Fedora 13: Rock It!
===========================================Benjamin Franklin
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.Henry David Thoreau
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

From the Changelog
I previously documented my first, and thus far only, patch I submitted to Fedora. It was trivial; I’m not up for any awards or anything. But it was a good feeling, and I hope I can contribute some more substantive … Continue reading
A Patch in Time
I just got word that a patch I submitted will be included in Fedora 12. OK, so the problem was a simple typo in system-config-kickstart, which caused it to crash when invoked with the –generate option. Something a junior high … Continue reading
Back from a post Constantine upgrade reboot. Network Manager applet problems … gone! Sound playing problems persist; I could head to some Fedora Forum and bitch up a storm to the effect that “#@%!@ sound don’t work!”, but since I … Continue reading
Upgrade x2, 2 Days Late
Last Tuesday, Constantine, the Fedora 12 Beta, was released. I make it a point to upgrade sooner rather than later. And, thanks to Fedora’s preupgrade, followed by 1.1G of downloads, and what seemed to be interminable disk-thrashing, the upgrade finished, … Continue reading
Another High-calibre Saturday
calibre, an e-book reader’s best companion, has been upgraded to v. 0.6.5. In keeping with my history of tips and tricks for installing calibre on Fedora, I offer the following, based on the install I just completed. I’m running Fedora … Continue reading
Presto! It’s Fedora!
One of the many enhancements in Fedora 11 is delta RPMs. Delta RPMs are updates that contain only the updated files, rather than all files in the original RPM. This saves download time; nice if you’re updating over a slow … Continue reading
Amazon RPM Downloader on 64-bit Fedora
Commenter Chris points out that my previous instructions assumed a 32-bit version of Fedora. And he is correct; the Amazon MP3 downloader is a 32-bit application. I see no reason it shouldn’t work on a 64-bit OS, provided the 32 … Continue reading
Amazon MP3 Downloader on Fedora 11
Amazon was less than understanding about my request for source code for their MP3 downloader. They were prompt and courteous in their response; that alone is rare. They don’t release source, and gosh, why don’t I use a Fedora release … Continue reading
If it’s Saturday, I’m installing calibre
calibre 0.5.11 now runs strong and tall on my Linux laptop. I wonder how much I’ll really need to reformat personal content after the Kindle DX is on-board. I think the DX is going to handle my PDF manuals just … Continue reading
Please, Amazon!
I saw this FriendFeed post from Dave earlier, and his post about The Band. I always liked The Band; even though the $1.99 Amazon special on the greatest hits album that Dave references appears to have expired, I thought this … Continue reading
