Mono Debugger Released and DB2 provider, MacOS X  "After six month of extensive development, Martin Baulig has released the first version of the Mono debugger. The Mono debugger is written in C# and can debug both managed and unmanaged applications, support for multiple-threaded applications and should be relatively easy to port to new platforms. Details of the release are available in post. The debugger contains both Gtk# and command line interfaces. The debugging file format used in Dwarf (its already supported by our class libraries and the Mono C# compiler; To debug C applications, you need a recent GCC, or to pass the -gdwarf-2 flag to gcc)... ...Christopher Bockner has contributed a DB2 System.Data client. MacOS X support on the runtime has been integrated into the distribution, and MCS works with it. Zoltan has managed to get IKVM (a Java VM for .NET) to run with Mono. The HelloWorld.class runs with the Mono runtime." [Mono] 8:30:40 PM    comment []

Open Source and Linux: 2002 Poster Children for Security Problems "Open source software is now the major source of elevated security vulnerabilities for IT buyers. Security advisories from Cert for the first 10 months of 2002 show that open source and Linux software accounted for more than half of all advisories. The poster child for security glitches is no longer Microsoft; this label now belongs to open source and Linux software suppliers." [Report from Aberdeen] 6:31:08 PM    comment []
