Linux Permissions Headache

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Yikes, what an evening….. it started innocently enough in the afternoon. I have an old Mandrake 10.0 server that I was upgrading clamav on (recent security update).

Software raid under linux (Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake)

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

First, I should disclaim that this is going to be a brain dump of the resources and experience of a quick setup of Ubuntu 6.06 on a software raid based storage system. This may be less than ideal, but is doable and seems relatively solid as a system. First off, what is RAID [...]

Wget user agent avoidance

Now we know what’s taking Crossover Office 6 so long…

I just read that Codeweavers has managed to get World of Warcraft working in Crossover Office in their development builds it should be possible. Of course, it’s been possible for some time to run it via Transgaming’s Cedaga. But codeweavers seems to be working on it in their Crossover product as well and [...]
