Bug #122948 in gnome-system-tools in Ubuntu
Posted by csrins on May 11, 2008
A new install of Ubuntu 8.04 which is a Long Term Support (LTS) almost always brings up the annoying Bug #223448 which is marked as a duplicate of Bug #122948.
But # 122948 was first reported on 2007-06-29!
There have been two releases, including the much-touted LTS release for 8.04, with the bug being silently carried forward, with it’s importance in Launchpad as Undecided.
Guess that’s what they mean by Long Term … waiting for Godot!

GNU/Linux Server Distributions
Posted by csrins on August 30, 2006
Trying to learn/setup a server using GNU/Linux distributions is an educational and fun exercise, if not compellingly required for any particular commercial solution.
So, what are a few distributions?
Heading over to www.distrowatch.com is a good starting point.
Or to give a short list here (in no particular order of preference):
