XPde 0.5.1 Released - Screenshots (XP Linux Desktop)
XPde is a Linux desktop that looks so frighteningly close to Windows XP I didn't recognize it as other than XP itself. From the XPde website: "It's a complete desktop environment for Linux on x86. It tries to make easier for Windows XP users to use a Linux box. Nothing more, no clipboard compatibility between Gtk and Qt applications, no emulation of Windows applications, no unification on the widgets of X applications, just a desktop environment." Well, you just have to see it to believe it. Here come the screenshots.

Email Sender ID: The hype and the reality
There are a number of promising technical papers under consideration by the Internet Engineering Task Force which deal with the ever-growing problem of spam. Most of them seek to attack the spam problem obliquely rather than head on. These techniques avoid looking at message content in an attempt to determine if an email is spam or not. Instead, they focus on authenticating the sender. Since most spam comes from forged email addresses, eliminating such forgery would be a big step up in the fight against spam. In this article we'll look at the evolution of the current Sender ID proposals, and we'll also examine some of the non-technical barriers which might prevent any of the proposed solutions from ever working.

Report from the KDE World Summit: Days four and five
Writing about aKademy can begin to feel a little like writing a soap opera guide without the romance (so far). To save your patience, this report from the first two days of the coding marathon will focus largely on the scheduled content, and in particular on developments in accessibility, usability and local KDE groups. The coding marathon lasts for five days, in between the developer conference and the user conference, and allows the project's hackers to work solidly for just under a week under the same roof, and spend time discussing and working on practical issues. Alongside the marathon, a series of tutorials are being run by some of the top hackers and professionals in their fields.
XML-based documentation using AurigaDoc
One XML's many uses is creating documentation. XML is incredibly well suited to producing output in multiple formats -- everything from HTML to PDF to JavaHelp. The most popular variant of XML for creating documentation is DocBook, but for all its power and flexibility, DocBook is difficult to learn, and the DocBook toolchain can be tough to set up. Consider instead AurigaDoc, an XML-based document engine that can output more than 10 commonly used document formats. Unlike DocBook, AurigaDoc is simple to learn; it uses a small number of tags, and yet produces clean and attractive output.
