AsterisksNOW
Install Asterisk and start building custom telephony applications with AsteriskNOW. AsteriskNOW makes it easy to create custom telephony solutions by automatically installing the “plumbing.” It’s a complete Linux distribution with Asterisk, the DAHDI driver framework, and, the FreePBX administrative GUI. Much of the complexity of Asterisk and Linux is handled by the installer, the yum package management utility and the administrative GUI. With AsteriskNOW, application developers and integrators can concentrate on building solutions, not maintaining the plumbing.

Runs Linux
My gym runs linux!
I was working out this morning, and the IT guy was messing with the exercise bike next to me. I noticed the CentOs boot screen, and when I inquired further, I found out that all the equipment uses linux! Looks like our penguin buddy is trying to work off those holiday pounds.
Desktop App Pick
netboot.xyz
netboot.xyz is a way to select various operating system installers or utilities from one place within the BIOS without the need of having to go retrieve the media to run the tool. iPXE is used to provide a user friendly menu from within the BIOS that lets you easily choose the OS you want along with any specific types of versions or bootable flags.
You can remote attach the ISO to servers, set it up as a rescue option in Grub, or even set up your home network to boot to it by default so that it’s always available.
netboot.xyz – never flash a thumb drive again!
Weekly Spotlight
Open-AudIT – The network inventory, audit, documentation and management tool.
Open-AudIT is an application to tell you exactly what is on your network, how it is configured and when it changes.

Bug that can leak crypto keys just fixed in widely used OpenSSH
The vulnerability resides only in the version end users use to connect to servers and not in versions used by servers. A maliciously configured server could exploit it to obtain the contents of the connecting computer’s memory, including the private encryption key used for SSH connections. The bug is the result of code that enables an experimental roaming feature in OpenSSH versions 5.4 to 7.1
Gnome Settings design update
A major feature of the latest settings designs is a rethink of the GNOME Settings “shell” (that is, the overall framework of the settings application). We want to move from the current model, that uses an icon grid and fixed window size, to one that uses a list sidebar for navigation, and has a resizeable window.
Steam Link SDK AKA Steam Link Native Apps
We have released an SDK for native application development!
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamlink-sdk
- The Steam Link hardware is a single core ARMv7 processor using the hard-float ABI, running at 1 GHz, with neon instruction support.
- Approximately 256 MB of available RAM.
- 500 MB of usable flash storage.
- Custom Linux firmware based on kernel 3.8
- glibc 2.19.
New Ubuntu Convergence Device Will Be Demoed Next Month
