It’s been a while since I started using Org-mode. Like four months or so. When I discovered it I knew I would blog about it sooner or later, but I didn’t want to rush things.
Before writing about it, I wanted to give it a run to see if it could be of any help to [...]

It is no secret that our Cherokee-Project Community has been growing steadily and relentlessly over the last couple of years. In fact, it has been doing so well that we’ve reached a point where holding a conference about the project actually makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have been asking about this, [...]

Alvaro an I have been putting together a screen-cast to show an overview of Cherokee-Admin’s capabilities. It is just an introduction, but I think this kind of thing is really helpful to spread out the word about Cherokee’s multiple merits.
We wanted to brag about our little baby. After all, not every serious web server out [...]

No, don’t worry. I’m not going to play with you and expect you to work for free as my personal advertisement company. I have to recognize that I’m astonished that Microsoft got away with it with all it’s Windows 7 craze, which once again proves that there are lots of guys out there that outsmart [...]

I’m sure plenty of sites will talk about it, so I’ll keep it short. Precisely 18 years ago, Linux was born. I’m told Linus -nicknamed Linux back then- wanted to call it Freax, but it didn’t stick.

A friend of mine just asked me for help with his new laptop. He wanted to try out Jaunty, but got stuck with a couple of show stoppers: no WIFI and no sound. The hardware is already supported in newer releases of ALSA and the Linux kernel, so 9.10 “Karmic” will probably run flawlessly with [...]

Lately I’ve been wanting to buy a netbook. I’m not an impulsive guy when it comes to buying new gadgets, so I have been postponing the moment. But having an unexpensive, semi-disposable system laying around can come in quite handy.
I mention this because the time to buy is getting closer and closer, and yet I’m [...]

Previously on UnixWars …
I said in another post that I would be using a Thin Client as my home server. The machine is fanless, diskless and it makes no noise. The system boots from a low power Compact Flash. After setting things up, some friends decided to buy the exact same machine, so I’m [...]

Do you have a server at home running 24/7? Having permanent access to your home network can be very useful at times, as is sharing media and printers, or managing your downloads. My last server was actually a downgrade from my previous box in computing terms. It was no powerhouse, but being a fanless Epia [...]

It has been a while since my last post. Some rough month this has been, oh boy. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that we have released the new and improved Cherokee a couple of days ago.
Since the project has advanced so much over the last months, we have decided to boost the release [...]
