  <description><![CDATA[NEW • BSD Release: OpenBSD 4.7
OpenBSD 	Bob Beck has announced the release of OpenBSD 4.7: &#34;We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.7. This is our 27th release on CD-ROM (and 28th via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 4.7 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system. Install and upgrade process changes: take more care to ensure all file systems are umounted when restarting an install or upgrade; if no possible root disk is found, keep checking until one appears; the default FTP directory for -stable is now the release directory instead of the snapshot directory. Some highlights: GNOME 2.28.2, KDE 3.5.10, Xfce 4.6.1, MySQL 5.1.42, PostgreSQL 8.4.2, Postfix 2.6.5....&#34; Read the detailed release announcement  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/173739

  <description><![CDATA[It was 82 at 1430, but the temps are starting to drop slowly as the next front moves in. Overcast now???

Front was predicted to be in after midnight.   But right now radar is clear locally.  Because of the temps they say they can pop up quickly]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[On a related note, another venerable British publication, The Times, now urges users to stop using Windows and to use Ubuntu instead: http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article7110657.ece   &#34;You know that thing that happens on your computer, when you are using Windows? When you ask it to do something, and it thinks about it, and then it keeps thinking, and then you go off and make a cup of tea, and it's still thinking, and you want to head-butt the wall, again and again, until gets all smeared and red and bloody and bits of your brain are raining down on to your shoes? Yes? Well, there's a way to stop that happening. Stop using Windows. Use Ubuntu instead. ... My Ubuntu setup is faster than a PC and prettier than a Mac. But best of all, when you ask it to do something, it does it. Or, at worst, it doesn't do it. It doesn't think about it, for hours, and then mysteriously go off the idea. It doesn't crash. It doesn't break. I don't know why everybody doesn't use it.&#34;

and not in the distrowatch plug           
But will I still be able to use Word?&#8221; you cry. Well, no. But you will be able to use something almost indistinguishable (OpenOffice), or Google Docs, which is far more useable anyway. You can mess around with it in all sorts of ways, and make it look however you want. I gather that Windows 7 is perfectly serviceable, but I wouldn&#8217;t go back. I wouldn&#8217;t see the point. It would be like moving into a generic hotel room, when you&#8217;re used to having your own house.]]></description>
