We are having a release party on Saturday the 14th of April. We meet at mid-day under the clocks at Flinders Street Station and then go somewhere convenient and not too expensive for lunch. All welcome. Update: The event was moderately successful. There were only six people including me – that was quite a bit […] Ingo Juergensmann has blogged in detail about the new release and the new DPL. Sam Hocevar ran for DPL on a platform based on some significant new changes. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next year. The release of Etch is an exciting milestone in Debian development. Among other things it […] I have seen buses used for tours that contain bunk beds. If one or more such buses were hired then a group of Linux people could go on a moving Linux conference. This would have to take place in an area with many reasonable size cities in a close area and where there is a […] Debian is participating in the Google Summer Of Code (or Winter if you are in the southern hemisphere). It would be good if we could get a SE Linux related project in. If you are interested in doing some SE Linux work (or other security related work) in this regard then please let me know. […] Erich Schubert comments on the issues relating to getting big changes into Debian. This is something that I had also noticed. I started work on SE Linux in Debian in 2001 and continued it actively until 2003 when I joined Red Hat. Less than a year after I joined Red Hat there was a Fedora […] According to Debian bug #399113 and linked discussion it is impossible to run a stable system on Xen without enabling PAE. It seems that no-one is considering the fact that a hypervisor that runs on both 32bit and 64bit architectures should be able to support 32bit systems with <4G of RAM (IE not using the […] It appears that some people don’t understand what right-wing means in terms of politics, apart from using it as a general term of abuse. I recommend visiting the site http://www.politicalcompass.org/ to see your own political beliefs (as determined by a short questionnaire) graphed against some famous people. The unique aspect of the Political Compass is […] The Debian project is afflicted with several damaging memes. One that is causing problems at the moment is the idea that life should be fair. Unfortunately life is inherently unfair, it’s not fair that those of us who were born in first-world countries (the majority of Debian developers) have so many more opportunities than most […] A few days ago I installed Debian/Etch on my Thinkpad. One of the reasons for converting from Fedora to Debian is that I need to run Xen and Fedora doesn’t support non-PAE machines with Xen. Ironically it’s hardware supplied to me by Red Hat (Thinkpad T41p) that is lacks PAE support and forces me to […] |
