Red Hat Releases Beta Versions of Upcoming Releases Red Hat has made public Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 (standard Linux version), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.9.5AS/WS (enterprise versions), beta versions of upcoming releases. These releases will inevitably become part of what will be a series starting with the current Red Hat Linux 9, which is widely regarded as a successful release and one I have found to be excellent. This gives us reason to expect good things from these upcoming releases. The beta versions can also be downloaded from S. A. Hughes Consulting's FTP site, ftp.sanguine.net. |

SquirrelMail Webmail Articles In Japanese Magazines Articles written by Masato Higashiyama and I on SquirrelMail, a fully functional webmail software package, appeared in both Japan's UNIX USER and Nikkei Linux, which went on sale on the 8th of April (May editions). Masato and I are a two man team, The RisuMail Team (risu means squirrel in Japanese), and together we provide commercial services using SquirrelMail, both in and outside Japan, in English and Japanese. We integrate and support full mail systems which are inexpensive, secure, and can be used by any one straight away, with essentially no learning curve. We will soon be opening our RisuMail English site. In the meantime, please feel free to direct any inquiries regarding our services to me. |

Red Hat Linux 9 Supported! As of Today, the 7th of April 2003, S. A. Hughes Consulting supports Red Hat Linux 9. This announcement follows nearly one week of considerable pre-release testing on a number of different Intel and Intel compatible servers (including VIA Technology's EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard), and the results were encouraging. This looks to be a very robust and stable release. Red Hat Linux 9 is due to be released in the US today. English/Japanese Language Services Commenced! I now offer my languages services (English <-> Japanese), interpreting and translating, as an official part of my business offerings. My skills in this area can be considered a by-product of 10 years in Japan and a formal tertiary education here. Please see the Language Services section for details. Custom RPMs for Red Hat Linux 7.2 Retired As of today, I have retired my custom RPMs for Red Hat Linux 7.2. 7.2 was and still is a good release, however all the servers I manage are now either 7.3 or 6.2, with 9 to be added, and as such, I have no need to maintain this release from herein. In line with this, the custom rpm directory for 7.2 has been removed from http://ftp.sanguine.net/pub/sahughes/rhl/. Please note that I am still maintaining 7.2 compatible SquirrelMail and Mailman on rpms, and that I can maintain rpms for any release on contract. See the Support section for details. Site Overhauled The structure of this site has been changed almost entirely, and as part of this, news and information previously featured on the site top page is now available in either of the Service News or Technical News. |

We also simultaneously launched our site for commercial services centering on this fantastic Webmail software:The RisuMail Team: http://www.risumail.jp/ ("Risu" means "squirrel" in Japanese.) These sites were launched and our services officially commenced on the 28th of February. We will soon be announcing an English site! News about the opening of SquirrelMail Japan and our commercial services were featured in the April editions of both UNIX USER (Softbank) and Nikkei Linux (Nikkei BP) magazines in Japan, which went on sale March 8.The online version of the news in UNIX USER (in Japanese) is here, and the screen shot included in the news item is here. |
