Update: SearchStar v0.81 now also compatible with Directory Opus
The program SearchStar, which searches files on the hard disk which name or content match a certain search pattern and optionally also replaces this by another string, has now been updated to version 0.81 (26 KB).
The previous version didn't work with Directory Opus 5.82 Magellan II, since this program adds a slash mark to the end of each path. This is filtered now by SearchStar v0.81. Also memory is freed faster now. (snx)

IBM: Information about Genesi's Open Desktop Workstation (Update)
IBM did now also add Genesi's Pegasos-based Open Desktop Workstation to the Global Solutions Directory.
"The Open Desktop Workstation is available as a turnkey, built to order solution with a number of configuration packages available, including multiple distributions of open-source Linux, and OpenBSD. Other options are available on request.
The combined reference designs and open standards give the Open Desktop Workstation the flexibility to unleash PowerPC onto the desktops of the workplace and the server racks of the small business. The desktop version allows the workplace to have a level of conformity between servers and office equipment reducing the total technology overhead. Providing a natural path of progression from user to system administration the desktop version can minimize outside training requirements. Rack mount versions provide the small business and educators with servers that not only perform, but perform silently, consuming less power, and with the reliability expected from PowerPC.
Running several distributions of Linux out of the box along with OpenBSD, the Open Desktop Workstation will be capable of running future Linux distributions by virtue of the open standards adopted by its design. Being customizable to particular needs, the Open Desktop Workstation may be used with its own closed source Operating System for enterprises that require it.
The Open Desktop Workstation, whether using closed or open source systems, is available in both "do it yourself" and as a complete turnkey system built to the specifications of many enterprises both large and small."
Update: (28.01.04, 23:23, snx)
The Open Desktop Workstation is now also mentioned in the Design Alliance Member Directory from Motorola. (snx)
