Linus Torvalds on Ubuntu

Quote from Linus Torvalds:

“and some kernel people tend to dismiss Ubuntu, but I really think that Ubuntu has generally had the right approach, and been very user-centric”

The Linux-Training Project: Linux Training v2 released

As announced in February new versions of the Linux training courses were being (re-)written by Paul. I’m pleased to announce that v2 was merged in the master branch on github. I you want to test it or just check it out: git clone git://github.com/linuxtraining/lt.git cd lt git submodule init git submodule update ./make.sh ./make.sh build [...]

The Linux-Training Project: New Books

You may have noticed that since February 2011 there have been no updates to the free pdf’s. That is because we have been redesigning the docbook source code to accommodate smaller books (we call them minibooks). This mandates a rewrite of the build system and a refitting of the .xml files and directories. This is [...]

Modern times revisited

Ge moet u voorstellen dat de muziekindustrie gewoon een nest bedrijven zijn die jarenlang op een berg geld gezeten hebben, waar een hoop managers het steeds heel goed hadden, en waar de vakbonden geen klagen hadden. Nu moeten die bedrijven plots allemaal extra hard beginnen werken voor hun geld, en is een reorganistaie niet mogelijk [...]

The Linux-Training Project: Updated make script and split linux-training and datanet

Some recent changes. I updated the make script to be a little more decent. (A little less clumsy actually.) The LT project contained until now both the linux-training books, but also “Datacommunicatie en Netwerken” (in short, Datanet) which is a Dutch introductory course  about data communication and basic networking. We split both projects into two [...]

The Linux-Training Project: Main git repository moved to Github

Just moved the main git repository from gitorious to Github:

You might want to update your remotes!

SSH RemoteCommand over netcat hopping, or not.

Patrick Debois‘ article on Chaining SSH tunnels inspired me to effectively start using this technique. At first my use case was pretty simple. It wasn’t the host I needed to connect to which behind a firewall, but, as it turned out, I was. I’ve got a box at home listening on a high port, as [...]

Kleuterschool Waarschoot in 1977

Een klein stukje uit een stomme film uit 1977.
Het huidige “Kersenpitje”. Geen idee wat toen de officiêle naam was.
Eerst enkele beelden van een uitstapje in de natuur.
Tenslotten enkele beelden op de speelplaats.
De kinderen op de film zijn wellicht van de geboortejaren 1971-1972-1973.

Linux-Training site updated

The Linux Training web site was updated earlier this week – Linux Training is Paul Cobbaut‘s training book project. No fancy new flash website, just some simple pages, with some links to the git repository with the Docbook source code, the download page and some more stuff. I should add a short introduction about how [...]
