BSD for girls (Women BSD group on LinkdIn)

Hey boys take care! Women are taking over the ship! :)

“…Deanna Phillips, an OpenBSD developer, recently started a BSD Women LinkedIn group… The group is also open to men in the BSD community who would like to show their support for women who hack BSD. …”

nostalgic BOFH

In a deep digging over some of my backups, I found this foto taken by me with an old webcam when I was 20 years old and started working as UNIX SysAdmin here in Lisbon, great days :)… An young rebel BSD addited to the bones BOFH who loves to remove luser accounts massively ahahah :D

Young BOFH

I still the same person but now I dress some “as they call” “smart casual clothes” :( and yes I still love to remove those accounts haahah

Today I’m working with some legacy systems and I just remembered when I had my hands on systems like Irix, SCO and Netware…funny days and stressing too :/

Innotek, Sun and Virtualbox FreeBSD Port

 Great news for FreeBSD and virtualization fans!

Innotek which was recently acquired by Sun,  is looking for developers to help porting VirtualBox to FreeBSD. I’m not to much worried because I “abuse” of FreeBSD Jails and I have no need to virtualize any other operating system under any of my FreeBSD Box. (well, until now) But in fact I think is always a plus to have as many options as others have!

The community already has a simple port of it but that must be completed they say!

after all… best friends :)

FreeBSD ‘Quartly Status Report’ (10/07)

Como um relógio Suíço aqui temos o FreeBSD Quartly Status Report à maneira!

De entre os inúmeros tópicos, irei salientar e comentar aqueles que pela sua importância ou porque de alguma forma estão mais ligados ao meu dia-a-dia, me parecem mais interessantes.

Projects

Kernel

Userland

Ports

E claro, nota-se que fico contente sempre que acabo de lêr um Status destes!

‘Long live *BSD’

PS: Ao que parece há Tugas em várias branchs de BSD’s

Depenguinator is back!! Be afraid!

“Run and Hide” or you will lose your Linux box without notice :D

Tudo começou há coisa de 3 anos quando este senhor Colin Percival lançou este email para uma das muitas listas de correio do FreeBSD .

“As you are all aware, many computer systems around the world are possessed by evil penguins. It would be nice to exorcize these evil spirits, but this can be difficult if we don’t have physical access to the machines in question.”

Beasty does Linux

Basicamente com apenas uma floppy disk e uma mão de comandos na consola, podesmo “matar” o nosso querido Linux remotamente e no próximo restart, “voi lá” FreeBSD in the house! :D

“há coisas fantásticas não há?!”

Bem depois de tanto tempo parado os updates estão ai para poder “falar” com a nova estrutura do sistema do FreeBSD, que entretanto tinha mudado no decorrer das versões.

E por fim o Depenguinator 2.0 e a antiga versão apenas para registo Depenguinator.

Boa matança!! :)

FreeBSD 6.3 Release is out!

As a friend of mine says “This is fucking Great!” :) and yes I do totally agreeThis new FreeBSD Release is dedicated to a person who as give so much to many of IT communities all around the world.

“…dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro Hagino, known throughout the Internet community as itojun, for his visionary work on the IPv6 protocol and his many other contributions to the Internet and BSD communities. …”

… FreeBSD Project doesn’t forget people! and some goodies of the super great system are :)

All great code comes back to FreeBSD from one way or another :)”

and many more things… so… let’s rock with it :) do it with fun :)

From FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8 to 7.0-BETA2 and back to 6.X

…all in one night babe…

heeheh I am laffing very much just for reading this title :), don’t get mad, don’t get impressed. I do love FreeBSD 7.0 and it sugar :)

What I am talking about it has append last friday night. I was installing a new “big storage server” named IRONMAN <- (wtf!) :D, with FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 and after installing it, building it’s world and kernel, I put it in a gmirror (well just 2 of it 8 hard drives), because the other 6 are(were) for (wana guess?), ZFS… but… at 4am, I got a Kernel PANIC. Me stressed because the situation, and mad because this is not my way to do things, I just did it :). I took the 6.2-RELEASE CD and installed everything from scratch and the peace of mind and spirit came to me again :) Yes folks its hard as a rock, its stable as a humm (something super stable here), and it’s working as a swiss watch :).
Regarding ZFS well maybe in December I update this server.

“BSD admin study guide”; get ready for certification!

Once again I am writting another “*FreeBSD*”:http://www.freebsd.org related post! _Great !_ :)Two weeks ago a small team of individuals (about 30 great ones), started writting a “*BSD Administration study guide*”:http://bsdwiki.reedmedia.net/wiki/.

This guide is based on over 100 objectives as published by “*BSDCertification.org*”:http://www.bsdcertification.org/BSD Group, in 2005. ”*_”Wanna contribute?!”_*”:http://bsdwiki.reedmedia.net/wiki/contribute.html

FreeBSD ZFS “port” 98% done, says Pawel Jakub Dawidek

“Pawel Jakub Dawidek”:http://blogs.freebsdish.org/pjd/2007/01/28/zfs-progress/ says:

“…
The port is almost finished. Something like 98% functionality is implemented and work…”

“…The remaining part I coded today was readdir functionality for GFS. GFS (Generic pseudo-FileSystem) is Solaris framework for virtual file systems. ZFS uses this framework to create .zfs/ directory where snapshots are placed…”

The development of new features it’s appening very fast!
This sounds really great :D.
