BLAG9001 is an updated release of BLAG9000. The major changes
are lots of RedHat errata fixes (new kernel, new XFree86, new
glibc), some BLAG package updates, and a handful of new
packages. If you are running 9000, you can get all of these
updates via apt-get or synaptic.
A bit of the New
================
dasher
dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven
by natural continuous pointing gestures. Dasher is a
competitive text-entry system wherever a full-size keyboard
cannot be used. This is a dry explanation for a tool that
allows you to type by sailing through letters. Works with
gnome.
kernel-ntfs
This RPM contains a binary Linux kernel module, which provides
read-only NTFS support.
netatalk
This package enables Linux to talk to Macintosh computers via
the AppleTalk networking protocol. It includes a daemon to
allow Linux to act as a file server over EtherTalk or IP for
Macs.
Updated BLAG packages
=====================
alsa, mhash, blender, sodipodi, transcode, synaptic,
swh-plugins, speex, speedtouch, pfaedit, kino, freej,
dvdauthor, bluefish, gtkpod, vls, and dvgrab.
Updated RedHat errata fixes
===========================
rsync, net-snmp, kernel, XFree86, iproute, pan, glibc, and
ethereal.
