Pegasos: New Linux "LiveCD" Niktarix
Nick Niktaris has created another Linux "LiveCD" called nektarix for the Pegasos (ODW) (screenshots).

Compounds of Knoppix, Kanotix and Debian Sarge were used; beside the kernel 2.6.11 there is also KDE 3.3.2, UnionFS, Mozilla/Firefox, Open Office and GIMP.

UnionFS, which takes some time during the boot up process, offers a workflow as if the machine was booted from a hard disk - one may install or remove .deb files.

The V0.03 is the first public version, which may contain some serious bugs and not all planned features are integrated yet.

Open Firmware call:
boot cd niktarix root=/dev/ram rw init=linuxrc

MD5 checksum:

HomeBank V3.1 released
After several beta versions, Maxime Doyen now released the final version 3.1 of his program HomeBank under the title link.

MUI: BetterString.mcc / HotkeyString.mcc under LGPL published
After having saved the source codes of the known MUI-Custom class BetterString.mcc and HotkeyString.mcc from the hard drive of the former author Allan Odgaard the complete source code has been published under the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL) as Open Source and has been put together in a seperate project on Sourceforge.net.

Interested developers are encouraged to take contact to the current main authors (Jens Langner and Ilkka Lehtoranta) if you want to develop further BetterString.mcc and HotkeyString.mcc.

Probably there will be a new version of BetterString.mcc/HotkeyString.mcc which will also include native PPC versions for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Search for the Best Websites of Germany
Everyone certainly knows about the problems with search engines. When you type in your search words you get a long list of hits, but most of them don't have a thing to do with what you're looking for. However there's an unusual searcher that's been established, one that targets the websites that you're really after. "Turn the page, don't Google it" is the new trick to find your way in the Internet maze. The "Web Address Book" is a reference work in book form.

CAD: Full version of "Cycas" released to Aminet
Cycas is a program for architectural drawing in two and three dimensions. Additional to the normal CAD function Cycas offers some special elements and techniques for architecture and construction drawing.

Perspectives, isometries and planar views of a building can be rendered as line graphics and can also be reworked.

3D data can be exported in different exchange formats to programs which can render graphics from the data. That allows a rapid and high quality simulation of buildings.

Further development of the Amiga version is put to halt currently, for that reason the latest full version is now available for free.

For further information about the Windows and Linux versions of Cycas please visit the official website.

Download:

German version: Cycas178_DE.lha (1.2 MB) (Readme)
English version: Cycas178_EN.lha (1.2 MB) (Readme) (cg) (Translation: ub)
