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.
