BRL-CAD now has a working version of Archer, user-friendly interface to mged.
viewvc 1.1.10 fixes some bugs.
The new packages can be found on my site.
LibreOffice 3.3.2 has been released officially and I prepared the usual packages for Slackware 32- & 64 bits.
I put them in my Slackware 13.37 repository, but they should work just as fine on Slackware 13.1, as these are repackaged from the original binaries built by the Document Foundation.

Windows XP and newer versions have the standard feature of “sharing” access to the desktop from remote computers. This is very easy to set up and no extra software is required on the computer that is sharing or the one that is accessing the desktop – as long as they are both running Windows…
