Conky is an advanced, highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo   This is the next maintenance release for Conky, prompted by bugs introduced in 1.4.6.  Also notable is changes/clarifications made to licensing.  If you have any problems with the licensing changes (ie. someone got left out of AUTHORS) please let us know.  Summary of changes is as follows:      * Check for pkg-config >=0.19     * Use timed_thread for mpd     * Fixed issue with SIGPIPE and mpd     * Updated COPYING (with more clarifications)     * Updated vim/nano syntax files.     * Added $hwmon var, similar to $i2c and $platform.     * Added var $platform which is similar to $i2c and accommodates the conversion       of many devices from /sys/bus/i2c/devices to /sys/bus/platform/devices.     * Removed config item post_21_kernel since it forced all i2c device lookups       to go to /sys/bus/platform/devices and some people may need a mix of both         i2c and platform devices.     * Clarifying licensing     * RSS support     * Wireless support for Linux  Regards,  Brenden

The eagerly-awaited Ubuntu Studio has been released, adding another entry into the expanding list of multimedia-optimized Linux distributions. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but interested readers can peruse some installation screenshots or check out the latest news and information on the Ubuntu Studio Wiki. I plan to review the distro in a future column, along with an update on the latest version of the venerable PlanetCCRMA, but in this entry I'm focused on another very exciting new release. Ardour 2.0 is now available for download. This version is a significant improvement over the 0.99 series (1.0 was never released), with many new features and enhancements to performance and stability. The following article profiles the new Ardour as I employed it for three projects, all involving the program in the processes of composition and arranging as well as the more typical tasks of recording and editing. I've described each project in some detail, and each description includes a link to the final audio output.

Novell brings updated kernel to enterprise LinuxTimed to coincide with this yearâs linuxworld expo, Novell has announced SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. Though Novellâs SuSE division has marketed a commercial Linux distribution based on the v2.6 kernel, this is the first to be granted the more stringently qualified âenterpriseâ designation. Besides kernel-level improvements and the usual collection of updated software packages, this release offers improved fail-over, clustering, and resource management and comes bundled with Novellâs ZENworks configuration management software for Linux. The company claims that its AutoBuild system allows it to offer identical configurations for a variety of platforms, including x86 (both 32- and 64-bit), Itanium, IBM POWER, and IBM mainframes. Free evaluation downloads are available now and support subscriptions start at $349 per dual-CPU server.SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, Novell/SuSE
