  • Recommended hardware

    Here’s a useful list of chipsets (found on motherboards) that are documented. Since it’s documented, it’s easy to add support for them & the drivers are less buggy.

    If you really care about Open Source, contact the company & ask for hardware documentation/datasheets. We don’t want source code: we want freely available specs.

    (Signing an NDA is not an option, we also want to share what we know to other groups out there: *BSD, Linux, Haiku, Minix3 and many other groups in pure open source spirit)

    Intel:

    ICH7

    ICH8 mobile

    ICH9

ICH10
    

    CMD/Silicon Image
    

    CMD 648

    CMD 649

    SiI 680
    

    Promise:
    

    PDC20579
    

    PDC40775

ATI:

    IXP700/800 SATA
    

    Ethernet:
    
Realtek
    
Intel (complex and buggy)
    

    Wifi:

    (Still a work-in-progress)

  • Firefox 6.0

    logo firefox

    Ben, il fallait tester … car depuis Mardi une nouvelle version du navigateur de l’internet qui monte qui monte est dans les bacs. Personnellement, je n’ai pas vu de grandes nouveautés avec cette version coté utilisateur, mais quelques astuces pour les développeurs.

  • Je dis vi

    Ou plutôt vim, le fantastique éditeur de texte ! Il fonctionne quasiment partout, la version la plus simple s’utilise sur le shell. Il faut par contre retenir quelques commandes de base pour pouvoir débuter, et quelques commandes supplémentaires pour remplacer tous les autres éditeurs.

    Attention, ce n’est pas pour faire du WYSIWYG, amis cliqueurs … passez votre chemin.

  • Un serveur svn over ssh

    Tout le monde connait le fabuleux gestionnaire de version subversion non ? svn.
    > L’idée est d’utiliser le transfert de fichiers dans la repository via ssh cryptée.
    > L’autre contrainte est de ne pas donner un shell aux utilisateurs de svn.

    Ssh permet cela facilement: Go pour un Setup en 5min avec un serveur linux ?
