• FOSWiki Related notes, which is a successor to my TWiki Related notes
• LVM can be prodded, when it's refusing to let volumes come online, with "vgchange -a y"
• Must get around to downloading and installing Synfig. It looks like more or less a freeware successor to Fantavision on the Amiga.
• Some notes on getting Aptana working, which touches more upon Java than anything else I've written to date.
• It's worth noting that "cabextract" will remove Windows files from .cab files, and "unshield" will extract files out of InstallShield? archives. This comes in handy when attempting to dig Windoze drivers out of vendor install CDs when there are no native Linux drivers for a particular bit of hardware.
• Ruby On Rails notes.
• My discoveries on Spam
• All kinds of Qmail related notes
• Firewalling away the 'L33t Haxx0rz'
• Irritating Changes in Various Distributions
• Useful commands for probing systems
• General Linux Filesystem stuff.
• Linux Software RAID related issues.
• Using a Linux box for a router with NAT
• I need to get around to describing the process of lying to Fedora to 'upgrade in place' from one version to the next.
• "sed -i '/pattern/d' filename"... enough said. There is great power here.
• "grep -L 'PAGETITLE' *.txt"... enough said. There is also great power here, for finding TWiki pages which are just going to use horrible default titles.
• Burning an iso from an OSX mac? Forget the gui crap... use hdiutil burn image.iso
• The magic formula to create a patch file for others' consumption, is 'diff -Naur old new', which will create a forward patch.
• Setting up a laptop my way
