让Ubuntu飞一会儿
很久以前我一直使用的rpm based Linux,原因很简单,我只要手握一张最新的DVD,就可以走遍天下都不怕,特别是对SuSE Linux的yast很依赖,因为它可以帮我解决rpm包之间的依赖性。这样工作起来就很简单,基本上是搜索到软件包之后,点击安装既可以搞定所有的软件安装工作。 来到Ubuntu世界的我并不很满意,最近一次的apt-get update,以失败告终,险些把家里的PC的一块硬盘给搞丢了,因为升级失败导致分区表失效了,Win操作系统不认了。直接崩溃,好在那Live Cd模式进入还能勉强看得那个盘里的东西,恢复到移动硬盘,重新格式化该分区,才把文件恢复了。着实让我虚惊一场。 我比较喜欢一些小的LAMP堆栈式安装的Linux,如TurnkeyLinux。安装可以在10分钟内搞定系统安装。今年家里的宽度升级到2MB了,因此带宽上逐渐能满足Ubuntu这种从网上升级的需求。下面就是找国内的升级的源了,进过几个月的使用,最近觉得在北京的联通固定宽带的用户,使用163的镜像站点速度还是不错的。再次感谢国内的这样的无私奉献的公司,使得在国内的开源用户可以更快更方便。废话说了一堆:)哈哈下面也就是这几条命了的事情。 第一步,当然要选择近水楼台的163了,来参考http://mirrors.163.com/.help/ubuntu.html 的帮助文档,根据你操作系统的版本,更新/etc/apt/sources.list 文件即可,之后你的Ubuntu就是从国内的较快的站点上下载包了 第二步,安装多线程apt下载加速工具apt-fast root@lamp ~# apt-get install python-software-properties root@lamp ~# add-apt-repository ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net root@lamp ~# apt-get update root@lamp ~# apt-get install apt-fast root@lamp ~# apt-fast -v apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.3 for i386 compiled on Sep 9 2010 22:22:02 Supported modules: *Ver: Standard .deb *Pkg: Debian dpkg interface (Priority 30)
How to configure statusnet default language

If you are playing with statusnet, I bet you could not change default language; English language just shows every where. So I’d like to write a quick guide to show you how to change perferred langguage as zh_cn. I have a Ubuntu server with only English language pack. root@lamp www/statusnet# locale -a C POSIX en_GB
既要开源,也要环保
今天看到了我保存的一摞Linux光盘,这基本上也记录了我所关注和安装过的所有Linux的种类。品种繁多。如下: CentOS 4.4 Ubuntu 8.4 server Ubuntu 8.4 desktop Opensolaris Debian 4.0 SuSe Enterprise 10.1 Redhat Enterprise Server 3 SuSe Linux 10 Mandriva 2008 CentOS 4.2 SuSe 10.0 Eval DVD Mandrake 10.0 Redhat 7.1 Derbain 3.0 FreeBSD 5.2 Suse 9 SuSe enterprise linux 9.0 Fedora 4 Redhat 9 Solaris 10 x86 Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop SLES
It just looks like a Mac desktop
We all knows Mac OS X looks very nice, and works nice also. But, Mac can not be only system for you to use. Most of us are using Intel PC desktops and laptops. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Chinese saying says “鱼和熊掌不可得兼” . So, you might need a new Mac
gOS looks green
Today I installed gOS on my laptop; openSuSE did great work for me 3 years. I’d like to play some new things. So, check my new desktop out. http://picasaweb.google.com/liuzh66/GOS If you go its wetsite http://thinkgos.com/, you will see it talks lots of cloud. It’s interesting, but it is not the reson i chose it. Ubuntu
