Pure black, of course, with Arch Linux, AwesomeWM and zsh on the side completing my geek palate.
Besides my nerdy interests I can spend all my free time on collecting and listening to vinyl records (especially psych/kraut/free-jazz stuff), tinker with hifi equipment (again, with varying success, but that's part of the charm right?), and playing the guitar. If ever Phusion will stop its current operations and become an 80′s glamrock band, I'm ready.
But for now, Phusion …
…package of tools due to the former not being kept up to date with the newer kernel interfaces. Some Arch Linux users have already seen situations where new systems don't even have ifconfig installed. The iproute2 tools give us more data as well, such as being able to now capture vlan ids. We default to iproute2 now, which is a pretty big change. Benedikt Böhm helped provide support for peer-to-peer addresses to this plugin. Thanks also go out to Laurent Désarmes for his …

Arch Linux 2010.05 64-bit is now an available option in the SliceManager when building a new slice as well as rebuilding an existing one.
As always, please note that any existing data on the slice will be erased if you choose to rebuild a slice using this image.
On Tuesday, June 15th, we will be removing the previous Arch Linux image, 2009.02, as an available option. If you wish to continue utilizing this image, you can take a backup of an existing slice in the SliceManager .
It's still fashionable in certain Linux circles these days to pick a leaner distro in order to minimize resource utilization. Advocates of Arch Linux and Gentoo like to point out that Ubuntu is a bit heavy on RAM usage. As a Linux old timer, I'm sympathetic to the yearnings for a leaner, meaner past. Even Linus Torvalds admits that Linux is getting a bit bloated these days.
However, does switching to something like Arch Linux or Xubuntu really help? Consider …
…boxes. I'm just perpetually unlucky when it comes to installing Hoary.
It's becoming rather annoying, because i'm trying to move completely over to Ubuntu on my lappy (which is a big move, considering how well my Arch Linux system is functioning on it), but I always keep falling into this little trap.
My Warty installation media always seems to do the trick. A (relatively) quick update sets me straight.
Hoary, is there no love for me?
On the technical front - starting solid work on the ArchLinux PPC port i've been procrastinating about for the last few months this week. Some of the nice people over at Computer Bank NSW are dropping an older PPC machine around mid week, so i'm hoping to have a development environment up by the weekend, and a functional base system by the end of it.
Over the last month or so i've been ripping things apart, too. I managed to completely bork my WRT54G, so I ripped that …
