Chaos, Fashion and Hacker
Chaos
This happened last Friday class travel vacation 20hs I and some friends ministered at EIF on introduction to Linux. I would like to record again our thanks for all the support we received from the institution, represented by Prof. Plinio .
The course was redesigned during the week affectionately as "A chaotic and fun introduction to the Linux world," because instead of focusing on memorization of comandinhos, we try to show students how to fend for themselves, habituating them to use the manual and letting them comfortable enough to try.

Holiday Weekend # 2
Making a clean the house, I found an old journal where an old news said that Linux was starting to grow on servers and that IBM would start playing with the penguin (now without the umlaut!).
Gone are the old days ...
Ubuntu Eee on the Eee, Dark Side ...
Given that there are bunch of tutorials on the net about how to install various Linux distributions on the Asus Eee I was not expecting to write a post about for two reasons: first because I had more to do and secondly because I hate to go to Google search and find several sources with the same content, as happened this morning. I know it would follow the yellow brick road and all be happy.

Adventurers of the lost book
Recently I was struck by the need / desire to write some classes in C + + to abstract SystemV complications of IPC on Linux, but I'll tell that story later. The reason for this post is that in researching various sources I found myself again in excellent repository of online documentation tldp.org . There I found a book that was helpful called "The Linux Programmer's Guide" .
I was very surprised however to see that the book is not updated since March 1996, ie almost 12 years and is listed in category unmaintained. I had no doubts, I gathered some friends and we're trying to get permission to update the book.
Basically there are four steps that suggests tLDP to manage the permit:
- Try contacting the original authors;
- Determine if there is already a newer version of the book or other document covering the subject;
- Contact the tLDP to avoid duplication;
- Send to tLDP the document with the alterations proposed for review;
Interestingly, the second step was done first. In a search on the net, we saw that there were no references to the new title, except for a translation into Polish dating from 2000. At the very tLDP, we found no other documents that address the general programming environment for GNU / Linux on a single tab.
The second step was then the first (!?). We tried to contact the original authors B. Scott Burkett, Sven Goldt, John D. Harper and Sven van der Meer and Matt Welsh through the mail to the book itself and references to their names on the Internet.
So far have received no responses, whereas as expected, all the old mail contained in the book came back with a loving undelivered. It remains to wait for the emails obtained on the Internet can reach the correct recipients and return with good news. Until then we are hoping and preparing for a possible re-edition of "The Linux Programmer's Guide."
