Linux installation frustration!
Saturday, February 07, 2009 @ 03:35:59 AST by meshal (1046 reads) |  Anonymous writes Sometimes I get frustrated with Linux, this happens mainly while installing. Installing is often one of the most frustrating experiences with Linux. I remember a time where this kept me from using Linux at all. Today I had such a day again after a long time, I was installing Ubuntu on a laptop which had a harddisk replaced and for the second time in a row the installation hanged suddenly. This kind of things always happen when I'm in a hurry. And you know why? Such a thing most of the time is related to hurrying!

AMD Shanghai Launch - Database Testing
Sunday, November 23, 2008 @ 07:51:27 AST by meshal (2168 reads) | 
What about how Shanghai fairs against its older brother Barcelona? Well, in some cases, the gain is clearly just the increased clock speed. However, in others Shanghai achieves an increase of anywhere from 10-15% over and above the clock speed difference. It's obvious that Shanghai is what Intel would call a "Tock" of the clock for the Barcelona architecture, and it is a nice little bump for turning a few knobs and a die shrink. 2009 will be a very interesting year for AMD and Intel. Whether or not Shanghai can hold down the fort until Istanbul comes out remains to be seen.

Saturday, July 26, 2008 @ 14:59:47 AST by meshal (1713 reads) | According to a somewhat jaw-dropping story in The Register, it appears
that Microsoft has performed a
trifecta of geek-scaring feats: They have joined the Apache Software
Foundation as a Platinum member(at $100K USD a year), submitted LGPL-licensed
patches for ADOdb, and have pledged to expand their
Open Specifications
Promise by adding to the list more than 100 protocols for interoperability

Slackware 12.1 is released!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 @ 14:42:10 AST by meshal (1933 reads) |  The Oldest & the Greatest Linux distribution, Slackware 12.1 has been
released.
Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release again.
So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.1! Since we've moved to
supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and fine-tuned the system to get
the most out of it), we feel that Slackware 12.1 has many improvements over our
last release (Slackware 12.0) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user.
