Genesi: Development programs for High Density Blade Server and OSW
On PPCZone.org Genesi has started development programmes for the announced products High Density Blade Server (HDB) and Open Server Workstation (OSW).
OSW is supposed to carry two 970MP PowerPC-processors by IBM (altogether four processor cores) and will be available in June 2006.
Whereas the HDB is to be equipped with two PowerPC-G4-processors by Freescale and a Tsi109-Northbridge by Tundra.
Both development programmes have been opened, own project ideas can be registered.
Handling of new applications for the already active Efika-programme is supposed to be continued in the first week of March.

MorphOS: FuhQuake 0.31
Mark Olsen adapted FuhQuake for MorphOS. This is a Win32/Linux-Quakeworld-Client, which among other things also brings about some visual effects (screenshots).
Required are in addition to a lot of memory both the latest version of TinyGL (the 3D update) and the original Quake files. If you want to compile FuhQuake on your own, you'll need TinyGL-SDK and the latest update of Libnix. (snx) (Translation: iw)

Afa: AROS for AmigaOS 3.92.1
A new update is availlable for AfA(AROS for AmigaOS). Beside improving the Fasticons-Function and the picture.datatype the new AROS-Version of Mulitview is now included.
Details of the Changes:
- Because of Fasticons programs like Amistart or the oscilloscope of the Eagle-Player, which need an exclusive pin, now work due to sufficient free pins.
- Programs like Thumb, that were not supporting the picture.datatype, should work now - if any more problems should occur feedback is resquested.
- In directory c: multiview_afa is now included; this might be lacking of i.e. a fullscreen mode or saving the standard prefenrences, but using the AROS-picture.datatype the images can be enlarged and adjusted to windowsize.

Changes in this Version, which requires the prerelease-update 4:
- Native support for AmiSSL v3, AmiSSl v1 is no longer required
- Mousewheel-support
Since the leader of the project is paying the authors for their work, users of the RDP-client are asked to support further development with a small donation.

Pegasos: Linux live CD Niktarix 0.4
With Niktarix Nick Niktaris created another Linux live CD for Pegasos (ODW) (Screenshots).
Components from Knoppix, Kanotix and Debian Sarge were used here; contained are in addition to Kernel 2.6.11 among other things KDE 3.3.2, UnionFS, Mozilla/Firefox, Open Office and GIMP.
UnionFS, which takes some time while booting, makes it possible to work like you have booted from the hard disk instead of from a CD - in this way it is possible for instance to install or remove .deb files.
Open firmware call:
boot cd niktarix root=/dev/ram rw init=linuxrc

Changes in version 0.2:
- Removed debug accidentally left in 0.1
- If adding a large directory takes longer than 2 seconds, a progress window now appears so you can see the program is working. It also contains an abort button.
- Added the ability to archive files from higher in the directory tree

Experienced MorphOS users who would like to give the latest Ambient CVS compiles a try, can now find daily builds at the easier to remember URLs ambient.pegasos.org or ambient-desktop.org, ambient-desktop.net and ambient-desktop.com.
Required are MorphOS 1.4.5 and MUI 4 alpha. Please also note the following warnings:
- Warning: No documentation. Daily builds do not include documentation
- No support: Due to the nature of daily builds, no support can be provided
- No Installer: You must be capable of moving files to their proper locations yourself before attempting to use a daily build
- Changelog: Go over the changes carefully before downloading and installing a new build
- Dynamic Functionality: Function availability is dependent upon build development, and any given function or group of functions may be disabled in a daily build
- Use backups: It is highly suggested that regular backups are performed when using Daily builds
If you feel that anything from the list above is overly complicated, too difficult, or more than you can handle, please consider limiting yourself to the latest officially released version of Ambient. (snx)

MorphOS: Interest in DVB-S playback software? (Update)
At the title link, MorphZone published information by Ralph Schmidt about a MorphOS program for DVB-S playback (support for DVB-T and DVB-C could be added by some further work as well). It's been used for prototyping the technology and thus not fully polished yet to be useful for sale.
Therefore there is the question if there is a big enough interest for such a program to justify polishing it to sell it. A few unsharp cam pictures of it with a down-scaled window are available at MorphOS-News.de. A poll for the interest in this software will be added at MorphZone as soon as some technical difficulties will be solved.
Update: (11:18, 11.02.06, snx)
Meanwhile the poll is online at MorphZone and can be found on the left side of the main page. (cg) (Translation: snx)
