HTNet - A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement

My favourite DE, Xfce has a new point release, in fact, it’s the first point release of the 4.2 series. Downloads are available here.

I can’t find the damn changelog for this release, if anybody has an idea where it is, please drop a comment.

For those you who can’t find a binary package for your own distro (or *nix-like OS), but have neither time nor patience to compile Xfce from sources, you should check out the graphical installers from the guys at os-cillation.com. They work great! I know, I use them myself .

Update: Xfce 4.2.1.1 has been released quickly after 4.2.1. It includes a fix for a bad bug where panel loses its configuration when saving the session in 4.2.1. Found the changelog for 4.2.1 here.

Through random browsing of the NVIDIA web site, I saw that they have updated their Linux graphics drivers.

This release, version 1.0-7167, is now compatible with the latest 2.6 Linux kernel. The README file has also been updated.

This took some time, but hey, at least I need not wait as long as the Linux sods who are using ATI cards… I don’t have a few lifetimes to burn :p

BitTorrent, the protocol which allegedly accounts for more than one-third of all Internet traffic, has now hit version 4.0.0.

Another interesting point to note about this release is that the license has changed from the MIT license to BitTorrent Open Source License, which basically is a derivative of the Jabber Open Source License. Somehow after writing this, I felt that 99% of you don’t really give a flying hoot about this… but what the hell, I already typed the damned thing .
