Go-OO

“Go-OO” – what is that?

Actually that was my first reaction when I read about this project.

And the answer pops on the first page of the web site.

“Your office suite. Better, Faster, Freerer.”

Go-OO is based on OpenOffice.org code, but the developpers added:

  • interoperability – better OpenXML support, Works filter, VBA scripting
  • functionality – better Chinese support, interface polishing
  • speed – 20-30% faster

More information could be found on their discover page.

So visit their site and get it…

Finally updates are pushing to the mirrors.

Here is official announcement.

For list of updates see this post.

Happy upgrading.

Sun announced agreement to acquire Innotek just after they announced VirtualBox for Open Solaris.

Recently a lot of work was done in exploiting browsers cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

Now research by Aaron Weaver showed the possibility to use browser connected to malicious site to send print jobs to network printers. This may be big problem for companies – usually home users use only locally connected printers.

It is just matter of time to create a tool and sell it to the spammers. Then we can say welcome to “printer” spam.

In his blog Tom Drapeau announced that AOL will stop development of their Netscape browser.

Security patches will be released until 1 February 2008.

In the net there are rumors that next version of ASUS Eee PC will have 8.9″ (1024×600) screen and integrated WiMAX and will be based on Intel Menlow platform.

Microsoft release candidate for Windows XP service pack 3 is available for download.

You can download it now:

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4.6/isos/

Major changes for this version are:

* samba has been updated to version 3.0.25b. This addresses several
critical issues affecting interoperability with Windows 2003в„ў and
Windows Vistaв„ў (resolved in recent upstream releases).

* autofs5 is included in this release as a Technology Preview. This new
version of autofs resolves several long-standing interoperability issues
in multi-vendor environments.

* There is a technology preview of OpenOffice-2.0 included in the
updates directory. You can install this OOo2 preview alongside the
current OOo-1.1.5 version, or you may install the OOo2 preview alone.
We apologize that this was not included on the ISOs, however it was not
on the upstream ISOs and we followed that layout. To List the new
OpenOffice-2.0 RPMS with yum use this command:

yum search openoffice.org2 | grep i386 | grep -v langpack

For finding Language Packs (if you want other than English) do:

yum search openoffice.org2 | grep langpack

Use “yum install <pkg_name1> <pkg_name2>” to install the packages
that you want, or “yum info <pkg_name1> <pkg_name2>” to obtain more
information about them.

* A new yum included in CentOS-4.6 requires the installation of
yum-metadata-parser. The yum-metadata-parser package contains a
metadata parser for yum written in C. It speeds up the metadata parsing
phase of yum considerably and does not change yum behavior in any other way.

Soon after ASUS released it on the market first enthusiast’s already hack/mod it.
