Gentoo graphical installer!

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Gentoo

Who would have thought… a Gentoo graphical installer! Mick, you should have tried this before rebuilding your system
Gentoo Linux Installer Project Page and the mirror.
This reminds me a little of the old Mandrake installer that I was using around the v7 mark maybe? Once this installer goes mainstream, will it mean that more [...]

Back to the grind

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal| Work

So, unfortunate for me, I had to join reality. On Monday, I spent the morning in bed (my own bed) which was great, but spent the afternoon cleaning all the windows for our inspection on Tuesday. All is well, and things are slowly moving along with the new place. Bek and I caught the tram [...]

Unfortunatly, I still haven’t won one of the IBM X40 ThinkPads that the LCA organisers have been giving away. I still haven’t given up hope though. There is one left tomorrow, so fingers crossed.
This morning I went to the keynote by Andrew Morton, who is the Linux 2.6 kernel maintainer. Although he wasn’t much [...]

I had a look on the web site, and found that our place was still on the list, so I swiped the photos. I hope nobody minds

Linux.conf.au - Day Three and Four

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Linux

The actual conference started on Wednesday, with the tutorials. The four of us (Me, Timmy, Tuddy, and Josh) went to the PHP session. Timmy and I stayed for the first bit, but left soon after. It was kinda dry, and Rasmus was talking lots about the differences in PHP5 compared to PHP4. Looks like they [...]

Linux.conf.au - Day Two

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Linux

I dragged myself out of bed at about 8am this morning. Needed to get there early for the GNOME miniconf. It was really awesome to actually put faces to the blogs of some of these GNOME guys, that I have been reading so much about on Planet GNOME.
Luis Villa started the morning off by [...]
