The Debian legacy

2005-06-22T14:45:00.000+07:00

Debian's popularity has inspired dozens of variants, including many that circumvent your hard disk and run directly from a combination of CD-ROM and computer memory. Here's a look at some of the celebrities in the Debian family tree. Debian is an open source operating system developed by volunteers and freely available via the Internet. Capable of running on a variety of hardware platforms, Debian is also a great representation of the power of open source software. It offers around 10,000 software packages that are maintained by about 1,000 developers.

Trojan holds PC files for ransom

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4580389.stm

A unique new kind of malicious threat which locks up files on a PC then demands money in return for unlocking them has been identified. The trojan turns files into gobbledegook, holding them to "ransom"

RFC-2397: The "data" URL scheme

2005-05-18T08:08:00.000+07:00

http://bebas.vlsm.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt

A new URL scheme, "data", is defined. It allows inclusion of small data items as "immediate" data, as if it had been included externally.

Some applications that use URLs also have a need to embed (small) media type data directly inline. This document defines a new URL scheme that would work like 'immediate addressing'. The URLs are of the form:
data:[][;base64],

HTML example:

<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhMAAwAPAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAMAAw

This document aims to be newbie-friendly. For the benefit of
new users, verbosity and graphical presentation is preferred.
For now, there's sparse background information mixed with the
cook-book. In the future there should be a second volume or
appendices for background info, with frequent link referrals
to them.

Linux Winmodem Support

2005-05-16T12:30:00.000+07:00

http://www.linmodems.org/

The FIRST step towards finding a Linux driver is identifying the modem's CHIPSET. The scanModem tool will help you. Please download and run the scanModem tool before sending any query to discuss@linmodems.org. The chipset will be recognized and cogent updated knowledge and URLs written out. The manufacturer brand with model number are generally NOT informative in this regard.

Documentaion Project

## For those wondering what is happening in the Documentation Project:
Fedora Documentation Steering Committee (FDSCo)
03-MAY-2005 #fedora-docs on irc.freenode.net

The goal of the Docs Project is to create easy-to-follow, task-based documentation for Fedora Core users and developers. Other than the Installation Guide, each tutorial should be in DocBook XML article format, with one article per topic. This way, writers can contribute documentation about a specific topic without having to worry about how it fits into a manual or how it flows with other topics

Yes, good idea. See
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/StyleGuideDiscussion and feel free to
make a contribution.

Preseeding Issue

2005-05-12T12:14:00.000+07:00

http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/01/msg00962.html

Q; I don't like to run tasksel - who to get around this?
A: preseed it with empty value...

Q: I like to preseed another default without setting the name. Is this possible? How? If I set d-i netcfg/get_hostname, I am not prompted for the hostname anymore, I just like to set the default from "debian" to some other value.
A: I'm not sure as well that you can really set the default but still be prompted...

Notes on remastering an Ubuntu CD

I want to take the Hoary CD, remove all the graphical stuff, install a preseed ("answers") file for the installer, add some components from universe, and have a nice neat firewall-on-a-CD.

RMS: BitKeeper bon-voyage is a happy ending

http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/04/25/130207

There are thousands of non-free programs, and most merit no special attention, other than developing a free replacement. What made this program, BitKeeper, infamous and dangerous was its marketing approach: inviting high-profile free software projects to use it, so as to attract other paying users.

With Debian's slow release cycle, the only way to upgrade some packages was to get them from backports.org. The ability to upgrade the operating system painlessly to a newer version is one area where Debian enjoys a considerable advantage.
