Shuttleworth Weighs in in IceWeasel
Eric Mesa | October 30, 2006
As you may have heard recently, Debian has a problem with Firefox due to the fact that the artwork is not released under a free license. This is an extension of problems they’ve had with GNU’s documentation and the clause that allows some parts to remain uneditable. So Debian has forked Firefox into [...]
Fedora Core 6 Review: Gaim 2.0 Beta 4
Eric Mesa | October 30, 2006
Fedora Core 6 comes with Gaim 2.0 Beta 4. Here you can see it together with the new Fedora Core 6 DNA-style background.
As you can see, things have changed quite a bit in the appearance of Gaim. The largest change to the GUI involves the availability which is now set by a bar [...]
My mother
Eric Mesa | October 30, 2006
If you want to know what the glue is that binds our family together, it’s my mother. She has worked tirelessly to ensure that we have built up the relationships we need in our family. Always working, it’s pretty rare to see her just slacking off. But then again, that’s what’s made [...]
A few fixes to the site
Eric Mesa | October 29, 2006
I realized the Monty Hall PHP program I had written didn’t really have any kind of description of what you should do on the page. So I went back through my blog and found the description and fixed that sucker up. So if you went there in the past and didn’t get what [...]
Butterflies
Eric Mesa | October 28, 2006
This butterfly was extremely hard to capture on camera. It kept fluttering away. But I got these great shots plus one more on my flickr site.

Compiz WORKS!
Eric Mesa | October 26, 2006
All I had to add, apart from what I mentioned yesterday was:
Load “extmod”
to the Module section of xorg.conf.
Although others have derided it, I think it is an AWESOME addition to Fedora. It really brings the desktop to the eye candy level of Mac’s OSX. A lot of the eye candy is also [...]
Fedora Core 6 update
Eric Mesa | October 25, 2006
I’m almost ready to do my first review of FC6. However, I’m still working on getting all the neat AIGLX effects working. After all, that was almost the whole point of upgrading. So far I’ve installed the Compiz package, which gave the the System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects menu. That [...]
Absolute first impression of Fedora Core 6…
Eric Mesa | October 25, 2006
it is FAST! OMG is it fast! They weren’t lying about the optimizations with the latest GCC! It loads into Gnome so much faster than it used to and all the programs launch much faster as well!

I now have Fedora Core 6 installed
Eric Mesa | October 25, 2006
The new version of Fedora is installed. So far, only the X server didn’t work right. It didn’t feel like supporting my dual head setup, so I’ll have to investigate that over the next few days. Other than that, it appears to have installed just fine. By the way, it didn’t [...]
BitTorrent’s Legality begins to be recognized!
Eric Mesa | October 25, 2006
BitTorrent – up until now, mentioning legal uses of the program was likely to garner snickers from your audience. Afterall, it’s just for downloading music and software illegally, isn’t it? Actually, for the past few years, it’s been the way that most people download their completely legal copies of Linux operating systems. [...]
Installation notes 2
Eric Mesa | October 24, 2006
The actual installation process began at 2110, so it took about 10 minutes for the dependencies. This part now tends the be the longest part. At times, it even seems to be frozen – at least that’s my experience for all prior upgrades/installs. We’ll see how this one fares.

Installation notes
Eric Mesa | October 24, 2006
The new DNA theme is beautiful. I have dua head setup and the second screen is showing garbage as when a Nintendo cartridge was broken.
I selected an upgrade install and to update the boot loader configuration. At 2100, it begins checking dependencies in packages……
