Winsucks - News

From Winsucks.org we are proud to announce the return of Undeadlinux.org. and it's announcing a complete remake of the known version DR 0.2.5.

So stay tuned for more news about.

Everyone has heard how Linux is to hard, and that you have to use the mysterious command line to get anything done. As we all know this statement is not true. In most modern Linux distro's one can get by indefinitely without ever reverting to a command line. But If you open a terminal, you can find a whole new world of computing will open up for you, and it's not as hard as you might think!

Why would I want to use the command line?

Since most of us have migrated from windows, we are used to getting things done by loading a Gui (graphical user interface) and selecting a option that we want. (And now we mostly do the same thing in Linux). But sometimes the command line is the fastest, easiest or only way to get stuff done. The command line bypasses the Gui and (in most cases) with a simple command lets us quickly accomplish our task.

Intel is apparently about to launch its "Light Peak" interconnect, offering 10Gb/sec. data transfer and the ability to connect multiple peripherals to a single cable. The technology will be announced tomorrow on MacBook Pro notebooks from Apple, where it will be branded "Thunderbolt," according to multiple reports.



Several websites report receiving a statement from Intel, according to which the chipmaker will "host a ... [Feb. 24] press briefing to discuss a new technology that is about to appear on the market." Technology and product demonstrations will be held later the same day on Intel's Santa Clara, Calif. campus, adds CNet writer Brooke Crothers.

In a related development, the Fscklog and MacRumors websites published -- first in German and then in English -- specs for a 13-inch MacBook Pro portable that's also expected to make a Feb. 24 debut. The device will reportedly feature a 2.3GHz Core i5 ("Sandy Bridge") processor, Intel HD 3000 graphics, and a new "Thunderbolt" port (below) that supports Mini DisplayPort displays and also provides high-speed I/O.

Toradex announced a Linux-based single board computer (SBC) with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom E6xx, and also debuted a PC based on it that's claimed to be "the world's smallest." The "Topaz" SBC underlies the fanless, aluminum-housed "Xiilun," which measures 3.50 x 2.36 x 0.63 inches, features up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and offers a bootable microSD slot, DVI-D, and four USB 2.0 ports.

X development veteran Keith Packard has released version 1.10 of X.org's X Server. A list of all changes, mostly minor improvements and bug fixes, are included in the release email. The most prominent new feature is the Fence interface, which was contributed by NVIDIA developers and improves the synchronisation between OpenGL-based and X rendering contexts.

All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to
a denial of service caused by memory corruption. Range
checks on file descriptors being used in the FD_SET macro
were not present allowing stack corruption. This can cause
the Samba code to crash or to loop attempting to select
on a bad file descriptor set.

A connection to a file share, or a local account is needed
to exploit this problem, either authenticated or unauthenticated
(guest connection).

Currently we do not believe this flaw is exploitable
beyond a crash or causing the code to loop, but on the
advice of our security reviewers we are releasing fixes
in case an exploit is discovered at a later date.

Pidgin and AdiumX users should update/upgrade their applications, due a Security fix discovered on the libpurple library wich is used on Pidgin and AdiumX

For slackware systems such as systems based on it, there are new packages already available.
