PC Linux OS Preview 9 Download

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

Download

“PCLinuxOS Preview 9 (pclinuxos-p9.iso)
is now available on the
following Mirrors for FTP download.”

Use the http://ftp2.be.freesbie.org/packages/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/ link. I tried all last night to get the one off the first link but kept getting a few meg and then quitting. Could start the dl again but would do the same thing. Tried the other one about an hour ago and already got the iso and am burning it now.

New Zealand’s government is pointing out that if documents are written in DRM format, particularly in proprietary DRM formats, there are privacy and accessibility issues, particularly in the future.

Interesting point(s) made in this article and in the comments. I have run into this before with apple (IIe and IIc and then again with mac. Fortunately by the time I got to using windows I had gotten into the habit of using plain text for the archival properties if nothing else. no way to preserve the formatting but tis a small price to pay for being able to read the document 10 years later. Also other than price the main reason I moved to gimp as soon as I could on all platforms instead of using photoshop and paint and the other propritary graphics programs was the open format(s) the data could be stored in.

Good read. And one to bookmark to show your boss when the open source vs microsloth argument comes up again.
