Yard fury over Bush visit
By Patrick Sawer, Evening Standard

White House security demands covering President George Bush's controversial
state visit to Britain have provoked a serious row with Scotland Yard.

American officials want a virtual three-day shutdown of central London in a
bid to foil disruption of the visit by anti-war protestors. They are
demanding that police ban all marches and seal off the city centre.

But senior Yard officers say the powers requested by US security chiefs
would be unprecedented on British soil. While the Met wants to prevent
violence, it is sensitive to accusations of trying to curtail legitimate
protest.

Is Capital taking over Linux?

The latest version of Red Hat Linux will be out this week and it will be
called Fedora 1 not Red Hat 10, also SuSE Linux has just been bought by
Novell and this has been bankrolled by IBM. What is happening here and what
does it mean for the world's most popular versions of the free GNU/Linux
computer operating system?
