Posted: ( Wed 14th Jun 2006 04:30:27[PM] UTC )
I have made some notes regarding NetBSD and CD/DVD-recording that I thought I would share with the world. Not that there is anything terribly complicated or advanced involved, it's all quite straight forward. But since I've already made notes on how to do some of the more common things, I thought I would share them.

Linux : Reviews : SUSE Linux 10 - a.k.a. Mercedes Linux
Posted: ( Sun 27th Nov 2005 02:17:32[AM] UTC )
Oct 2005 completed my first year as a SUSE Linux user. I had started out with SUSE 9.2 warily. Having been through a myriad of Linux distros in the last 5-6 years, I had reached a conclusion that Linux was fine to fiddle around with at home, but not for the regular work at office. I could not spare time for geeky software and “terminals” were a dead end!

main : Articles : A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernels
Posted: ( Sun 27th Nov 2005 01:37:22[AM] UTC )
I spend most of my time teaching classes on Solaris internals, device drivers, and kernel crash dump analysis and debugging. When explaining to classes how various subsystems are implemented in Solaris, students often ask, "How does it work in Linux?" or, "In FreeBSD, it works like this, how about Solaris?" This article examines three of the basic subsystems of the kernel and compares implementation between Solaris 10, Linux 2.6, and FreeBSD 5.3.

Linux : Opinions : Linux and NTFS: peace at last?
Posted: ( Tue 13th Sep 2005 04:52:59[PM] UTC )
Reading from NTFS file systems wasn't too much trouble. Writing to a file or creating a new file, though, was something else again. And, trying to adjust the size of an NTFS partition or recover a dead file was, while not impossible, hard enough that few people wanted to try it. Now, however, Paragon Software Group has created its own NTFS driver: NTFS for Linux. And, from what my friends over at PC Magazine Labs can tell, it works pretty darn well.
