Lenovo X300

Marzec 22nd, 2009

W marcu 2006 roku kupiÅ‚em laptopa – IBM ThinkPad T42. Przez te trzy lata pracowaÅ‚o mi sie na nim tak dobrze, że w odstawkÄ™ poszedÅ‚ domowy desktop. WspaniaÅ‚a jakość wykonania, miaÅ‚ tylko jednÄ… usterkÄ™, okoÅ‚o pół roku temu pojawiÅ‚y siÄ™ problemy z matrycÄ…, ale to chyba po prostu „zużyÅ‚y” siÄ™ części — zdarzaÅ‚o siÄ™, że [...]

Ethernet bridging with OpenVPN on vserver-enabled host

Luty 3rd, 2009

Intro Openvpn’s ethernet bridging howto comes with simple setup scripts that you can use to bridge internal interface (e.g. eth0) with virtual one (e.g. tap0). Since standard system tools in PLD do not let you create tap interfaces, you have to care about creating one on your own. Hopefully you can use openvpn’s –mktun command [...]

One of our customers (who deserves a separate entry) runs a medium sized grocery shop. Recently we had to replace one of the computers [...]

PLD Ac — xen-3.0.2

Grudzień 28th, 2007

[en] Unless hawk or glen change their mind, kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU RPM packages should be available as part of official updates to PLD AC (ac-updates) real soon now. Those packages are in ac-ready now, and If I am not mistaken, all that needs to be done is to build all kernel-related packages for xenU (xen0 [...]
