed for a mixed environment when using a Linux server as mailserver or an SMB share on a network.

As pointed out earlier, Linux is not immune to viruses. Though they will generally run only with the user's permissions, damage can still be done, and they can propogate.

One source of Linux AV that hasn't been mentioned is Network Associates.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By ShadeOfBlue · Posted

      There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
