Taking a few certifications myself over years myself, I’ve certainly gotten a feel for which ones were “real” and which ones generated the paper *cough*MSCE’s*cough. I’m sure that the RHCE isn’t the CCIE exam, but it ain’t no picnic either. So Michael Conigliaro getting a perfect score with an hour to spare is [...]
I pay attention to anything written by Valerie Aurora, who is not only hot, but a world class Linux filesystem developer.
She’s put together “A short history of btrfs” the Linux file system that Linus Torvalds is using on one of his laptops. Check it out:
In this article, we’ll take a behind-the-scenes look at the [...]
Looks like Linux is moving and shaking again! First OS to support the new USB 3.0 specs and major work done by a chick! You go girl!! (p.s. I’d hit that…)
The xHCI (USB 3.0) host controller driver and initial support for

MythBuntu
CrunchBang
OpenGEU
I would read his take on them but I can tell you that Ubuntu is [...]
For some contest that I’m too lazy to lookup. Just watch the video, it’s funny.
“Macs are hipsters. PC’s are dorks. I’m a Linux. All I care about is rocking. Hard.”
(For the “I’m a Linux” video contest. The Linux mascot is “Tux the Penguin,” so this time the penguin costume is actually appropriate.)
YouTube — I’m [...]
Charles Babcock over at the fine publication InformationWeek posted an article on Linux Gaining Strength during this econolypse.
Virtualization of the data center also aids Linux use in that Linux runs as a guest under a hypervisor on a Windows Server host. Instead of buying additional Windows licenses, Windows administrators can often create virtual machines running [...]
Looks like the frogs are on the right track dropping millions in licensing fees and switching to OpenOffice.org and open source software solutions.
The problem is that I’ve looked on Sourceforge and I can’t seem to find any open source deodorant…
A recent report has revealed that France’s national police force has saved an estimated 50 million [...]
This is a blog...of a person...that sucks at writing. Think of it as Techmeme written by a retard...except without all the hugging.
