Linus in Utah

Last //year I went to brainshare of Novell in .... Utah. "Somehow" Novell didnt ask us this year. I wish I was in Utah though. Novell is becoming rather cool with ximian ans suse.

And to top things off, Linus was at the Keynote speech. See the //ram file and go to 1h13m. Between the YAST/ximian/ifolder/redcarpet demos see Linus having fun (1h:44m) while throwing tshirts.

Btw: It wouldnt hurt to see the rest of the show!

Networking (debian)

Nothing new I might hope for a network wizzard. But if your IP knowlegde is rusty or want to learn about CIDR and the likes, check this site out

SSL VPN's? Why TCP over TCP is a Bad Idea

A frequently occurring idea for IP tunneling applications is to
run a protocol like PPP, which encapsulates IP packets in a
format suited for a stream transport (like a modem line), over a
TCP-based connection. This would be an easy solution for
encrypting tunnels by running PPP over SSH, for which
several recommendations already exist (one in the Linux HOWTO
base, one on my own website, and surely several others). It
would also be an easy way to compress arbitrary IP traffic,
while datagram based compression has hard to overcome efficiency
limits.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work well. Long delays and frequent
connection aborts are to be expected. Here is why.

Very Important Things

Old pictures with funny remarks. Cant describe it better, see for yourself the //very important things.

Gadget for newlyborn?

So when our child will be born around 2/june (knock on wood everything will be okay), will he/she get a //comfyland tool from my friends?

A //baby tux tshirt? Or a //big tux of 1 meter? Mhhh, I want (my child to have) a huge tux. :-)
