Threads

We examine the inner workings of the

kernel. Threads are “light weight

processes”. These help to reduce the

overall overhead of the processor by

sharing fundamental parts. By sharing

these parts, switching happens much

more frequently and efficiently.

We explain the differences between

the two types of threads and where they

occur.

A Better CD

Encoder. Ordi-

narily, the

process of grab-

bing the data off

a CD and encoding

it, then tagging or com-

menting on it, is very involved.

abcde is designed to automate this. It

will take an entire CD and convert it into

a compressed audio format – Ogg Vorbis

or MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3). Abcde is

a front-end command-line utility (actu-

ally, it is a shell script) that gives you all

the control you need to help rip those

CDs, all in one go.

Transmeta Kit

The Transmeta Crusoe processor with

Code Morphing software is designed to

give little heat and so open up a range of

new marketplaces.

KDE vs

Gnome

The ultimate

test. As both of

the big desktop

environment

systems have

released new

versions

recently we

decided to put

them through our gruelling laboratory

test.

We compare all the new features and

explain the differences in design and

application. An independent test to give

you all the information that you need to

decide which suits you best.

Will KDE with its new integrated

development environment win your

Subversion

Subversion is a free source code manager

and version control system intended to

replace CVS. Most open source develop-

ers have, at some stage, come across

CVS. It is the de facto standard Software

Configuration Management on free soft-

ware projects.

The primary goal of the Subversion

project is “to build a compelling replace-

ment for CVS in the open source

community”. In other words, it is

designed to implement all of the func-

tionality of CVS, with a familiar

interface, while fixing its design flaws,

and offering much improved functional-

ity. We explain how it differs and why

you should consider changing.
