• Genode ☛ Sculpt OS release 24.10

  Among the many usability-related topics on our road map, multi-monitor support is certainly the most anticipated feature. It motivated a holistic modernization of Genode's GUI stack over several months, encompassing drivers, the GUI multiplexer, inter-component interfaces, up to widget toolkits. Sculpt OS 24.10 combines these new foundations with a convenient user interface for controlling monitor modes, making brightness adjustments, and setting up mirrored and panoramic monitor configurations.

• HowTo Geek ☛ I Took This Modern Retro Unix Distro for a Spin

  Linux isn't the only open-source OS out there, and sometimes it's fun to try out other systems. I had fond memories of using Solaris and OpenSolaris back in college, and I found Tribblix. I tried using Tribblix to see how well a modern interpretation of an older version of Unix would work.

• Kernel Space

  • The New Stack ☛ OpenPaX, a New Linux Memory Security Patch, Arrives

    Of all the top security worries, we have sweated greatly over storage and network attacks. In the last few years, memory attacks have also become more troublesome. To address this security issue, Edera has released OpenPaX, a new open source Linux kernel patch. This patch mitigates common memory safety errors and enhances system hardening.

    If its name rings a bell, chances are you’re a Linux administrator. Open Source Security‘s GrSecurity, a set of Linux kernel security programs, includes a component called PaX. This kernel program flags data memory as non-executable and program memory as non-writable. This helps prevent memory overwrite attacks and provides address space layout randomization (ASLR).
