Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog: Between tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2
http://libera-cc.blogspot.com/2008/10/between-tar-targz-tarbz2.html
Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog. Monday, 6 October 2008. Between tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2. For a long time I have been wondering what should be the ideal compression when you copy a bunch of files over a local network. Today I copied a full ubuntu installation of 2 G over the network, piping the tar command into ssh. Tar - one-file-system -cf - . ssh user@backup " cd /restore & tar xf -". I measured the time taken with the time. So it looks it is the gzip compression which saves the more time.

Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog: August 2008
http://libera-cc.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog. Monday, 25 August 2008. FreeBSD compatibility added to libera.cc. Today we added the last missing pieces for the beta release of libera.cc. On the other FreeBSD is much more nicely documented, nearly every driver has a man page. Detailing the chipset that the driver is aimed at, and a list of commercial devices using that very chipset. Which makes finding what works in a much reliable way. So as usual there is a bit of good everywhere. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog: Next Ubuntu release will include 802.11n support
http://libera-cc.blogspot.com/2008/09/next-ubuntu-release-will-include-80211n.html
Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog. Sunday, 14 September 2008. Next Ubuntu release will include 802.11n support. I downloaded yesterday the ubuntu kernel source tarball to see which driver, the next ubuntu release. Will include, and I noticed with pleasure they plan to include linux 2.6.27. Although not officially released yet, 2.6.27 will included ath9k. A driver written by Atheros to support their last 802.11n chipset. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Libera: a hardware linux blog.

Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog: Embedded opensource does not need to be unix-like
http://libera-cc.blogspot.com/2008/09/embedded-opensource-does-not-need-to-be.html
Chips and bits: a hardware linux blog. Sunday, 21 September 2008. Embedded opensource does not need to be unix-like. Today while looking for some embedded Linux Hardware for libera, I stumbled upon Rockbox. Which is an alternative GPL firmware for a variety of MP3 players like Ipod, and Iriver. I found this project quite interesting because:. They support quite a number of device including mine ( iriver H340, one of the few MP3 players who supported ogg vorbis out of the box ).
