The 6th ArchToad's Laws of Scripting

Posted 11-05-2009 at 11:25 AM by archtoad6

Preface
"Clarity, Brevity, Generality"
Paterned after the "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" of the French Revolution, these are the watch words with which I introduced a presentation on programming I gave to HLUG (H=Houston) about 4 years ago. I quote them here, 1st because they are appropriate, & 2nd because I want my copyright & other intellectual property claim on the public record.

I have strong opinions on programming, especially scripting...

If Gnome and KDE joined forces

Posted 09-18-2009 at 11:13 AM by archtoad6

Clonezilla Live

Posted 06-12-2009 at 04:29 PM by archtoad6

I lead the Samba & Network Administration SIG (Special Interest Group) at HAL-PC (www.hal-pc.org) here in Houston.

I recently followed a link to viruscomix in a post here @LQ, there I discovered a set of 10, so far, strips featuring "The Sphynx". The premise being how would the Sphinx of the OEdipus legend function in modern society. I wanted to keep a list of them:

_1 OEdipus Redux (oedipus redux)
_2 The Further Adventures of The Sphynx (not really)
_3 Friday Evening with The Sphynx (monsters playing poker)
_4 The Ongoing Further Adventures of The Sphynx (Sphynx IV)...

Tags grub, lilo, vga codes

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e-font-609125/ raises the issue of how do I set, at boot, the resolution of my consoles (tty's); not just during boot, but for afterwards too.
