OpenSuse 11
To all my OpenSuse friends:
In the past, I’ve made fun of your distro while you where not around.
I’ve poked fun at your package management.
I’ve installed over OpenSuse with other distros.
I’ve blown away partitions reserved for OpenSuse.
I’ve ignored your releases.
But today, that all changes. Today, I give it a fair shake.
I’ll let you know what [...]
Thoughts about Conary, Red Hat, Debain, distros and eating utensils.
I’ve been checking out rPath and Conary. I know rPath has ties to Red Hat, but let’s forget that for now. The technology is very, very cool. From what I can tell, it has serious advantages over rpm and yum|apt|up2date combo.
Besides local package management, it makes it easy to fork the distro. [...]
An Asterisk GUI and a Distro too!
The new version of Asterisk (1.4) is getting a GUI. I’ve known that for a while. I didn’t know, however, that Digium has wrapped the whole thing up as a Distro based on what looks like Fedora Core or RHEL.
From the announcement:
Asterisk® can now be easily configured with a graphical interface. The new site, AsteriskNOW.org, [...]
Adding the Tasty Tango Touch
I really liked the “unified look” of the bluecurve icon set – 40 years ago, when it was introduced. I now prefer the crisp and clean look of Tango. Why doesn’t Fedora Core ship with it as an option? It doesn’t need to be the default, just an option. Oh well, [...]
Xen Networking
Here’s my first take on a Xen network that I’m putting together for work.
This all takes place in one physical box with 2 physical network interfaces. I’m still not sure this is path we’ll take, but it’s a start. Also, it might have been less complex if I did routing and NATing in [...]
FC6 – First impressions
I’ve installed what I’m pretty sure will be the final version of FC6 (I checked the SHA1SUMs from a listing at an official mirror). Here are my first impressions:
Mono seems to be totally jacked:
[gabe@office ~]$ tomboy
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ mono -V
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ mcs
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ sqlsharp
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ gmcs
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ echo “Segmentation fault”
Segmentation [...]
Mailing list archive fun
Reading this made me feel better about my goals that can seem a little ambitious at times:
My objective is to Re-master Fedora Core 5 into a single CD…. am pretty much new to Linux… I have about a weeks time to accomplish this…
Good luck my newbie brother. The command line is your friend. [...]
Bumps ahead
The humble server that I use to host a few (11) web sites is getting updated. It’s not going to be that big of a deal (99% idle instead of 97% idle).
The big deal will be the addition of Xen, LVM and RAID. I’m thinking about setting up a small domU that will [...]
Beagle Filesystem
I generally don’t do a “cut and paste” blog from other people’s blogs, but this is *really* cool.
And I will not arrive empty handed. Of late I have been playing with FUSE. For the kids, I wrote beaglefs:
$ ./beaglefs joey ./query
$ ls ./query 14-38-39.jpg [...]
OpenBrainstem Mailman Configuration Fixed
I post this on my blog cause Peregrine doesn’t take comments unless I’m “logged on” and I had it all typed up.
1) I thought you got the wordpress/https/smiley bug fixed. :)
2) I think there is a better way to do this mailman setup…
a) Alias with Mailman:
################
The output of /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases depends on the value of [...]
