new quake 2 install
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 23rd of November 2010 07:41:50 AM Filed under
If you've had difficulty finding a good binary that still works for quake 2 try Yamagi Quake 2. Just follow the instructions there cuz they work perfectly on modern Linux systems. Yipppeee!

Some site news
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 24th of October 2010 09:41:46 PM Filed under
In light of the malware scare yesterday, I thought it might be prudent to make sure everything else was up-to-date on security fixes as well. In addition, I've added a new theme for registered folks to try out.

Malware Warning (resolved)
Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 23rd of October 2010 06:53:53 PM Filed under
I have been informed that my site was producing malware warnings from Google. Google web tools reported that some malicious ads were possibly being served through my OpenX ad server. OpenX has been removed and the database deleted. tuxmachines.org is completely safe as are the google ads that remain.

Linux conundrums lately
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 30th of September 2010 05:03:03 PM Filed under
I'd been happily using Sabayon 5.3 past several months until one unhappy update. So, I went back to my Mepis install. Then I remembered why I had to move on from it. So with Sabayon 5.4, will my KDE desktop return to a usable state?

You may have noticed the lack of updates to the site past few days, and along with my apologies comes the explanation that I've been very ill.

If any have been wondering why things might seem a bit slow around here lately, it's because I haven't been feeling well. Hopefully things should be getting back to normal in the next coupla days. Thanks for your patience.

All hail the easy to use!

I've run Linux since before the turn of the century. I know Linux. I love the commandline. But after 10 years of fiddling, I've come to realize one significant thing.

KDE 4.4 Mail Misunderstanding Explained & Akregator Surprize
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 17th of February 2010 06:30:11 PM Filed under
I've gotten quite a few responses to my quickie look at KDE 4.4 under Mandriva written for this week's Distrowatch Weekly. One of which came from Aaron J. Seigo himself. I thought I might share some of what he said since several people expressed similar concerns on the topic here in comments. I also found one really super-duper neato new feature in Akegator in 4.4 that deserves a mention.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 23rd of January 2010 11:19:01 PM Filed under
Again I'm in the awkward position of having to apologize for my cable company and their failing service lately. Service went out this morning about 8:30 and didn't return until almost 4 this afternoon.

Downtime - connectivity issues
Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 15th of January 2010 07:00:50 AM Filed under
I guess you might have noticed we were offline today and the connection is still very spotty right now (will connect, but drops after a few seconds). There's a lineman supposed to come sometime tomorrow maybe, you know how that goes. I am sorry for the trouble and hope we'll be back up soon. Just keep trying. Don't forget about tuxmachines while we're down.

Feedburner is annoying!!!
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 19th of November 2009 03:52:51 AMI know a lot of folks use feedburner 'cause they either don't have feed software available to them or they like the way feedburner keeps track of who's subscribed and who looks at what when where... But for me their new links are pissing me off!!!
