Kristian Høgsberg recently mention that razor has a home. Nice to see that someone is finally taking the time to invest in something to update yum and rpm. Like rpm or not, it’s still a technology that are at the heart of many major Linux distributions and probably deserve the same kinds of [...]
I lost power last night and I finally decided it was time to buy a UPS. I’ve never actually owned one.
I go out to the store this morning and buy one, bring it home, plug it in and I decide to try and figure out what kinds of loads various things sitting on my [...]
Hey, this is awesome stuff. Nice job, Greg! It’s going to be a great fit. The Seneca guys are fantastic.
Almost every single Firefox user on Linux gets their builds directly from the various distributions. Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, Debian (down-branded), Novell, Foresight, etc. And in those cases users generally have a pretty good experience. But that’s not always the case.
I’ve always seen this position as both good and bad. It’s [...]
Great news that Dennis Gilmore will be joining the OLPC team to help them out with builds. He will be a real asset to the team. His experience with the infrastructure inside of Fedora will really help with the OLPC team and various countries take advantage of everything that Fedora and that community [...]
Today is my last day working at Red Hat. I’ve been there for nearly nine years – most of my adult life – and I have a lot of fond memories. In some ways I would say that Red Hat and I grew up together. Working in three cities: Raleigh, Toronto and [...]
Back at the Red Hat Summit, Henri Richard said that AMD (and the former ATI) were going to come up with a plan to better support open source. Today we see the results of that promise and I have to say I’m incredibly impressed with the commitment that they have decided to make. [...]
Demitris Glezos has been doing some awesome work on the new Fedora Translation site. Unlike a lot of translation projects, where the focus has been on improving that one project (KDE, GNOME, Ubuntu, whatever) his approach has been different. In addition to supporting the packages which have lived with Red Hat + Fedora [...]
I’m so glad that Richard Hughes took the lead on getting the system activation code in place and is trying to get it upstream into D-Bus. I think that David Zeuthen was starting to avoid me in the office. Every time I would see him I would just look at him and say [...]
As Max points out, someone composed a complete set of Fedora 7 CDs: 11 in total. Our last release, Fedora Core 6 only included 5 CDs. So that gives you a sense of the number of packages that have been grown and maintained by the community. Also what’s interesting to me [...]
