Debian Developers 7 Years Ago
May 23rd, 2007, 1 Comment
Today while looking for something else, I stumbled across a DVD with the “last archive” of my old personal website. On it were a number of photos from the 2000 Annual Linux Conference in Atlanta, and the Debian developers that were there. These were posted in public for several years. I’ve now posted all of [...]
And we’re off!

Yesterday afternoon, we started our information meetings with employees about our Linux on the desktop project. We’re underway on our migration. But before I talk about that, I need to back up and describe what the project is. We are converting approximately 80% of our 150 or so PC users to Linux desktops. They’re Debian [...]
Disk encryption support in Etch

Well, I got my new MacBook Pro 15″ in yesterday. I’ll write something about that shortly. The main OS for this machine is not Mac OS X, though, but Debian. I decided that, being a laptop, I would like to run dm-crypt on here. Much to my delight, the etch installers support dm-crypt out of [...]

The results are in. Bruce was removed from the board, and Josh Berkus, Neil McGovern, and Michael Schultheiss were added. (Neither Mako nor I sought another term.) Congratulations to the winners — I’m sure you will go far. I’m glad to see enthusiastic people around SPI and I’m sure you’ll do a great job.

How to solve “The following packages cannot be authenticated”
June 15th, 2006, 29 Comments
Users of Debian’s testing or unstable distributions may be noticing messages from apt saying things like: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! foo bar baz Install these packages without verification [y/N]? I noticed today that google doesn’t turn up good hits for the fix. The fix is really simple: apt-get install debian-archive-keyring apt-get update [...]
Debian From Scratch 0.99.0 Is Out
April 20th, 2006, 6 Comments
At long last, I’ve finally updated Debian From Scratch (DFS). For those of you not familiar with DFS, it’s a single, full rescue CD capable of working with all major filesystems, LVM, software RAID, and even compiling a new kernel. The DFS ISO images also contain a small Debian mirror subset that lets you use [...]
Rats, I finally had to make an upload.

Suramya Tomar has written a very nice tutorial on installing Debian from my Debian From Scratch images (or from DFS images you build yourself). Nice and thorough work.
