At the advice of a friend of mind from TrendMicro, it would be best to learn Chinese mandarin by learning the Chinese characters at the same time. Since, similar looking characters have similar meanings. So, I decided to try it by installing 拼音 (pin1yin1) input support for my Fedora Core 5 system. There are a […]

I read this interesting article on O’Reilly Radar (via Slashdot) about Apple geeks moving to Ubuntu. I do not find this article surprising because a number of my students thought they were using MacOSX upon seeing Ubuntu on their lab computers on their first day of class.

This is because evolution-data-server-1.6.1 provides libecal-1.2.so.3 while the upgraded version, evolution-data-server-1.6.2 provides libecal-1.2.so.6. Unfortunately, libecal-1.2.so.3 is required by gnome-panel and a whole gamut of other gnome applications. Therefore, yum refuses to upgrade because it finds that replacing evolution-data-server will […]

I have been having yum troubles for about a month now. I am unable to install or update packages using yum. This is pretty annoying as I am now totally dependent on yum auto-dependency checking features and third party repositories like livna, dag and atrpms. So, for the past month, I have been installing and […]

In the spirit of an article I read in Linux.com about My sysadmin toolbox (which looks more like a desktop enhancement list), I would like to start my own list of essential systems administration tools. These tools are arranged in no particular order. I omitted things like kernel, less, fileutils, cron, at, coreutils, psutils, modutils, […]
