Nog eens meegedaan aan het groot dictee der Nederlandse taal; aartsmoeilijk deze keer, maar wel gelukkig met de oudere spelling. Dat had blijkbaar geen invloed op de algemene trend : Vlamingen scoren beduidend beter dan Nederlanders die een gemiddelde halen van 44 fouten. Petje af voor de winnares (Vlaming, natuurlijk) met een uitstekende score van slechts 4 fouten. Zelf deed ik het redelijk goed gezien de moeilijkheidgraad, met een 35tal fouten. Martine deed het iets slechter met 48 fouten, wat haar de onsterfelijke uitspraak ontlokte : "Ik ben verdorie nog stommer dan een Hollander !" :))

After Kai Hendry 'nuked' his Debian unstable system by a simple upgrade, he decided to put up a wiki page which lists the status of unstable. An interesting page you might consult before upgrading your system. I have had my share of unstable problems too, but after checking the Bug Tracking System I often quickly found a solution. Of course, you could install 'apt-listbugs' too, which will print a summary of all RC-bugs before each upgrade.
Oh yes, I've encountered 3l33t leenuks idiots on IRC too, on both camps (Fedora and Debian), but luckily there are still lots of people willing to help you out.

What should I read next ? is a database of favourite books, and will suggest which books you can read based on your perferences (in this case, a given author and/or title).

I never fancied JK Rowling's Harry Potter books : too dark, too much Roald Dahl alike. However, Potter has taken over the world by storm, and for all those mage-apprentices out there, here's the Harry Potter lexicon, with a collection of magical spells and maps. So now you know again what your children are talking about.

In my first post about Linux on the Medion 8800, I noticed that the Debian/unstable drivers for the NVidia card wouldn't load, bailing out with the error message Unknown symbol register_ioctl32_conversion. Using the experimental nvidia-7676 drivers, everything compiled nicely, and the module loaded without any problem. If X.org refuses to start, spewing out a message about not being able to find the module, that's because you need the nvidia-glx package.
