Y pensar que creí que lo había visto todo!  Según las malas lenguas Mac es el informal, el piola, Linux es el macho, el bad ass! y Vista siempre está de fiesta!

Un poco de humor no viene mal!

Los días 20, 21 y 22 de este mes de Agosto se realizaron las mencionadas jornadas en una de las sedes de la UB - Universidad de Belgrano, por primera vez en Capital Federal, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

OpenLina es un software de fuente abierta que permite correr una aplicación creada en Linux, en cualquier sistema operativo, llámese Windows, Mac OS X, Unix o distribuciones de Linux, distintas de la que fue creada la aplicación en cuestión.   Digamos que es un sistema operativo virtual que corre sobre tu sistema operativo, en otras palabras una máquina virtual.

I have two CentOS based servers at the office. Both built within a day or so of each other and both with the same set of packages.

As mentioned last week, I have both servers setup to notify me when updates are ready (as opposed to automatically updating themselves). However, I’m not quite sure how much I trust that at the moment.

Last week Wednesday, one of the servers started notifying me that kernel updates were ready to go. I manually ran “yum update” on the other server, and it notified me that phpMyAdmin updates were ready…

Yeah, each server was looking at different updates!

Una forma de tenerla a salvo de los amigos de husmear lo ajeno, es encriptar archivos y directorios, añadirles una contraseña para que sólo el que conozca la contraseña pueda abrir el archivo.

If you're using Windows and if you want to access those filesystems that are used

by Linux you can use FUSE on Windows now.

With my new CentOS (Linux) servers, I wanted to be sure that I didn’t fall in to the trap of having them do any sort of automatic updates. I don’t do that with Windows servers and I sure don’t intend to start with Linux servers either! That way lies madness, right?

Ever since we started writing a complete and cutting edge filesystem in C# and only

managed code we are confronted with questions like

"Why C#? Why .NET? Why not in a more low-level language? Why a filesystem after all?"

I don't want to talk just yet about our reasons but we can't be that wrong if even
