I don't usually spend much time explaining metaphors. They are, after all,
metaphorical. They can be filled with whatever symbolism you choose. Written
well, we all come to some similar understanding of their meaning. But, I'll
depart today, contrary to my normal practice, to take a few minutes explaining a
recent metaphor.<p>
I'm a Linux guy through and through. As a user, I see myself as right about at
the average on the curve. For love of the language and open source attitude,
though, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone with quite the same level of
enthusiasm. Put simply, there's very little about the Linux and broader open
source worlds that I don't like or believe in.<p>
Take, for example, the practice of recursive acronyms. GNU ("Gnu's Not Unix"),
HURD ("Herd of Unix-Replacing Daemons"), WINE ("Wine Is Not an Emulator"), even
PHP ("PHP Hypertext Processor") - all carry on the tradition of recursion in the
Unix/Linux world. Goofy as it sounds, I love this stuff.<p>
So it is that I set out to create a recursive metaphor last week. It could only
have happened on or about the 4th of July. In fact, it happened in the edition
of the 3rd. I wrote a piece about how we Americans spend more time over the
course of a year talking about what's <i>wrong</i> with our system than what's
right. I wrote it knowing full well that many of the responses I'd get would be
a) from readers outside the US and b) in sharp disagreement to my comments or
those of citizens of other countries. You're following me, right? People would
disagree with an article that said we spend much time disagreeing. This, of
course, would prove my point in a somewhat metaphorical way - the perfect
recursive metaphor. The point was to be made yet more perfectly by the eventual
inclusion in Penguin Shell of the comments of someone from <i>outside</i> the US
disagreeing with my take our argumentativeness as Americans. Ideally, they would
be comments that disagreed with our collective American perception of being
disagreeable. They would, of course, point out things about which citizens of
other countries can disagree with Americans on. By exercising the right to
disagree, we'd subtly agree that we have that right. Yet another level of
recursion and a final layer of metaphor.<p>
The response to both my own and Johan Sauviller's comments was overwhelming. In
the main, I believe both were appreciated. Many commented on the balance of the
two pieces. Some readers were surprised, I think, to see a dissenting opinion
published so quickly, if at all. Overall, the ability to express honestly held
opinions, to agree and to disagree on a global level closed the circle on the
metaphor in a perfect way.<p>
Things have, however, gotten a bit more ugly in the past few days. I'm not sure
whether some were slow in getting to the July 3rd issue, or whether it's just
been stewing since then. Take, for instance, these comments by a reader who will
remain mercifully nameless:
<blockquote>
We get enough
America bashing from our left-wing whacko extremist press and schools here
in the USA that we don't wish to hear some (insert favorite adjective here)
from Belgium whining too!
</blockquote><p>
Followed by:
<blockquote>
... please don't let Tony single-handedly tarnish the fine reputation
of Lockergnome. I'm sure there are other articulate Linux experts out there who
would be able to replace him.
</blockquote><p>
... and, in a later note on the topic ...
<blockquote>
Censorship is to be encouraged in a
free-market society whenever and wherever it doesn't come from the
government.
</blockquote><p>
Clearly, the metaphor just whizzed right over the heads of some.<p>
<a href="http://www.lockergnome.com/issues/daily.html" target="_blank">Chris</a>
has been great about allowing all his authors plenty of room in the editorial
piece at the beginning of each newsletter. This particular piece is no
exception. He's shown a quiet confidence in the face of some very shrill
comments. While we all generally stay focused on technical issues, Chris has
shown unwavering support for the notion that we geeks are, in the end, humans
with opinions and thoughts to share. I think it's one of the things that makes
the Lockergnome newsletters stand out from the pack - the personal touch.<p>
So, despite the irrationality of some of this week's comments, I'll continue to
occasionally throw in a personal aside with the technical stuff.<p>
Just watch out. Recursive metaphors are only funny until someone puts an eye
out.<p><p>

<b>Win Apps in Linux?</b><p>
Yesterday, I mentioned an interesting review of two products for Linux by <a
href="http://www.codeweavers.com/" target="_blank">CodeWeavers</a> - CrossOver
Office and CrossOver Plugin. You've probably heard of both by now, as they've
garnered quite a bit of publicity both in and out of the Linux world. You'll
recall that I promised to try to secure copies for review this week. With the
help of a friendly sales rep at CodeWeavers, I was able to accomplish that task
this morning. True to the second half of the promise, we'll spend the next few
days looking at these two products and how they might impact your Linux use.
Let's take them in chronological order, starting today with CrossOver Plugin.<p>
A bit of background is in order. CodeWeavers is, in their own words, " ... the
leading corporate backer of the <a href="http://wine.codeweavers.com/"
target="_blank">Wine Project</a>. Wine has been, for the past several years, an
ongoing project to port Windows applications to Linux. It's a tough goal, but
it's also one that's been undertaken by <a href="http://www.lindows.com/"
target="_blank">others</a> in the past year or so. Though the progress has been
slow, the Wine project has managed to stay at the front of this development
realm.<p>
<a href="http://codeweavers.com/products/crossover/" target="_blank">CrossOver
Plugin</a> marks a change in the philosophy of the Wine Project. Prior to its
release, Wine had taken a "full system" approach. Running Windows applications
in Wine required the installation of a sizeable daemon and no small amount of
configuration work. CrossOver Plugin has moved Wine away from the system-wide
approach to one that's much more modular. Rather than executing at system
startup, Wine is called as-needed, with the virtual Windows path to the called
program. When the program is closed, so is Wine. CrossOver Plugin has focused on
creating Linux functionality with <i>one</i> related set of Windows
applications: browser plugins.<p>
The results stand as a clear indication that the change in philosophy is a
success. Off the top, CrossOver Plugin bundles QuickTime 5, Windows Media Player
6.2, Shockwave 8.5, Flash 6, and RealPlayer 8 into a Linux-accesible browser
plugin package. Throw in more esoteric apps like IPix, Trillian, Authorware Web
Player 6 and eFax Messenger 2, and you've got virtually every need plugin need
covered.<p>
But this package doesn't stop there. Included in the CrossOver Plugin package
are viewers for Word, Excel and Powerpoint, as well as several
Microsoft-oriented fonts. Honestly, I was stunned at the range of applications
offered by the CodeWeavers developers.<p>
Having had some experience with Wine, I was a bit leery about the install
process and about the ability to get all these great applications to work with
my RedHat setup. I've never been completely successful with Wine, but I hoped
for the best when I started the CrossOver Plugin installation. I really did want
these apps to work.<p>
The installation was quite easy. By running the install-crossover.sh script from
the command line, I was able to install the installers for both CrossOver Plugin
and CrossOver Office, which we'll talk about tomorrow. I started the plugin
installs with QuickTime, a tool I've admittedly missed in Linux. In the
background, CrossOver Plugin had already created a virtual C:\ drive on my
machine. I clicked on the QuickTime install and immediately saw a familiar sight
- the Vise installer in its Windows format. CrossOver Plugin first checked for
feedback from the Windows binary, opened a virtual Windows window, then stepped
out while the Vise installer took care of the rest. Though the install failed
four times, it appeared to be a server failure rather than a failure of the
CrossOver program. I kept "retry"ing and, with some persistence, managed to get
a full QuickTime 5 install downloaded from the Apple servers. Quite literally,
the install looked and performed exactly as I've seem many times in Windows.
When the install was completed, CrossOver again checked for the Windows binary,
located the appropriate .dll files in the virtual C:\ drive and dropped the
plugins into the /home/tony/.netscape/plugins and /home/tony/.mozilla/plugins
directories.<p>
The process was so smooth that I had to check the plugin listings in these
browsers - "Help", "About Plugins." Sure enough, the CrossOver QuickTime plugin
was listed. Quickly, I ran out to the Apple site and opened the "Men In Black
II" movie trailer. QuickTime performed flawlessly.<p>
I followed with the Windows Media Player, Shockwave, Flash, IPix, and eFax
Messenger installs. Of those, the only ones that weren't self-contained in the
CrossOver install were IPix and eFax. Even at that, the installer pointed me to
the Windows download then found the .exe file when the download was done. Within
a half-hour, I had all installed and tested.<p>
Then, just for grins, I installed RealPlayer 8 via CrossOver. This was despite
the recommendation in the installer screen to use the Linux version. It went as
smoothly as the others with one caveat - the player played media files at a much
faster speed than that in Windows. Fast enough to make me laugh, in fact,
reminded of Dave and Alvin the Chipmunk. Ah well, six out of seven is pretty
strong given my previous troubles with Wine.<p>
I also installed a few fonts - Arial, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, and Veranda.
In every case, the install was quick and absolutely painless.<p>
Wine has always held great promise. At times, it's been painful to watch the
tedious pace of development, only because that promise was so alluring. With the
backing of CodeWeavers and a fundamental change in the approach to development,
Wine has finally realized the goal of integrating Windows applications
seamlessly into the stable Linux environment. The results are so strong that, if
I didn't know better, I'd swear that a few of these plugins actually run better
in Linux than in their native Windows. Honestly, I didn't realize how much I
missed them until I started using them in Linux today.<p>
Tomorrow holds a few surpirses, with a look at CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office
package.<p><p>

<b>Kernel Configuration - Part IX</b><p>
We're nine parts into the kernel configuration series, with quite a bit yet to
go. If you haven't been following along, we're breaking out the configuration
screens one at a time in an attempt to shed some light on the purpose and
function of each. With that knowledge, you should be able to make a clear
decision as to how to configure each section.<p>
Today, it's the Parallel Port support section. This is pretty simple. If you
need parallel port support - such as for a printer - select this option either
as a driver built into the kernel or as a loadable module.<p>
Most will use the PC-style hardware option in conjuction with a Windows printer.
But that's not all the parallel port can be used for. As an example, the builds
I did with the telescope company required parallel port support, as the
telescope cameras were attached to this port.<p>
Be aware - this kernel configuration option only makes a driver available for
the parallel port. The computer's BIOS sets the mode for the port - ECP, EPP, or
Auto. On the majority of modern computers, the Auto mode is the default and will
work just fine. However, if you have problems communicating with your printer
following a kernel recompile, try changing the mode of your printer in the
BIOS.<p>
Tomorrow, it's Plug and Play configuration.<p><p>

"Netics is an extensible network statistics collector. It puts the network
interface in promiscuous mode and reads the data stream (after it strips off the
appropriate protocol headers), then displays the results at specified intervals,
either in a "progress bar" mode or as raw statistics. Currently, it supports 2
statistics, both involving entropy: LZW compressability and Ueli Maurer's
universal statistical test. Maurer's test is a very good and comprehensive
measure of entropy, but requires a large amount of data. The LZW statistic
requires much less data."<p><p>

Nurses and educators that make our camp possible. Yes even me the lowly
web master donates his time and web space at ATT to the cause.<p>
"ATT recently decided to pull access to our photo page due to a password
protection. We give out a password to all parents so that they can see
photos of camp while the sessions are happening. We do not however what
the creeps of the web to have access to photos of our kids.<p>
"We are looking for someone in the state to help our camp by donating web
space. Now it may not be your organization, but I know Linux people and
Lockergnome and I think someone there may know someone who would be able
to help us.<p>
"You can still have access to the public part of our site that ATT has not
