Happy New Year! Yet another year passes in the shell world
and what an interesting year it was. I am just happy to still be here
bringing you news and other dirt on the various communities. Lets
try and make this new millennium (yes this is the REAL new millennium)

- History Of Disto’s ~ _why (9:57 27.12 ls)
_why of LSD4P has posted up a History of Distro’s. In it he
not only goes over what distro’s have appeared in the past,
but how they have affected us now. Also, there is some very
good and serious talk about the problems with theme
standardization. This is worth your time to read if for no
other reason then to learn a little LiteStep history.

- grdAmp 1.09 ~ grd (14:29 26.12 ls)
grdAmp is an input/output module that utilized the winamp
input/output modules for playing mp3′s.
New in this version:
- Finally constructed a workaround for the problems when the
volume jumped as soon as a new track started. This is
experimental and therefore only works with output-plugins
that output information to the standard wave-out and also
it has not yet been applied to the panning.
- Altered the classname of the grdamp main window from
“grdamp wndcls” to “grdampclass”, this means that if you
had LSXCommand (or anything else) reading from grdamp
before, you’ll have to change your settings… =/ This was
done to go in the lines with the modified version of jamp
that is included in this release.
- Includes a modified version of jamp (that ONLY works with
grdamp)

- geekamp 1.9c ~ azathoth (29.12 16:54 ls)
This is a frontend for winamp. You can control just about
all aspects of winamp via bang commands and use shortcuts
to make your own winamp control center.
New in this version:
- Fixed bug in !amp_fileinfo.
- Fixed numerous bugs and problems (all dialogs should appear
on top now).
- Add Bang Command !Amp_LoadEQPreset.
- Problems: People have been reporting about geekamp not
working from shortcuts. This is very strange. I have no
answer as yet, if geekamp doesn’t work for you, please try
older builds until you find a build that works, then please
write to me about it so i can fix it. Thanks.

and veterans looking for a quick and easy way to configure
modules. There are 2 modes.
“1. The default: allows the printout of the comments of the

and default value info.

- SEAL To Be Sold? ~ Bad Sector (11:19 27.12 sel)
Seems as if the original creator of SEAL has a startup
company and has been working on an OS with offshoots from
SEAL. The problem with this is that SEAL is GPL but he
will be using some of the SEAL source in this new, pay for,
OS. Check out this thread for more info:
