OT - Linux apps. I've bought 1 commercial linux app, and I strongly recommend
it to all you folk running Unix (or VMS, I think) on classic machines (woohoo,
a tiein back on topic. :) - it's called Dnews. It runs on windows, Unix
, OS/2, Mac, Novell Netware, VMS, etc, according to their web site.
It's not cheap. My two user licence cost me about 200 bucks... but it sets up
in 5 minutes. Honest. And it's solid and reliable, and I have no regrets
whatever. It can do both IHAVE and multiple site suck feeding, lots of other
cool stuff.
Their web site is
http://netwinsite.com. Note that they also have VERY
nice educational discounts on some of their products, including a 100%
discount for universities and schools using Dnews for non-profit
activities.
My only problem with this software is what happens when the clock gets munged
(as happens on my somewhat elderly linux box from time to time) - if it
goes before the beginning of the license, you have to reinstall the license
to make it work again. KEEP YOUR LICENSE INFORMATION HANDY. :)
