I like to pretend that this doesn’t happen on my GNU/Linux box, but it does. Every now and again, an application locks up and it won’t close for me.
The good news is that GNU/Linux handles this stuff pretty well and it’s a trivial […]
I’m a short-lived eye-candy type of guy. By that I mean that I love suiting up my desktop with gDesklet sensors, Superkaramba widgets, flashy wallpaper, and whatever else I can get my hands on. But only for a few days. Sooner or later […]
A computer running GNU/Linux generally has a few different partitions on it (not including any Windows or other OS dual boot scenarios). There’s usually a small Master Boot Record (MBR) partition which houses your boot loader (usually GRUB or Lilo); a system partition […]
I was at a Calgary Linux User Group installfest once and I showed an interest in Suse (9.3 at the time). In true community style, one of the people there immediately began burning a copy of the DVD for me.
The thing that I […]
I just received an email from a GNU/Linux user show listener who has pointed me to something veeeeery interesting.
When speaking of installing applications on a GNU/Linux box, I frequently lament that installing from a source tarball using the configure/make/make install process is a double-edged sword. On one hand you generally get a nice compact binary […]
Well the holidays are here and I have officially banned myself from blogging. Kelly is incredulous that I can go two days without blogging, but I’m really going to try. The good news is that I have a new Motorola V710 cell phone […]

The Linux Gazette has a great article on the three most common ways to deal with this situation. It’s important to note that there’s no way to actually recover the password, but you can […]
I’ve already written about using the uname -r command to get kernel version information, but there’s a few other neato little commands that you can use at the terminal window.
Note: the ticks around the uname commands are the backticks on the key (typically located beside the 1 key on a US keyboard). They are not […]
With 4 blogs on the go, I could really make use of a good, multiple-blog capable, blog client. Unfortunately, I’ve had no luck finding a suitable one for my system until now.
I’ve tried LogJam, Drivel, the Gnome Blog tool (whatever that’s called), a […]
“HURD” is an indirectly recursive acronym, standing for “HIRD of Unix-Replacing Daemons”, where “HIRD” stands for “HURD of Interfaces Representing Depth”. (Wikipedia)
What more do you need to know?
OK, ok. Stop slapping me.
I’m sure that the developers of the world will cringe at this, but I always think of the HURD as the GNU operating system […]
