Download OpenBSD PD ksh for Linux

If for some reason you want to use OpenBSD ksh which is a modified version of pdksh (Public Domain ksh), then look no more. Somebody has taken the trouble to port the OpenBSD ksh to GNU/Linux.

So what’s the deal with the OpenBSD ksh? First, it is free being modified by the OpenBSD project people which really emphasis on software freedom. Secondly, OpenBSD people has cleaned the public-domain ksh and enhanced PD ksh with great features.

So if for some reason you need an improved open implementation of ksh, then try downloading from this website : http://www.delilinux.de/oksh/

How to create a black console background in your blog

Hi there,

Recently, one of the blog readers asked me about how do I create a black console background to illustrate command-line in some of my posts (ie : 1, 2 , 3)

You just need to include these line, just after the tag in your blog template.

save your template, and republish your blog in it’s entirely (if you’re using blogger).

To use the black console background, you just need to put <div class=”terminal”> and </div> in between of your desired text. For example :


Linux 2.6.17 - login #

will produce

Linux 2.6.17 – login #

That’s all, happy hacking !

Upgrade from Breezy Badger

If you already have the previous version of Ubuntu Installed (Breezy Badger), then you just need to change ‘breezy’ to ‘dapper’ in /etc/apt-get/sources.list.

Then do

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And wait for your Breezy Badget to transform into Ubuntu Dapper Drake!
