If you have not already read about this then let me be the first to tell you…
Next summer there is going to be a “Southeast Linux Fest” next summer and plans are getting underway now. If you’re not involved, signed up, planning to go, planning to present, or somehow get involved then you need to visit the site now and get signed up!
In future releases, Gentoo will focus on a more back-to-basics approach that will give you up-to-date install media on a regular basis and make much better use of our human resources. We’re looking into automated weekly builds of the minimal CDs and stage tarballs as well as maybe an annual LiveCD release. We will keep you updated as we decide on the details of this new approach.
Consequently, we’re canceling the 2008.1 release. The release engineering team has to reconsider its priorities—we overstretched our human resources during the prolonged 2008.0 release process. This caused too much stress for our release engineers and multiple postponements of the release.
I have just upgraded the site to WordPress 2.6. Please post a comment if you run across any bugs.
If you haven’t see the notes, I have had problems with the permalinks too… I had to implement a hack to make it work.
There are many times when it is useful to be able to repeatedly run a command, or set of commands, repeatedly. You could do this yourself with a simple shell script, but using watch makes it simple.In brief watch is a command which will repeatedly run a command for you - allowing you to watch updates in near real-time.The most basic example of using it would be to run this:
skx@teldra:~$ watch uptime
Tonight I ran across this article that is the final straw. I am SOOOO tired of the “Vista is a failure” messages.
When are people going to realize that Microsoft IS NOT going to stop promoting Vista and that XP (no matter what service pack) is NOT the future for Microsoft NOR the future for MS’s competition for Linux Desktop. People that are on XP will be forced to upgrade over time to Vista (or whatever the next version of Windows … and that version will indeed be based on Vista).
If you use XP, you’re gonna upgrade, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and very soon. Vista, no matter how slow the adoption, is not a failure. It is a defacto win. Get OVER IT already.
