It's a good idea to compile your own XFree86 once a year, whether you need to or not.
For one thing, features actually do get added to XFree from time to time. For another, the terror felt by many at the mere mention of compiling XFree86 is something that ought to be defused. And then there is the secret.

Ike Adams died over the weekend.
I suppose he was about due. He was 88 and his health had been none too good these last few years.

We live in paranoid times. Threats that once seemed inconceivable are now a matter of serious concern. People are using PGP or GPG to sign their messages even to mailing lists, lest it be thought that the nothing they have to say is being said by someone else under their names. Tens of thousands of people suspect, and dozens more feel certain, that government agencies are monitoring their every keystroke.
For such persons, there is MindGuard.

Rant Mode Equals One
by Paul Ferris

by Dennis E. Powell

And what is this DeScribe thing he keeps talking about?
Read on. Your questions will be answered.

There is nothing quite like this week's broadcast of The Civil War on PBS to spark one's imagination, and curiousity as to where in history one's forebears found themselves. (Indeed, it was the first night's broadcast that led Linux and Main's editor to go looking on the Web and find his great grandfather's picture, in his 81st Indiana Volunteers regalia, no less.) Those in other countries may well find other sources of inspiration, but no matter the motivation the quest is worthwhile.
