Yeah, well Via's driver support for Linux is horrible, while the Intel Atom stuff just works perfectly with Ubuntu out of the box. That may have something to do with why Intel is preferred.

Shame the TCP/IP stack isn't on the microcontroller. Putting uIP on there, or grabbing bits from my stack (http://www.mcternan.co.uk/MAD/) would be awesome.

Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again 329

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday December 19, 2008 @04:11PM from the cut-me-twice-shame-on-you dept.

miller60 writes "Three undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea have failed within minutes of each other in an incident that is eerily similar to a series of cable cuts in the region in early 2008. The cable cuts are already causing serious service problems in the Middle East and Asia. See coverage at the Internet Storm Center, Data Center Knowledge and Bloomberg. The February 2008 cable cuts triggered rampant speculation about sabotage, but were later attributed to ships that dropped anchor in the wrong place."

FreeBSD Begins Switch to Subversion 120

Posted by timothy on Wednesday June 04, 2008 @02:10PM from the subvert-the-dominant-paradigm dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The FreeBSD Project has begun the switch of its source code management system from CVS to Subversion. At this point in time, FreeBSD's developers are making changes to the base system in the Subversion repository. We have a replication system in place that exports our work to the legacy CVS tree on a continuous basis. People who are using our extensive CVS based distribution network (including anoncvs, CVSup, cvsweb, ftp) will not be interrupted by our work-in-progress. We are committed to maintaining the existing CVS based distribution system for at least the support lifetime of all existing 'stable' branches. Security and errata patches will continue to be made available in their usual CVS locations."
