gNewSense 2.1

August 25th, 2008 by kusut

Changes since 2.0 include:
- Linux-ubuntu-modules cleared of non-free blobs
- Usplash added, thanks to Jean
- New theme and artwork, thanks to Patricio, Briareoh and Leo
- Readded fix for module-init-tools for eepro100
- Builder: LiveCD no longer asks for password on sudo
- Builder: Added support for extra repositories in python-apt
- Builder: Various tweaks, fixes and improvements from Karl

Here’s a few words from the chief

I’ve just realised that tomorrow will mark the 2 year anniversary of our first release.
Accordingly, it’s somewhat appropriate that our 10th LiveCD is released today.

It’s strange to think that it’s well over 2 years since Paul and I started gNewSense. While I remain the main developer; many other people have contributed code, and many many more time and effort, to ensure that this distribution stays free and usable. We were the first for example to remove all non-free blobs from the kernel and also the first to remove GLX. Through all this work we have produced what is, to the best of my knowledge, the freest GNU/Linux distribution in existence.

I’d like to thank everyone for their help and support thus far, and look forward to the future of gNewSense.

Heh…the most “hated” removal had to be linux-ubuntu-modules. Glad to see it back.

Kroos, Marin and Bundesliga

August 21st, 2008 by kusut

I still remember the day Toni Kroos stole the Golden Ball award from Bojan Krkic (and shared the Bronze shoe with him). The tale continued. He began gaining experience in senior team. Most notable performance was saving his seniors from UEFA Cup defeat in Belgrade (some guy in the internet said “wow you have to depend on a teenager to save you from losing”). I got the opportunity to watch him live when his team came to my country(three assists and one cooly taken goal). But I still surprised to see him picked ahead of Borowski last week (if Ribery was fit, he would sat on the bench).

Enough about him. Now I’m gonna talk about Marin. A lot of fans were ecstatic when Low included him on last 26 men for last Euro. Too bad Low prefered the-speed-only-not-so-good-in-La-liga Odonkor. Here’s his output when given a chance.

One-two with Lahm … Link

The old school effective dribbling. I dont understand why kids nowadays drool over useless tricks on the pitch. One effective feint > one million stepovers per second (I dont hate stepovers, but players tend overdo it).

To end this post, I wanna say thanks to Global TV for their Bundesliga program. Compared to La Liga, EPL or Serie A, Bundesliga had the most goal scored in a season. Well I think that will continue, considering the goals galore on its first matchday last week. Tak kenal maka tak sayang.

IceCat 3.0 and Gnash 0.8.3

July 4th, 2008 by kusut

IceCat 3.0 was released days ago (development release). Here the link if you dont know what that is.

Source
Binary

If you have the previous version (2.0.0.13) compiled and installed, be ready to bust your balls uninstalling it, since it doesnt have “uninstall” target. Check its mailing list to do it properly.

Gnash 0.8.3 was released way before this. I heard it plays youtube now. I still have 0.8.2 on my system and rely on youtube-dl heavily.

I want to try both of them later and maybe write about it.
