"ez430-rf2500 driver problems" kerneltrap.org/node/15941
Reminded me some old stuff:

* TI TUSB3410 chip is too universal for linux USB core,
this core might have a design flaw, developers don't agree;
(some time latter ez430-rf2500 uses chip in the different way)

After this message on LKML, i decided to start a web page about coding style
in C, that will be friendly for text processing, namely by `sed`.

Preliminary result are here: http://kernelnewbies.org/olecom

Well, I missed the month mark, but I guess I'll do the news thing.

It was an exciting news weekend. Synopsis, I'm single again, had to go to a funeral (not the same person), and an ex-girlfriend got married (again, not the same person). I'm not going to go into detail on any of that.

Linux: Linux VFS Documentation

Submitted by Kedar Sovani
on December 31, 2007 - 5:37am

This is a good way to start the new year!

For a long time now I have been planning to write up a documentation on Linux VFS. There are quite a few documents available on the topic, but my aim is to try and present the reasoning behind why things are the way they are. Many documents say what the "vfsmount" structure is, but very few say, why was the structure introduced, and what problem does it really solve (Discussed in a previous new article here).

This document is an attempt to address that. I have been spending bits and pieces on it since a long time now. It is far from being complete. Nonetheless, here it is in an as-is format.

http://linuxvfs.googlepages.com/linuxvfs.html

Hopefully I can find time to actively contribute towards this in the coming year.

If you have any suggestions/comments/corrections/documentations, please mail them to me at:

kernelMaker, ketchup, quilt and etc.

I'm attempting to create a user friendly kernel installation utility for people new to Linux. Currently it is a stubbed Perl script, with the beginnings of calling ketchup for "extra assistance." In the future I hope to migrate it to a "gui" framework so users can point, click and then reboot to test new kernels.

A new Interactive Linux kernel map could be useful for both kernel newbies and hackers. The map navigation is similar to one in the Google map. Identifiers in the map are links to the LXR. Wellcome: http://www.linuxdriver.co.il/kernel_map.

By that I refer not only to the Kraftwerk song, but to the endless amounts of crap I've been cleaning up from my hard disks. Why do I still have RPMs from the RedHat 6.2 days?

3 Reasons to Learn Linux Commands in Multiple Linux Distributions - Linux Training Online

Submitted by isibingo
on June 7, 2007 - 9:52pm

Are you just new to Linux? Are you confused about which Linux distribution to learn for your Linux system administration career?

Here's the great news! Linux commands are virtually identical from one Linux distribution (a.k.a.version, distro) to another.

So, when you learn a Linux command in one Linux distribution, you have learned that command for ALL Linux distributions.
