Some days things just go right. It’s been a while since that happened to me, hence the lack of posts lately. Well, that changed tonight… I decided it was high time to get a new printer. I have been using used HP LaserJets for years and my last, a LaserJet 5 was finally starting to […]
Nope, I am not talking about the curious little Madagascan primate, I am talking about the one from System 76! It has been a while since I have done a review, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working one up 🙂 At this past years Ohio Linux Fest I got to rub elbows with […]
I have this ISCSI volume mounted on a RHEL 5 system that is running out of space. How do you grow your mounted iscsi volume? Good question! * Unmount the volume. In this case it was /dev/sdb1 for me. umount /dev/sdb1 * Grow the volume size on your san/nas (however your san/nas does this). In […]
As many of you know, RedHat released RHEL 6 recently. I just finally got a chance to install the production version and thought I would share some of my immediate notes: RHEL 6 Installation Notes: (text/net install) No boot.iso available.

I have said before on several occasions that Sobell does really good work. Well, this holds true to my words. This is a big book with some 1250+ pages in it absolutely filled to the brim with useful information. The review on the front cover mentions that the book is “comprehensive” and that just might […]
I had the opportunity to check out some encrypted filesystem stuffs recently. The one that really stood out as easy to install. manage and use, for me, was EncFs. Now this post is mostly for posterity, but I wanted to share that, unless you are trying to get it running on RHEL, it’s pretty easy […]
We just mentioned on the last LinuxLink TechShow that we are starting a mailing list. Our intention is to provide a way to more easily disseminate information during the week to our listeners, have a place for some interesting conversation, ideas and help, and have a sort of virtual user group. If you would like […]
I was sure excited when I saw the announcement that there would be a Linux Mint Debian edition. For some time now, I have been excited to look over practically anything involved with Linux Mint. It’s no secret that it is my favorite desktop Linux. I grabbed the iso and set about installing it on […]
