LinuxDevices.com: A developer's review of MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux SDK (Oct 11, 2001, 23:10)
"Unlike Embedix, which has a strong (and successful) emphasis on
user friendliness, Hard Hat Linux can be expected to appeal to
current Linux users requiring features specific to embedded
systems. Its configuration and development model follows the GNU
model closely. GCC, GDB, and DDD are used for program compilation

Red Hat: ext3 information
(Oct 11, 2001, 05:41)
Michael Johnson, manager of Red Hat's kernel development team,
wrote up a piece about some of the benefits involved in Red Hat's
choice of ext3 for its next release (currently in beta), and the
steps the distro's developers have taken to ensure a clean
transition from ext2. He's careful to point that "it's not an
anti-any-other-filesystem tirade at all," and a reasonable reading
of his writing will bear that out.
[ With Red Hat 7.2 approaching release and readers discussing
this particular issue once again, we're returning this item from

Mozilla.org Response to the W3C Patent Policy Framework Working Draft
(Oct 11, 2001, 05:19)
"If there needs to be a venue where companies can get together
and create documents that describe their patent-encumbered
standards, they should do that outside of the W3C. The W3C should
promote standards that are truly freely available. This would
promote truly interoperable software and standards and would put
the resulting technologies into the hands of as many people as
possible."
