My OperaAnother round for "Day of the Distros" - Also, A Few New Goodies
Thursday, December 11, 2008 7:32:17 AM
Updates for this blog -
1) I recently decided to change my photos. Why? PiklesOnFire is supposed to be a Tech thing. I don't want photos of myself up to reflect it, I'd like it to stay mostly anonymous.
2) I've decided on a new format for the blog, including, but not limited to, Updates for the blog, Updates for my current Distro, and Tech News. All of these sections will be seperated and labeled for easier navigation.
Updates for my current Distro -
Ubuntu Intrepid -
1) I haven't located a fix for my sound issue.
2) I also haven't found an exact fix for the suspend issue, which really bugs me. I have located this link, which seems like it might be very helpful to some, but none of the suggested posts worked for me. - Link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=720385
Tech News -
1) Well, as the title states, I'm redoing my "Day of the Distros". Why? Well, it essentially boils down to the fact that I didn't read enough about the distros I had tested before. Also a reason, is that I haven't had a "Day of the Distros" post on this blog, only on my myspace. Distros being tested this time include (listed in no particular order):
a) Arch Linux
b) Foresight Linux
c) OpenSolaris
d) OpenSuse 11.1 (yes a beta, but still going to test)
e) Pardus
f) Lunar Linux
g) Slax
h) Fedora Core 10
If that seems like a lot for testing, well it is. So much in fact that my "Day of the Distros" may not be a single day.
I'd like to give each of these an equal opprotuninity to prove themselves and I'd like to have adequate time to test each one. When I get done testing, You'll see a new post titled "Day of the Distros - Testing Results Are In". That post will have all of my findings. I may do a side by side comparison of each distro, but I'm not 100% sure about that yet. If there is something you would like to see notes about, please drop a comment to let me know, I will be compiling a list.
2) I'm rewriting the bash script I use for my backups in perl. This is mainly because of the extensibility of Perl vs Bash. So look for me to be posting that script up soon instead of the bash one I was originally going to post.
Well, that about sums it up for this post of Tech Blog.
Once again, thank you for reading and
Happy Hacking
