I am dumb-founded at the persistence of these viral myths...I use pd wares
constantly without any viral incidents.  I suggest that you pay closer
attention to what you put in your floppy drives, and use some sort of 
virus scanner.  Take some responsibility and educate yourself!

Take a look at ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/os/linux/incoming.
There's a ported cmu-snmpd. Its readme tells something about kernel
diffs, which *do* already be implemented in kernel release 1.1.16.

   YES - has anyone out there ever played with Acorn machines??? (NOT the old 
   BBC's, but the Archimedes / Risc PC's!!).  With a mere 1Mb of main memory 
   you can run !Impression, this is a fully fledged WYSIWYG Word-Processor / 
   DTP - including Anti-Aliased fonts and drag and drop graphics / text.  Okay,
   so the operating system is in ROM :) but the total is well under 4.5 Meg.

Absolutely! I've always been impressed with the RISC-OS GUI on the Archimedes
machines. No other window system has such a complete and intuitive Drag 'n Drop
implementation. Mac and Windows just don't come close. Now if only some
guru could produce a RISC-OS style front-end for Linux/X-Windows. I've thought
about doing myself but I really need a more powerful hardware set-up
(and probably an extra brain!) before I undertake such a large project.

I've thought about calling it Ric's OS. Do you think Acorn would mind?!

Just heard from InfoMagic, their current release Linux was sold out, the 
customers will be referred to Universal CD-ROM.

Universal CD-ROM also carries other Linux distributions and can ship on 
the same day of ordering with US Priority mail (2-3 days to arrive).

For further information, please reply by email to alte@rahul.net or call 
408-369-9818.

I would approve it to be posted to c.o.l.announce, monthly.

Not necessarily. Take a look at the kernel credits file. People need to
be informed of the proper channels for each project, however---mailing
list addresses should be listed when appropriate.

It should be archived. It's not going to change _that_ rapidly.
