*Google Adds Phone Calls to Linux Gmail Use*

By Susan Linton
Five days after the announcement of Voice and Video Chat service in
Gmail for Debian-based Linux distributions, Google unveiled a Gmail
phone call service for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Rather than having both
parties tied to their computers and logged into their Gmail accounts,
one user can now call anyone in the US and Canada with telephone
service. Google states that rates will remain free for the rest of the
year and very low for international calls. more>>

*New Wine: Running Windows Music & Sound Applications Under Wine 1.2*
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=27315736&msgid=156698&act=HF8Z&c=656721&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linuxjournal.com%2Fcontent%2Fnew-wine-running-windows-music-sound-applications-under-wine-12>
By Dave Phillips
Wine runs many Windows programs nicely these days, including more and
more serious music applications. Dave profiles some of those
applications running under the latest & greatest Wine 1.2 On July 16 the
Wine development team announced the public release of Wine 1.2, the
"WINdows Emulator", aka "Wine Is Not an Emulator". I hadn't been keeping
up with the project, so I decided to revisit it to see how Wine's
audio/MIDI support had evolved. Past releases enabled a variety of small
and mid-sized sound applications to run, but would the latest & greatest
be able to meet the demands of at least some of the more popular music
programs for Windows ? Read on to learn the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth about running Windows music applications in Linux
under the latest Wine. more>>

*Dual Boot openSUSE USB Stick Installer*

By Mitch Frazier
In the latest round of upgrades and new installs of openSUSE around here
I decided to take a different approach and use the network install and
install from a USB stick rather than a DVD. While I was at it I decided
that I'd try to make a dual boot installer that would allow me to
install either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the latest openSUSE
(version 11.3) from the same USB stick.more>>

*As Predicted, OpenSolaris Board Disbands*
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=27315736&msgid=156698&act=HF8Z&c=656721&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linuxjournal.com%2Fcontent%2Fpredicted-opensolaris-board-disbands>
By Susan Linton
When the OpenSolaris Governing Board issued their ultimatum to Oracle on
July 12, few thought it would have the desired effect of saving
OpenSolaris. The board sent a message that if Oracle didn't start to
show some interest in OpenSolaris by August 23, they would disband and
leave OpenSolaris without leadership and guidance. That day arrived and
the board did as they promised. Oracle had practically ignored
OpenSolaris since its acquisition of Sun and its assets last year. The
OpenSolaris board tried to continue work, but it became increasingly
difficult as they wondered if their work was being wasted. So on July 12
the board issued their now famous "put up or quit" message. Most
believed Oracle would allow this date to come and pass without reply,
but they were wrong. Oracle did respond, just not the way anyone
wanted.more>>
