Better filtered mail notifications

Note: this post is not about mail filtering but about getting better notified on mail that is already filtered. I will assume you have an understanding of bash scripting and how grep works. This includes modifying paths within scripts for your own environment. This is one of those hack together one job scripts.

Changing the default keyboard on Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD

Posted 10-30-2012 at 08:07 AM by avarus (Tim's Bio-Linux tips)

Hi,

This isn't a user tip - as you can probably see I didn't do very well keeping up on those. Instead here's a rather technical and long-winded commentary about what is going on regarding setting the default keyboard on the Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD, from a British perspective. This is important to me because I use the customised Bio-Linux Live USB stick image for teaching purposes, and I use it in UK academic labs. If the first thing I have to do in each course is to get the students...

Running a free Gentoo

Pi projects expand.

Found an Android image for the Raspberry Pi, but have not tested it.

Wanted to make a Raspberry Pi pc, but ran into legacy hardware problems.

Al Bell's legacy.

Posted 10-26-2012 at 12:01 PM by peonuser

Downloaded and ran CosmoPBX in a virtual machine. Was able to get ekiga to connect to it without a problem.

Mythtv box somehow had a capacitor broke partly off. Desoldered the cap and bought a replacement. Will have to install the new capacitor.

Finally got the raspberry pi. Made a power adapter that would use the power supply from the Nslu2 with a cheap one dollar micro usb adapter from Frys. That worked.

Install debian for raspberry pi. Installed a...
