According to bit-tech.net Linux with Wine passes Microsoft’s WGA without a hitch, does this mean that Microsoft has a soft spot for Linux? – I can’t believe that ![]()
SATA RAID Howto (Ubuntu Dapper 6.06) August 16, 2006
Posted by invaleed in Linux.add a comment

Ubuntu (and Debian) doesn’t have support for the SATA RAID (also called FakeRAID since some of the functionality is provided by software) controllers being shipped on recent motherboards (The only distros to support these currently are Gentoo and Fedora Core 5). The software to handle FakeRAID arrays in Linux is dmraid.
Dmraid is currently not integrated into the Debian installer or the Ubuntu Live-CD installer. Therefore, one cannot directly install Ubuntu onto such RAID arrays. Previously, one had to install Ubuntu on to a separate partition and then debootstrap Ubuntu. However the Dapper Live-CD can be used to easily install Ubuntu Dapper onto such RAID arrays
Local DNS Cache for Faster Browsing August 9, 2006
Posted by invaleed in Linux.add a comment
A DNS server resolves domain names into IP addresses. So when you request “google.com” for example, the DNS server finds out the address for the domain, and sends your request the right way.
You can run a DNS cache on your computer. This will speed up the process of looking up domain names when browsing. The difference is about 30-60 ms for me. Multiply that difference by the number of websites you visit a day for an approximate estimate of the speed improvement. Of course, all this would be worth it if it weren’t for the fact that setting this up is way too easy.

This week the Debian project has announced that the next stable release will be available in December 2006 and will be named Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias ‘etch‘. This is great news for the Debian fans that are using the stable release, meaning they will not have to wait 3 years as they did for Sarge to see a new Debian stable release.

The Debian project confirms December 2006 as the date for the next release of its distribution which will be named Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias ‘etch’. This will be the first official release to include the AMD64 architecture. The distribution will be released synchronously for 11 architectures in total.
