Recompiling KDE-3.3 with all the bells and chimes

Well, I just solved one little problem during compilation of the new KDE-3.3 with success. There was problem while I was trying to compile kdelibs with options --mt and --with-threading as it stopped with error message something like "invalid ELF header" while compiling kdedoctools. Turned out, it was caused by libpthread.so which is actually a text file contains a pointer to the real shared object file (libpthread.so.22). Seems my new kernel (2.6.8.1) did not like it. After rename it to libpthread.so.1, the compilation went successfuly.

Phew!

Some Interesting Softwares (Free!)

He just touches the surface, of course, and is only delving into some aspects of one particular implementation - but what we're seeing is  that folks are gaining  a greater understanding of these types of issues from a systems approach...

Apparently, we aren't talking about simple brute-forcing or birthday attacks, either. Antoine Joux just presented a paper on this subject at Crypto 2004 in Santa Barbara - did anyone attend?

Here's another one on MD5, MD4, HAVAL-128, and RIPEMD:

My own server is now up and running at Home Linux Server.
Right now it does not have anything in it as I just finished installing Apache server on my server. Stay tuned to see new stuff there!

Haydar Linux is full functional Arabic Linux based on Debian (?). But when I clicked on the link, there is no information where to download the link. Anybody knows where we can download it? I'll appreciate it.

Thanks.
