Mark Finnern has a great idea: Wikipedia papers . Specifically, Every student that takes a class has to create or improve a Wikipedia page to the topic of the class. It shouldn’t be the only deliverable, but an important one. The Wikimedia organization could help the professors with tools, that highlight the changes that a certain user has done on a page. You only pass, when the professor is satisfied with the scientific validity of the page.

Finally got sound working in everything, got it to work in aplay, but wasn’t working in vlc. Might be easier if your not using XFCE, but if your using xfce do the below as root. Also I’m using alsa, you can read on their wiki how to set that up. Add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel You might only need the first line though. pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins Type y when it asks “install whole content?”.

I really don’t know much about PC’s and so I’m trying to find someone who can help get my hard drive back up and running. I just need the data off that drive . . . I’ll pay for someone’s time if they can help me. My problem started with the computer locking up during routine e-mailing. When it rebooted, it stated that there was no HAL.DLL file. I looked up on the net (www.fix-dll-errors.com) and tried to fix it myself. Not surprisingly, I made a bigger mess . . .

Finally I have decided to venture into learning GIT – an open source distributed source code management software which is gaining in popularity for quite some time.

Recently I was involved in a customer escalation. Our partner was complaining of poor copy performance seen by their application compared to what they saw on a flavor of Linux. Since copying is a key functionality to performance of many device drivers and subsystems, we felt that it was important to investigate this. This blog article will discuss our approach and outlines an interesting example on how to measure and investigate performance. Also, to set the tone, this discussion is mainly catered to X86 systems.

AVLinux is a Linux Audio Video Production Distribution. The world of Linux didn’t stop to amaze me since day one – and AVLinux is worth every praise.

Simple-CDD – Debian Wiki Simple-cdd is a limited, though relatively easy to use tool to create a customized DebianInstaller CD. It is a wrapper around debian-cd and mirroring tools used to create a customized DebianInstaller CD image. It takes a list of packages to install, and debconf pre-seeding files to pre-configure the installation. It has some support for multiple profiles and custom post-install scripts for things that can’t be configured by debconf preseeding.
