While it has been reported that Convenience Pack 2 and Fixpack 16 were released for the various versions of Warp 4, I have not seen any reports of Fixpack 2 for eCS.

The files for Fixpack 2 for eCS were uploaded to the eComStation site and have been available in the download area since March 15, 2002.

The complete fixpack contains 8 files (files 7 and 8 are only required for SMP systems) and may be installed using eCS Fixtool 1.09 (also available on the download site).

After installation, the kernel is updated to the 14.088 level.

eCS in Russo deve essere rilasciato in aprile.

OS/2 + Linux = ?

2002-04-01 00:39:47 -- Deniska [eComStation.Ru, Deniska]

Abbiamo delle nuove notizie circa i piani di IBM sul futuro sviluppo di OS/2 e Linux.

I programmatori, che lavorano su questi progetti, lavorano ora fianco a fianco in un'unico dipartimento. L'obiettivo Х di effettuare il porting di alcune peculiaritЮ proprie di OS/2 su Linux. Abbiamo giЮ pubblicato un messaggio concernente il lavoro in cui sono impegnati i programmatori. Ora sappiamo che il porting del Presentation Manager e persino dell'Interfaccia Area di lavoro (Workplace Shell) Х stato quasi completato.

Vista la situazione, cominceremo a fornire agli utenti OS/2 tutte le notizie dal mondo Linux. Questa riorganizzazione risulta, al momento, un'evoluzione naturale.

Abbiamo bisogno di un nuovo logo per il nostro sito. Tutti i pinguini sono i benvenuti, sceglieremo il piЫ bel logo fra quelli inviatici.
