If you have some friends that like these kinds of art, and would like to introduce linux to them, why not give them a manga-styled comic that teaches them linux?
One of those very short postings. I created a metapackage rpm for the Open Office 3.2.0 suite in aLinux and passed it through the contribs section of aLinux.
Should have Open Office in aLinux soon enough.
Update: Ok, it’s now in the contribs directory in the aLinux site (ibiblio): http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/peanut/contribs/RPMS/COMMUNITY/Clint/
Funny, I see my last rpm contributions [...]
Ok, ok… you might wonder, what’s a blog post about William Shatner making a social network doing here?
See the tag line of my site? “Open Source, Operating Systems, Offtopic Stuff!”. This definitely counts as “Offtopic Stuff!”. And I’m a big Star Trek fan – well, TOS and NG, as well as some [...]
I received a question from an email on how to create your own yum repository.
I am basing it on Moblin/Meego, but should mostly work on Fedora/RedHat too.
I am assuming that you have already installed the development tools of Moblin in your installed Moblin distribution by using this command:
sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
To start, we install [...]
Another one of those very very short posts. If you have moblin installed on your netbook, and want to develop rpms on it, you can type in this command:
sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
It should install all tools necessary for basic Moblin development. Ciao.
Don’t ever let yourself be put down because other people say it can’t be done.
This is a simple story of how leveraging open source technologies can bring you to heights and depths you thought you could never reach.
Another short post.
I added some forums to my blog. Nothing much – if you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to talk away, feel free to do so.
From a comment in one of my blog articles, WINE 1.1.40 is now available on the official aLinux rpm repository. Please update your aLinux 12.9 through synaptic now!
For those who don’t know what Gambas is, it is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions. I call it like VB on linux. You can make GUI programs in Qt or GTK+ and save your compiled application in RPM format.
I’ve been experimenting with linux since mid to late 1990s and started with single 3.5 linux disks. I remember fondly downloading for over an hour using dialup trilinux and monkeylinux and experimenting with the command line on such curiousities for hours on end.
