Kernel Traffic (and cousins) move to new site. Zack Brown has announced that the Kernel Traffic site, along with its various "cousins," have moved to a new site. The author's email address has rather abruptly changed as well, as part of the "restructuring" at Linuxcare.

Unix family tree. Worth a look: this Unix family tree posted by Éric Lévénez. It's highly detailed, and available in PostScript format so you can print up your own, 12-page version. (Thanks to Jay R. Ashworth).

What Are You Gonna Do? 'Make' Me?. LinuxLookup looks at 'make'. "Make can execute compiler/linker commands, shell commands, other makefiles, and even has some nifty scripting features of its own."

Where Do I Put Startup Commands In Debian?. Linuxnewbie.org looks at Debian startup commands.

Events

LinuxTag 2001 call for papers. LinuxTag 2001 will be held in Stuttgart on July 5-7, 2001. The call for papers has gone out, for those who would like to present there; talks can be in either German or English. The CFP gives February 8 (i.e., last week) as the due date for abstracts, but, given the lateness of the notice, one would hope that they would accept submissions for just a little longer.
