<P> 
Bill Machrone, vice president of technology for Ziff-Davis
Publishing Co, recently wrote in an article about Linux that
Netscape 3.0 and Java were not yet available for Linux. He was
wrong. Such things happen. Big deal. Even magazines of the
highest quality sometimes print things that are wrong. You
tell them about it, and they print a correction in the next
issue. That's the way professionals handle things.
<P> 
That's not what some Linux people did, however. Instead, they
flamed him, in private and in public. That's stupid. They urged
others to also send flames to Machrone, which is worse.
<P> 
Things wouldn't be so bad, but now we have the Internet. The
Internet allows just a few idiots completely ruin the reputation
of Linux.
<P> 
Please, if you want to advocate Linux, be civil.

issue of <I>PC Week</I>, <A HREF="http://www.pcweek.com//opinion/1111/11mach.html">
&quot;Up Periscope&quot;</A>. This is a good article in which he requests
feedback from Linux users.

&quot;The Linux Software Map&quot: Unix Review, January, 1997, discusses the need
for Linux documentation and the Linux Software Map (LSM).
<P> 
From Martin Michlmayr of Linux International we learn: <BR> 
According to a survey among a partial readership of iX, a German magazine
devoted to Unix and networking, Linux is used at work by 45% of the
readers.  Solaris 1 and 2 taken together come second with 36%, followed
by HP-UX with 27%.
56% of companies with less than 50 employees use Linux whereas it is used
by 38% of firms with more than 1,000 employees.
In addition, 60% of the readers use Linux on their computers at home.

Amiga Development Environment
</H3>
<P> 
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 <BR> 
Tempe, Arizona - Cronus has announced the release of the long
awaited Geek Gadgets CD-ROM.  Geek Gadgets contains the Amiga Developers
Environment (ADE) which is a project conceived and managed by Cronus to
produce and support Amiga ports of dozens of the most popular development
tools and utilities from the Free Software Foundation, BSD and other sources.
This CD contains all the tools necessary to get started programming on
the Amiga including advanced C, C++, Fortran and ADA compilers, assembler,
linker, EMACS editor, "make", source code control systems (rcs&cvs), text
and file utilities, GNU debugger, text formatters (groff & TEX) and more.
Geek Gadgets is the perfect companion to the AT Developers CD which contains
documentation and utilities but no development tools.  Released quarterly,
Geek Gadgets provides a quick and cost effective way to obtain the latest
ADE for those with slow and/or expensive Internet connections.  As a bonus,
all the tools can be run directly from the CD-ROM without the need to install
any files on your hard drive.
<P> 
Available from your local Amiga dealer or directly from Cronus.  SRP $ 24.95

    Util-linux is a suite of essential utilities for any Linux system.
It's primary audience is system integrators (like the people at
Red Hat) and DIY Linux hackers.  The rest of you will get a digested
version of util-linux installed with no risk to your sanity.
<P> 
    Util-linux is attempting to be portable, but the only platform it
has been tested much on is Linux/Intel.  There have however been
integrated several patches for Arm, m68k, and Alpha linux versions.
The present version is known to compile on at least Linux 1.2/libc
4.7.5 and Linux 2.0.22/Libc 5.3.12 (the Linux versions I run :-).
People are encouraged to make _nice_ patches to util-linux and
submit them to util-linux@math.uio.no.

LyX is a WYSIWYG front-end to LaTeX.  It is used much like a

mathematical formulas, fonts, headers, etc., are all drawn on-screen
essentially as they appear on the final document.  Figures (postscript)
are placed in the document using a simple menu, as are tables.  General
text formatting is accomplished by high-level menu choices that
automatically set fonts, indentation, spacing, etc., according to
general LaTeX rules, and display (essentially) these settings on the
screen.
<P> 
None of the power of LaTeX is lost, since you can embed any LaTeX
command within a LyX document.

Wget, a Web Mirroring Tool
</H3>
<P> 
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 <BR> 
Wget 1.4.0 [formerly known as Geturl] is an extensive rewrite of
Geturl. Wget should now be easier to debug, maintain and
most importantly, use.
<P> 
Wget is a freely available network utility to download files from the
World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP.  It works non-interactively, thus
enabling work in the background, after having logged off.
<P> 
Wget works under almost all modern Unix variants and, unlike many
other similar utilities, is written entirely in C, thus requiring no
additional software (like Perl). As Wget uses the GNU Autoconf, it is
easily built on and ported to other Unix's. Installation procedure is
described in the INSTALL file.
<P> 
You can get the latest version of wget at: <BR>
