Fujitsu releases its first Linux App 16
Jean-Paul Smets wrote in to tell us that
Fujistu has released
its first Linux software:
AVS5 is a
visualization and computer graphics program that includes
advanced features such as volume rendering. Apparently
Fujitsu has a
strong Linux tradition, with
Linux already running on its AP1000/AP3000 series of parallel computers.
Update: 02/25 11:22 by S : Can someone who reads Japanese confirm this story
because...

I notified /. of AVS-5.4 for Linux back in spetember. Also, you might note that AVS is produced by
Advanced Visual Systems in
Waltham MA, not Fujitsu. See
this freshmeat app index entry."
So: do we have a mix up, or 2 pieces of software with the same name?

and run directly on Linux. It outputs OpenGL and takes about any data type you want to input. Yes it's expensive... that's because it's commercial software.

This is one of many news articles I keep running into more and more frequently. I personally have converted two people to Linux at work ( unnamed MS partner ) and I keep grinning ear to ear.
Now for the MP3 bit. There was an article about a band putting an MP3 up not sure what would happen etc. Well, my band has done it too. The MP3 is at:

Slashdot me please!
We are at like 938 or something...
It don't work quite as well as the other band said it did.
Then again we might just suck......

japanese translation (sorta) (Score:1)
There are two personal pages linked. The Japanese sections are just translations of the other sections that are in English.
On the announcement page, there's not really much information. I picked out the following details:
licence is for a single user (458000 yen)
requires X and Mesa 3D drivers: no native
graphics support
Redhat 4.2 won't work. You need to upgrade
to 5.0 or higher.
Hope this helps,
