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/

Download OpenSUSE 10.1 Live DVD

The OpenSUSE project has released the Live DVD version of its latest OpenSUSE 10.1 release. This is the first time OpenSUSE project has released a LiveDVD version of its distribution.

The LiveDVD which contains 4 GB of Linux software compressed into a 1.7 GB iso image however is smaller than the Knoppix 5.0.1 Live DVD, currently sized at 4.04GB.

Unlike Knoppix, OpenSUSE live DVD is not installable to hard disk, but can be used to test hardware compatibility, perform system rescue tasks, or evaluate SUSE Linux 10.1

You can download the OpenSUSE Live DVD at the official release page http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version

06/06/06 – The year of the beast?

Is it really true that today is a special day where the date coincide with the number of the beast? (ie 06/06/06 = 666).

IMHO, if you see that date in your pc right now, then you’re pretty f*cked up, because you may be using a non-Y2k compliant software. Truncating the number to 2 digit is a damn bad practice :p

Krunch – Compressing and Decompressing files on web

Krunch

Introducing Krun.ch, a web application that let you upload and compress your files on-the-fly. Krunch also offers option to email the resulting compressed files.

Not only that, but Krunch also lets you upload and uncompress zip,rar and tar gzip archives on the fly. This eliminates the need of a standalone decompression program. You won’t need unrar/rar anymore in order to uncompress rar files.

Krun.ch is relatively new and was developed by Kailash Nadh. The same guy that brought http://splogspot.com and Pingoat.com

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 !
