Misc

[ LinuxISOtorrent.com :
Wished this existed when I was still in UK (where I had blazingly fast broadband access to the Internet) *sigh*
Oh well, enjoy... hunting for ISOs of linux distros is now much easier than before. (wished somebody would put up SLYNUX though, looks interesting)

[ A Gamer's Manifesto ] :
If you ever played computer / console games in the last few years, you’ll have lots of laughter reading this. Absolutely funny - and spot on too. Quite a refreshing read.

Greg Palast : Palestine is still the issue

A new excellent documentary from one of the few investigative journalists, Greg Palast, has been released. To my knowledge, it’s been made available for public. You can download it for example [ from here ].

Download, watch, and remember others not so fortunate like us.

Lomba karya tulis IGOS

Walaupun tidak terlalu dipublikasikan, namun ternyata [ peserta lomba karya tulis IGOS cukup banyak ].

Saya lihat, banyak sekali karya tulis yang sangat menarik dan kemungkinan besar bisa sangat berguna bagi masyarakat. Mudah-mudahan, IGOS akan mempublikasikan semua karya tulis yang masuk dan membuatnya bisa diakses oleh siapa saja.

Pengumuman pemenangnya sendiri akan dilakukan pada tanggal 24 Juni 2005. Andakah pemenangnya ?

Debian Sarge

I just bought Debian woody’s CDs from gudanglinux.com, and then I noticed that Debian sarge has been supported by Debian’s security team since 3rd of May 2005. Doh :) if I knew that, I’ll buy Sarge CDs instead.

But anyway, personally I feel confident enough to use Debian sarge to run servers, now that it’s supported by the security team and has been frozen / prepared to become the next stable version of Debian.

Some people complained about the long release cycle of Debian. Well, if you run servers, the last thing you want is to stop your server and upgrade it every few months. So I’m perfectly happy with that (of course for desktop I prefer others; like FC3, Ubuntu, etc).
But, now I wrote it, I remember that with OpenBSD, you can (quite) easily upgrade your server to the next stable version. Probably you can do that too with Debian - that would be great. I’ll look around for the instruction.
