Heise: Linux Worm Obviously Spreading Rapidly
«An Internet worm named Ramen is attacking servers running under
the Linux distribution by Red Hat and apparently is spreading quite quickly.
It's activities stood out by augmented scans on Remote Procedure Call Services (RPC).
The worm utilizes two security gaps known long before inside of
FTP-Server wuftpd
and the program rpc.statd, which obviously still not have been remove from
many Linux machines. Already in September 2000 the Computer Emergency Response Team
(CERT) gave warning of
augmented attacks
of this kind.»

Heise: DivX Successor "OpenDivX" goes Open Source
«The MPEG4 video codec successor "DivX", which derived some stardom from being in
operation for spreading piracy copied movies via the Internet, may hope to be widely supported.
To gain more programmers to participate in the so called "Project Mayo"
the developers around Joe Bezdek, "Director of Product Definition" of Project Mayo decided
to release the current en-/decoder core of the video format as
Open Source.
OpenDivX is only one step on the way to realize greater goals: a versatile video codec -
named "DivX Deux" by the programmers - offering high quality and being free available at the same time

AROS News
- Since child windows seem to be patented, Stefan Berger has removed
the support for them again. :-( If someone knows whether this
technology can be used freely, we'd like to know :-)
- Georg Steger has written an ASL Font Requester
- Johan Alfredsson has implemented and improved C:Run, C:NewShell,
C:List, C:Dir, DisplayBeep() and some more.
- Adam Chodorowski has improved our Workbench and began to port
a TCP/IP stack to AROS (ping compiles but there is no code
for the stack, yet).
- Michael Schulz has begun to work on a new AROS i386/Native core
which can load the large AROS kernel. AROS needs GRUB to boot,
now.
- Flavio Stanchina has improved lots of header and build files.

Vulcan Software Alive
After a long period of abstinence there are some news from Vulcan Software. We remember: An English producer
and developer of moderate Amiga games.
The "Valhalla" series, which was not very successful for the Amiga already, will be continued for the PC.
For the Amiga this game could at least convince by its few spoken sentences, but the first screenshots
of PC-Valhalla makes suspecting a product PC users might gladly leave un-converted.

Heise: Linux 2.4 with File-System ReiserFS
«The Linux-kernel v2.4.0 has just been finished at last, and development already goes on. The biggest
change which will be integrated in the next kernel-version 2.4.1 would be including of the Journaling File System
ReiserFS. Already at the beginning of October Linus Torvalds explained in an interview with c`t that he
will not include ReiserFS in kernel 2.4.0, but as soon as possible in the 2.4. line. Obviously the time is right:
kernel 2.4.1-pre7 contains ReiserFS.»
Have a look at the title link for the full article (German).
According to Sourceforge
Apus test-kernels are also available for Amiga Linux.

'The Commodore Billboard' Needs Help
Amiga Future wrote:
'The Commodore Billboard' has a really big problem. The site has 17 new TV-advertising spots
and several other stuff, but has not any possibility to offer that amount to the users on their own server.
Because of that Soren is urgently searching for users to put some files on their servers. If you have
this possibility, please contact Soren via eMail.
Following the complete message:
«The 17 tv-ads require some 70 MB. This will generate more traffic than I'm
allowed to use on my server. I'm currently in contact with a guy who might
be able to host all the files for free. This is obviously the ultimate solution,
but if this fails, I would like to know if some of you die-hard Commodore fans
out there would be willing to help me?
Instead of one server hosting all the video clips, I was wondering if we
could spread the files over several servers. If 17 people would volunteer
and host 1 file each? You would have to provide between 2.2 and 5.5 MB
storage space each. Would anyone be interested? I order to make this work,
I guess it'll have to be all or nothing. If only 5 people volunteer, I think
I'll scratch this hosting idea. As you may have traffic limits on your
accounts I can inform you that The Commodore Billboard has between 30-40
visitors aday. This will of course be higher for a short while, when the
news about the 17 tv-ads reaches the Commodore news sites. But then again,
not all 40 will download 5 MB video clips. And with the audio previews
available, maybe people will be more selective and not just download the
whole lot. This might help decrease traffic. By the way, you have to provide
webspace on fairly decent servers. I wouldn't want people to download the
video clips with a speed of 0.2 KB/sec. ;-))»
Any help in solving the hosting problem is much appreciated.

attention to the possibility to make use of "Translator.go".
So, now via Translator.go the website can be translated by request to German, French, Spanish,
Italian, and Portugese. Andersen is aware of this not to be the best choice, but
better than nothing at all. Base language of the website is still English.

AmigaOS Change-Logs Release Campaign
Matt Sealey started a petition to find out how big the common interest
in the publishing of change-logs since AmigaOS 3.1 really is.
The change-logs contain changes and add-ons compared to the previous
versions of the AmigaOS. This could be helpful for the development of new software.
The logs for AmigaOS V2.0 up to V3.1 are available on every Developer CD.
According to Matt Sealey Haage & Partner declined publishing their changes on the Developer CD V2.1.
There is the possibility on http://www.starforge.co.uk/petition.html
to sign a petition.
