News Flash: Linux Kernel 3.0 to include an on-the-go Expresso machine interface! Ok, maybe not, but Linux is definitely going mobile, from phones to e-readers. Find out more inside about Android, the Kindle 2, the Western Digital MyBook II, The Bug, and Indamixx (a portable recording studio). And if you've gone mobile and you been wanting more Emacs in your life then check out Conkeror.
To compliment the mobile we've got the stationary: parsing command line options with getopt, checking your Ruby code with metric_fu, and building a secure Squid proxy. How is this stationary you ask? What can we say? It's not. We just wanted to see if anybody actually read this part of the page :) .
All this and more, and all you have to do is get your hot sweaty hands on the latest copy of Linux Journal.

SIP-Communicator and Twinkle
On December 5th, 2008 Werner (not verified) says:
Thanks for looking at these two clients :-)
As for SIP Communicator: just currently we are working to stabilize it and make
it ready for a version 1, a release candiate (RC1) is in the pipeline. Just
recently we added some better ZRTP GUI stuff and handling, also video is under
testing. Also planned is a demonstration at FOSDEM 2009.
The problem with the firewall may be due to the fact that zfoned reconfigures
the firewall to sniff on the UDP ports (this is why ip_queue is required). Zfoned
add rules to the firewall when it starts and removes them when it terminates. You
may check this by listing your active rules when zfoned is up and running.
I'm really looking forward

I'm really looking forward to an official release of SIP Communicator. A working cross platform alternative to skype with encryption will undoubtedly cut the number of hours I spend troubleshooting nonfunctional sip communications in half:-) When version 1 comes out I'll give it a much more thorough look. It's great that SIP Communicator is closing the gap on one of the few areas that proprietary software still maintains an edge.
