    HOWTO: Install Ubuntu under /compat/linux

    This howto describes how to install Ubuntu 10.04 under /compat/linux. The goal is to get libreoffice working. But other stuff, like firefox will work to. You will need 700MB of free disk space for the iso image and at least 2.2GB for the /compat/linux directory. Some familiarity with a .deb...

    Concurrent execution of rc-scripts with rcorder(8)

    I updated the README with some numbers, detailing the influence on booting time. There aren't enough numbers to give general advice but if one wanted to give one, it would be that, basically, if you start some additional services via your rc.conf and your cpu has more than one core, you...

    Concurrent execution of rc-scripts with rcorder(8)

    Did so today. One brave soul already gave it a shoot and reported a speedup in booting time of about 15% (that is in the ballpark of what I'm seeing, roughly 15% - 20%). Also found a small bug today that caused too many scripts to be run.

    Concurrent execution of rc-scripts with rcorder(8)

    Hello, the idea to start services concurrently during boot isn't new and the question why FreeBSD doesn't do it has popped up on the forum and mailing list occasionally. So, why not give it a shot? rcorder(8) is normally used during boot to bring the rc-scripts into a particular order, so...

    BSD licensed C, C++ and Fortran compiler released.

    Didn't get that error. If it helps, I build from bcb4f5366a5414b12f74fc136cf43e74c1162b10 and ran cmake like this: #!/bin/sh GCCP=/usr/lib cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \ -DPATH64_ENABLE_TARGETS="x86_64" \ -DPATH64_ENABLE_MATHLIBS=ON \...

    BSD licensed C, C++ and Fortran compiler released.

    Had trouble finding that, too. The COPYING file in the compiler soure states: The debugger doesn't have a LICENSE ore COPYING file, though. Oh, and the source code can be found here: https://github.com/path64 (and, for what it's worth, the compiler builds fine and produces running binaries...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    From my limited experience, Ubuntu is such a nightmare in a server environment. Anyone who used Ubuntu (or Debian, there isn't really a big difference, is there) probably knows what I mean. Outdated packages. With Ubuntu you end up with "importing" one or the other "ppa" from launchpad (most...

    auto mounting in Openbox

    Inspired by this, I wrote a PyQt based program that does roughly the same. It adds an icon to the system tray, notifies you when a device becomes available and has a context menu to mount / unmount devices. It will only let you mount devices it knows about. An config entry look like...

    elimount - easy mount encrypted, file-backed filesystems

    Hello, i wrote a small shell script to "manage" file-backed encrypted filesystems. At the moment it actually doesn't manage that much but it saves a lot of typing. I have one problem though i can't find a solution for. In the create_img functions, if "geli init" is being executed and i...
