In light of my recent (mis-)adventures with Fedora 18 installation in VMware Fusion and the need to figure out some systemd stuff, I've started writing a hints/tip sheet type entry on my wiki: Systemd. Far from complete yet, but I'm going to use it to document some hints …

I was thoroughly excited about Fedora 18 until I actually went to install it. I use Fedora 17 on a laptop and a desktop, but I also have copies in virtual machines that I use for testing -- these virtual machines run in VMware Fusion on my Mac Pro. So never …

I've been running an instance of my Nagios XI monitor in a VMware Fusion virtual machine on my (aging) Mac Pro. The other day I found a blog post on How I converted a VMware VM to KVM and since my new LAN server is a beefy 8-core AMD FX-8120 …

So I've been having to deal with some IPA-related bugs in the past little bit, which of course got me thinking that I had no idea what IPA did or how to use it (thankfully I wasn't responsible for fixing the bugs!). But as I had to deal with this …

    LimitXMLRequestBody 131072
    DavLockDB /var …

I'v been asked this question a few times over the last year or so, so I thought I would explain some of why you might see some issues on a Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system (or any other Linux distribution that uses prelinked binaries) when trying to track …

As I've been git-ifying some stuff around here, I've run into a few tips that might be useful for other git beginners.

The first is to setup some global options, some of which are nice for folks coming from Subversion. Having a global ignore file is useful. Mine has the …

Ok, so the last of my git-related topics today (I need to get back to washing windows, sadly).

I've pulled out AIDE+gpg and rsec from the Annvix tools subversion repository and they are now on github:

The next step, maybe for around Christmas, is to turn these into Fedora …

Well, that was pretty easy to figure out. As per my last post, I was going to try to break out the AIDE+gpg part of the Annvix tools subversion repo to be it's own git repo. It was scary simple.
