Just linking to a page where is explained how you can test the latest Ubuntu builds in a virtualmachine like VirtualBox. This means you won’t have to screw up any of your systems and won’t be left with a buggy OS..
Keep an eye on this site btw, they have some nice articles!

As some of you might have noticed there’s been a lot of hype around the new Software Center that will come with Ubuntu Lucid. People seem very enthusiastic about it and for GUI jockeys it is a major step forward (I guess). Personally, however, I never use a GUI to install my software and only More >

There are many things Chuck Norris can do, but I didn’t expect him to be 1337 h@x0r as well! Turns out Chuck Norris can gain entry to your router if you haven’t changed the password to something else than the default (let me guess: admin?). I would have expected him to try and threaten your More >

I’ve been working on a little project to view photos and videos from a mobile browser using Zend Framework. I’ve gotten so far as to generate a little gallery with real-time thumbnailing and pagination which shows the image at (once again real-time resized) a resolution commonly used by mobiles. Now the next step is being More >

I’ve been living with this problem for quite some time now and today I had some time left over at work so I figured I’d have a look into it again. I’ve tried a few different settings from the Ubuntu wiki but they always resulted in the same tinny sound.

So I’ve been running Sidux for a few days now. It started off wonderfully: my homeserver felt snappier than ever before running bog standard Ubuntu. However, after having installed my usualy Apache and MySQL for testing some development things at home the machine has been crashing at random times. Usually when I’m not home. This More >

I recently messed around with Karmic trying to get the newest nVidia drivers installed. However, this broke TV-Out on my system and I decided to then take the step and move to Sidux considering they had the latest drivers in the repo’s instead of having to do the binary install from downloaded drivers.

It took me a while to find the right command for this so I decided to add it to the blog to save it for a later date
echo -n ‘the_password’ | md5sum -
Very simple yet does exactly what I want. I’m still surprised this isn’t a standard function in Linux since md5sum exists More >

A few years back I started messing around with another OS than Windows. I looked for one with lots of documentation and a strong passion for open-source software. After having looked at many Linux distro’s I actually decided on using FreeBSD 4. Their handbook was by far the easiest method of finding good documentation about More >

I just noticed on one of my favorite techy news sites (www.tweakers.net – hulde!) that TeamSpeak 3 has FINALLY been released. Considering this baby has been in development for 5 years I’m quite excited about it’s release. From a front-end point of view not too much has changed, but underneath the hood the changes should More >
