Due to some reasons, I need to migrate to a new server. I am in the process of restoring the existing contents in the new server. I hope this would be over by this weekend. Till then no more new posts. Also some of the comments after this point may be lost. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Most of us know that Hydrogen is difficult to produce and store. The most common way of producing Hydrogen was from water. A new startup is venturing a new way of producing Hydrogen with more efficiency!
The traditional way of installing the software on *NIX is from source. To install any software, you should download the sources, compile them and install them. But with the introduction of the package management systems from different Linux and other UNIX variant distributors, the source install method is almost deprecated. But still, there are some softwares that are not available in the packaged form (like rpm, deb, gz, etc.). They are available only as source tar balls. Maintaining the source installation is always a pain and you can’t keep track of it as powerfuly as the packaging systems. GNU Source Installer is out here for solving all these problems.
My freaking harddisk which had Linux crashed again. Yesterday, I got a replacement for that one. I had to install Linux back again. After a long thought of choice between Debian and Ubuntu, I have decided to go for Ubuntu. I installed Hoary from CD and upgraded to Breezy. I am not sure if it is right to go for breezy so early. Well, will have some fireworks on the system!
Slashdot talks about Guitar playing robots! No wonder that there is nothing impossible before science. Just write the notes and throw it to your robot to play it on Guitar.
The service manager tool is mostly a distro specific tool. We have one common tool in KDE. Gnome lacked one. I always preferred doing it manually. It seems that the problem is now solved and there is a distro independant service manager tool for Gnome. Ubuntu’s Breezy pulled in this application. Read more about this at Jorge Castro’s blog.
Atlast the European Parliment rejected a law for patents on software with a huge majority of 648 - 14! (18 didn’t turn up for voting or didn’t vote; absentees here too?!) A wonderful victory for all the people who where fighting against the software patents. The very first news that I read today and this makes me more than happy! Read more about it at GrokLaw.
I have come across a post in Allavandhan style at Planet Ubuntu. A nice one though!
Here is yet another Linux distribution. OpenLX! This time from India. Should wait and see if it suceeds!
