More stuff on less space – Shrinking the EasyLFS-LiveCD – Part 2
Before I could already save around 100MB by removing the kernel-sources from the Live-system. Now I have decided to remove GCC 3.4 and 4.0, and could save another 50 to 60MB.

Novell seems to have come to the conclusion that AppArmor might not be worth it’s money. At least they have dissolved the project and, as it seems, fired the team that has been working on it. The team around Crispin Cowan, one of the AppArmor-developers, said they won’t give up AppArmor, but it seems they […]

Rio Karma broke
I am now mourning the loss of my Rio Karma portable digital audio player which I have had for about 3 months. It’s 20GB with support for Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, and WMA. Unfortunately, it is quite fragile. I accidentally dropped it several times. After the first few, it skipped sometimes. One of the clips […]
