Am $ORKPLACE wurde ein Lenovo Tablet X61 angeschafft. In einem Workshop habe ich Zeit gehabt, mir das vorinstallierte Windows Vista mit Zubehör näher anzusehen. Mir fehlen die Worte… Wieso rutschen Lenovo solche Sachen durch die Qualitätskontrolle? es ist ein Windows Vista Basic-Sticker aufgeklebt, aber es wird Windows Vista Business ausgeliefert es gibt eine “Display-Beleuchtung-Taste” auf […]

Eine große, österreichische Firma (nein, Namen nenne ich nicht) kann Server zu meiner Überraschung auch mit Debian vorinstalliert ausliefern (der Klassiker ist dort nämlich eigentlich wie so oft RedHat). Die Basisinstallation für die in diesem Fall eingesetzten HP ProLiant DL360 G5-Server sieht auf den ersten Blick auch ganz OK aus. Es ist sogar ein Debian/Etch, […]

[Gnaaaaa, sorry Planet Debian for sending a german article to you a few hours ago. I just chose the wrong category for the article. I removed the tag already and the article disappeared from Planet Debian right now; so if you don’t know what I’m talking about just don’t care. ;-) To the german readers: […]

grml-live ist ein Framework, mit dessen Hilfe man mit nur 1 Kommando eine auf grml/Debian basierende Linux Live-CD bauen kann. grml-live baut auf FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) auf und nutzt dessen klassenbasiertes Konzept: In diesem Beispiel habe ich gerade ein großes grml-ISO gebaut. Dabei habe ich einfach nur den Debian-Mirror in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf auf meinen lokalen […]

I was working on the integration of live-initramfs for grml in the last few days. As the Debian maintainers of live-initramfs switched from svn to git and I contributed several patches I had to deal with git as well. Thanks to my personal VCS hero gebi I learned some cute tricks for working with git. […]

The power fail at home in Graz some weeks ago was a good chance to continue with migration of my setup. So far my main working system was a gateway/server system at home, but as soon as I’m not at home anymore (like sitting at a much more rocking place) murphy hits me and I […]

No, that’s not a joke. Today I had to (hard-)reboot one of my servers because the console newsreader slrn produced such a high load on the system that it was everything but responsive as a consequence. Huh. What? Yes, right. It was the fault of slrn. I had not set up any default limits on […]

As I wrote a few monce ago I’m owner of a NSLU2 device powered by Debian. Now I had to install another device (using di-nslu2-etch-4.0r0.bin – md5: db8e8ec3571aff8fb2132479f860f16b this time) and I wanted to change the setup from using /dev/sda2 to a UUID based one – to get a stable root device. Nothing really tricky […]

Since about two days I’m proud owner of a Lenovo X61s notebook. It will become my main and new developer box for grml, featuring all that nifty stuff like 64bit support, hardware virtualization and so on… I managed to use all the important features with a very current version of grml. I’m using kernel 2.6.22-grml […]

I’m using ejabberd, a free and open source instant messaging server written in Erlang. Reference system: Debian etch (current stable), ejabberd version 1.1.2-6, installed via a simple: # aptitude install ejabberd […]
