On the email list I proposed a quick poll to see what Linux distribution most members are primarily running. If you would like, please post a comment and note your primary distro. If you are not a follower of the LILUG mailing list, please note that as well in your comment. Thanks.
OK, not to be repetitious, but now school is only one week away. Sigh. What I didn’t mention in last week’s post was the fact that I’m taking this semester’s courses online. I took an online class earlier this summer, and it went well. In fact I earned an A. This semester I am taking a Database course and a web programming course. Hopefully I will keep my 4.0 GPA going.
Yesterday on Slashdot, I was reading about the Linksys NSLU2. People have figured out that this device runs Linux on an ARM processor and now can install custom applications on it, since they were able to get a login shell. You are now able to implement your own services and programs on this storage device. For under $80 (and free shipping from Amazon!) it seems like a fun toy to play with. I wonder what running a full-featured web server such as Apache would be like. Maybe this site will run on one of these small, quiet boxes in the future…
