Here is an interesting interview with Steve McIntyre, the current leader @ debian.org where he talks about his work as the DPL and Debian future in general. By the way, Steve is standing for re-election this year… we will see how this turns out after this year vote…

Just a few days after M$ released its latest version of its own browser IE7 (that I was not even curious to test), yesterday (20061024) was released the latest version of Firefox v2.0. The changes we can see in this new version compared to v1.5 are not so big as with IE7 vs. IE6, and they include:
- Visual Refresh
- Built-in phishing protection
- Enhanced search capabilities
- Improved tabbed browsing
- Resuming your browsing session
- Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds
- Inline spell checking
- Live Titles
- Improved Add-ons manager
- JavaScript 1.7
- Extended search plugin format
- Updates to the extension system
- Client-side session and persistent storage
- SVG text
- New Windows installer

Here is a short interview with Cornelius, the newest contributor of the site. I have asked him a few questions so we can learn a few things about him. If you would like to ask Cornelius some other questions please feel free to use the comment form of this post.

But I strongly tend to like more administrating a Linux machine. Read the rest of this entry »

I have just noticed many referrals in my webserver logs from NewsForge and so I have seen that my small article “Linux Tips: take control of your bash_history†was featured there. Nice!

.
Anyway many thanks for the person who has submitted it.
