Technicalia It's a good idea to compile your own XFree86 once a year, whether you need to or not.

Commentary The view from the desktop

by Dennis E. Powell

Features 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.

Technicalia 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.)
