In my unabashed geek glee in seeing my first post from my new laptop appear on the interweb, I neglected to provide linkage to all the items that make up this cool little laptop. So, here goes:
The hardware: Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527.
The OS: Fedora 7. 1
The wireless drivers for the on-board Atheros wireless: MadWiFi. [...]
As we move more into clustered systems at work, I went trolling for cluster tools the other day. Or more precisely, went back to one of my del.icio.us bookmarks, and downloaded ClusterSSH.
This is a perl script which requires the Tk and X11::Protocol perl modules. After installation, you type:
cssh [user@]<host> [user@]<host> …
and [...]
I’m still no great shakes as a Ruby coder, but I’m continually amazed at how much can be accomplished with a very few lines of code.
As an example, I mentioned that I’ve been buiding a lot of Solaris packages and Linux binary RPMS lately. One thing I miss on Linux is [...]
Well, my sed woes are over, and I’m not going crazy, at least because of that. As I detailed yesterday, I had a seemingly incorrect script, that apparently though unaccountably, did the right thing.
After further review, I discovered the application being packaged rewrites the file upon startup and shutdown. Apparently, the inputs to [...]
I’ve been converting some third-party software to Solaris packages(so you can use pkgadd) and Linux RPMS over the last few days. It’s the typical drill; install with the vendor’s install software, bundle up the resulting files, and surround with judiciously-crafted scripts to perform configuration. Then test, test, test.
As part of a postinstall [...]
Interventions of vacation, life, and “other priorities as assigned”, temporarily de-railed my Ruby efforts. I’ve been getting back on track for the last couple of days, and the hiatus was actually beneficial. I figured out some new ways to structure my program to greatly enhance its maintainability and more importantly its extensibility. [...]
Not Veritas, as in Truth. I’d like to think that truth is dispensed daily, and freely, on this ‘ol blog. I refer rather to Veritas Storage Foundation Basic, now available as a free download. It is limited to 4 volumes, and 4 mounted vxfs filesystems. It is also constrained to run [...]
After all these years being a Linux dabbler, I’m downloading the Fedora 5.0 isos as I type this. Credit cheap reliable broadband, and the desire of this old dog to learn some new tricks.
