Policy for Handling Flags in Fedora
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday May 19, 2009
When a package contains flag images that are used (in the user interface, in documentation, etc.) to represent locations, countries, nations, other kinds of geopolitical entities, languages, other kinds of ethnocultural concepts, religions, political movements and institutions, and the like, and where such use is not technically or substantively essential to the package, those flag images must be placed in an -flags subpackage.

OpenOffice.org: Better diff of XML files
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday May 19, 2009
I needed to compare the FlatXML of two OpenOffice.org files. I usually reformat the XML files using xmllint and then diff those formatted XML files. However I couldn't properly see the differences between for those files because the attributes were on the same line with the element. In order to compare all the attributes one by one, I decided to hack xmllint (and then libxml2 too) as we discussed it recently with Tor recently.

Scala on Google App Engine
Submitted by Webmaster on Friday May 15, 2009
In their article, the three Google engineers, Toby Reyelts, Alex Rudnick and Lex Spoon show you how to implement Scala projects on the App Engine by taking you through two sample applications. They say "Overall, it looks like the scalac compiler produces jars that are so close to Java's that App Engine just doesn't notice or care. We can second that: it works for us too!"

GNU/Linux: rubbery figures don`t help the cause
Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday May 14, 2009
Over the last 10 days there has been a spate of reports all based on some surprising statistics titled "Operating System Market Share" put out by a company named Net Applications.
That there have been this many reports is all due to one fact - the figures put forward by this company claim that the use of GNU/Linux on the desktop has reached one percent of some subset of users.

The Programming Language with the Happiest Users
Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday May 13, 2009
Which languages make programmers the happiest? It's clear that some languages are more popular than others, and many of us debate long and hard over the relative merits of Python vs Ruby, C vs Java or Lisp vs everything else. But what's the general consensus?

Better ODF support in Microsoft Office via Sun`s ODF Plugin
Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday May 13, 2009
The Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office, which is based on OpenOffice.org, adds support for ODF to Microsoft Office 2000 and newer versions. So you don't have to use the very latest Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 version (in case you really need Microsoft Office for some reason) , where ODF support is insufficient anyway.

Fedora 11: TigerVNC
Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday May 13, 2009
There was no update from RealVNC upstream since May 18 2006 and upstream is focused on their enterprise non-open vnc. Trunk TigerVNC is RealVNC fork with many improvements/bugfixes so it makes sense to use it. Main problem is that current Fedora vnc has also many changes so patches have to be merged.

How to VPN using SSH
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday May 12, 2009
This post will cover how to establish a VPN (Virtual Private Network) using SSH.
This is technically termed "layer-3 IP-in-SSH tunnelling" and is not using ssh to port forward (ssh -L ) or create a dynamic "application level" forwarding (SOCKS) (ssh -D ). Rather a VPN is established using a SSH connection to create a virtual interface, tun0.

Remote install of Debian overtop of RedHat
Submitted by Webmaster on Friday May 08, 2009
A very long time ago I leased some server space that had RedHat and I wanted Debian. So I did a remote install using the /swap partition as a / partition. I thought the notes were lost, but I found them. I include them here for historical (hysterical?) purposes only.
