Awal Juli ini pengembang Slackware telah mengumumkan rilis pertama untuk tahun ini, yaitu Slakware 12.0. Agak telat memang, karena tanggal rilis nya adalah 2 Juli 2007. Tapi baru sempet download sekarang.

Nyobain download dari mirror lokal di server Kambing, tapi sampe sekarang ga konek2. Akhirnya ngambil dari mirror luar, ketemunya di server Australia. Tapi sayang, ga ada versi DVD nya. jadi cuma bisa download versi CD. yang jumlahnya ada 6 CD ISO.

Total waktu download semuanya: 00:48:11, duh lebih lama dari yang diharapkan. Karena partial 6 ISO jadinya lebih lama.

Fitur andalan yang ada di Slakware terbaru ini antara lain:
- Runs the 2.6.21.5 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
Also included is a kernel patched with Speakup to support speech synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually impaired community. The 2.6.x kernel series has matured into a stable kernel, and provides reliable performance for your desktop or your production server.

- System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.5.
This version of glibc also has excellent compatibility with existing binaries.

- X11 7.2.0. This is the X.Org Foundation’s modular X Window System.
You will notice many more X package than before, and it’s probably best to install them all. There’s been much activity in the X
development world, and the improvements here in terms of performance and hardware support are sure to be only the beginning.

- Installs gcc-4.1.2 as the default C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77/95, and Ada 95 compiler.

- Support for fully encrypted network connections with OpenSSL, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, and GnuPG.

- Apache (httpd) 2.2.4 web server with Dynamic Shared Object support, SSL, and PHP 5.2.3.

- PCMCIA, CardBus, USB, IEE1394 (FireWire) and ACPI support.
This makes Slackware a great operating system for your laptop.

- The udev dynamic device management system for Linux 2.6.x.
This locates and configures most hardware automatically as it is added (or removed) from the system, and creates the access nodes in /dev. It also loads the kernel modules required by sound cards and other hardware at boot time.

- New development tools, including Perl 5.8.8, Python 2.5.1, Ruby 1.8.6, Subversion 1.4.4, git-1.5.2.2, mercurial-0.9.4, graphical tools like Qt designer and KDevelop, and much more.

- Updated versions of the Slackware package management tools make it easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages.
Package tracking makes it easy to upgrade from Slackware 11.0 to Slackware 12.0 (see CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT). The slackpkg tool in /extra can also help update from an older version of Slackware to a newer one, and keep your Slackware system up to date. In addition, the slacktrack utility (in extra/) will help you build and maintain your own packages.

- Web browsers galore! Includes KDE’s Konqueror 3.5.7, SeaMonkey 1.1.2 (this is the replacement for the Mozilla
Suite), and the immensely popular Firefox 2.0.0.4, as well as the Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 email and news client with advanced junk mail filtering.

- The complete K Desktop Environment (KDE) version 3.5.7, including the KOffice productivity suite, networking tools, GUI development with KDevelop, multimedia tools (including the amazing Amarok music player), the Konqueror web browser and file manager, dozens of games and utilities, international language support, and more.

- A collection of GTK+ based applications including pidgin-2.0.2, gimp-2.2.15, gkrellm-2.2.10, gxine-0.5.11, xchat-2.8.2, xsane-0.994, and pan-0.131.

- Large repository of extra software packages compiled and ready to run. This includes various window managers, the Java(TM) 2 Software Development Kit Standard Edition, libsafe (buffer overflow protection for additional security), ISDN support, additional 802.11 drivers, and much more (see the /extra directory).

Tulisan ini saya sadur langsung dari artikel di Pikiran Rakyat tahun lalu yang ditulis oleh Prof. Dr. H. PRIYATNA ABDURRASYID, Ph.D.
Artikel ini sudah lama, tapi cukup menarik juga untuk dibaca.Apakah benar Indonesia itu adalah benua Atlantis atau bukan, saya tidak berani komentar. Tapi kalaupun benar, hebat juga yah.

Plato (427 - 347 SM) menyatakan bahwa puluhan ribu tahun lalu terjadi berbagai letusan gunung berapi secara serentak, menimbulkan gempa, pencairan es, dan banjir. Peristiwa itu mengakibatkan sebagian permukaan bumi tenggelam. Bagian itulah yang disebutnya benua yang hilang atau Atlantis.

Penelitian mutakhir yang dilakukan oleh Aryso Santos, menegaskan bahwa Atlantis itu adalah wilayah yang sekarang disebut Indonesia. Setelah melakukan penelitian selama 30 tahun, ia menghasilkan buku Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found, The Definitifve Localization of Plato’s Lost Civilization (2005). Santos menampilkan 33 perbandingan, seperti luas wilayah, cuaca, kekayaan alam, gunung berapi, dan cara bertani, yang akhirnya menyimpulkan bahwa Atlantis itu adalah Indonesia. Sistem terasisasi sawah yang khas Indonesia, menurutnya, ialah bentuk yang diadopsi oleh Candi Borobudur, Piramida di Mesir, dan bangunan kuno Aztec di Meksiko.

Love Ragnarok Online?? Then you migh love this one. Its Ragnarok Battle Offline (RBO). Its kinda beat ‘em up game, also contains some RPG elements.The player creates a character from one of six basic classes and one unlockable class, allocate points to the character’s stats and skills, and then enter one of the stages. These classes are Acolyte, Archer, Magician, Merchant, Swordsman, Thief, and Novice.

Each class has a male and female version which has slightly different attacks. Male characters tend to be stronger and more HP, while the female characters tend to have more useful supporting moves and more SP. For example, only the female Thieves have the “Ninja Rope” air dash technique compared to the males’ regular air dash, and only the female version of the Acolytes can earn the powerful “Luna Buster Lariat”.

Up to 3 people can play at once, using the keyboard or joysticks or gamepads. You can rise your char stats on game just like the Ragnarok Online.

There are eight stages in the initial release of the game. The character cannot proceed to the next level before beating the current level. The eight levels are reminiscent of Ragnarok Online. There is a secret ninth level in Prontera City which is unlocked if all eight levels have been beaten with the Novice class.

There is also 3 expansion packs. The first expansion, RBO Extra Scenario Vol. 1, was released on August 14, 2005. Scenario Vol. 1 added two new stages, an arena mode with 50 stages (10 of them are unlocked by finishing the previous 40 with each class), some character balances, and increased difficulty such as doubling boss and mini-boss damage. A second expansion, RBO Extra Scenario Vol. 2, was released on December 29, 2005. Scenario Vol. 2 added three new levels, decreased the requirements for unlocking the extra arenas from all classes to two classes, and further tweaked gameplay. The third expansion, RBO Extra Scenario Vol. 3, was released on May 21, 2006. Scenario Vol. 3 added one new level.

You can see the screenshots of the gameplay:

Now, enough for the chit-chat. Here’s the download links:

http://ragnarokbattle.filecloud.com/

There’s a bunch of RBO stuffs on that site. For Indonesian users, there’s also Patches for Indonesian Language. Download on ‘Patches’ folder, extract the file, then copy files to DATA folder on your Ragnarok Battle Offline folder. Remember to backup the original files before replace the patches.

note: when using Indonesian Patches, you might get problem loading your games. TO fix it, remove file “ETC.PAC” from Indonesian patch, then use the original “ETC.PAC” from installation.

Enjoy your game…

Its been more then 3 years since i left the Ragnarok Private Server community. And now, i still have many questions with subject “how to register??” or “Pano mag register??”..
Belive me man, i can’t help you.. and i dunno how did you find my site and why you ask that questions to me..

As far i know, from the last man i talked to, he found my site from his cd installer of Ragnarok Private Server, and he dunno how to play with it.
Yes, i used active at many private server forum, and i provide download file and so the help. But nowadays, i cant figure out how to help you with this since i dont know what kind of Server do you use.

But here, i will give you with very very tiny help..
1. First, find out what kind of Server do you use. This is the most important things to clear out your mind. Do not pass to next step if you still don’t know the Server name. If you bought the CD, ask the CD seller. Find any way to figure out what server it is.
2. Usually, the Private server always provide the how-to to play this. Search and find the README files…!!
3. Still stuck??? ask Uncle GOOGLE, its usefull..
4. Find the forum with related to the server. Read all the threads on the Forum. Remember!!! DO NOT REGISTER FOR ASKING ONLY.. You have to read all the forum, find the threads with the same problems. When you sure there’s no threads with the same topic with your problem then you may post your questions. Other, you’ll get ignored.. or the worst, you’ll get banned!!
Make sure you provide complete data for asking. The questions like “How to register??” or “How to make server” will got no responses..

This forum is useful for gathering information about your problem.
