Available distributions

I have a small collection of various CD’s and, or DVD’s for distributions of Linux and, or Unix which I would love to share with you. Please bring some extra blanks and get the media burned for your favorite distro only at the cost of a smile :)

I shall arrange to download other such images also, provided these are freely and legally available somewhere via Internet.

The FreeBSD ports I maintain or test

I proudly, have been maintaining and, or submitting a few ports for FreeBSD project since December 2006. The authorized volunteers however, take time to approve and, or commit new and, or updated ports; may be due to the workload they handle.

Hence, I have created a public repository for sharing these with all those of you, who either are interested to use or help me in testing these ports, even before these are committed to the real ports tree. Please feel free to download, test and, or report any bugs; a feedback of yours though not mandatory, shall highly be appreciated.

After downloading the requisite and, or suggested <whatever>.shar.gz file(s) for a port, to extract and, or install, all you need to do is, as root repeat the following for the *.shar.gz files:

# zcat <whatever>.shar.gz |sh

or for the <whatever>.patch.gz file(s):

# zcat <whatever>.patch.gz |patch -d/ -p1

Now, visit the main ports’ directory and perform:

# cd /usr/ports/<category>/<port>
# make install clean

That’s all, and you have done it!

Givin’ WordPress theme a new look!

I as usual remain quite busy, even if I don’t have any job and, or project at hand; I get lost either in to pending experiments, research or readings. I admit I’m though somewhat, but a computer addict. You know, we can/might still manage to find and, or devote some time for the family :)

Here is a new theme or perhaps sleek skin Cerato dedicated to my daughter, I managed to develop based on famous WordPress theme Kubrick by Michael Heilemann. Click here to download Cerato; hope it is as useful for you too as it is for my daughter.
