Heard at the water cooler recently in my almost all Windows workplace was something that took me by surprise. We have a couple of highly trained individuals here in Networking. We’re a Cisco shop, so if you know how confusing that can be, you know that not everyone can just jump right into one of [...]
There are many changes on the horizon for rPath Documentation.
One of the things that team docs here has known for a while is that the rPath wiki is a fantastic tool to leverage for documentation. It’s quick. It’s easy. It allows engineers to contribute directly to the wiki. It allows community [...]
People flat out do not understand anything about Conary. What I hear the most:
Why another package manger? Isn’t there already too many of these out there? Why use Conary when I can apt-get? Apt-get is soooo much better. Dpkg gives you sooooo much more than anything could possibly give you. [...]
Is that Foresight Linux running a pre-pre-pre-alpha-alpha-alpha build of KDE 3.5.9 I see?
Those of you interested in helping us develop, package, or use KDE are welcome to join us in IRC #foresight-kde freenode. Plans are to build a 3.5.9 Stable version and wait until 4.1 is released to push out a 4.1 version. [...]
I saw that Lightning .8, a calendar extension for thunderbird, had been released and my heart jumped. Had they fixed the memory leak that forced me to abandon it in version .7?
I used to use Lightning for my google calendar in versions before .7…
When .7 came out, it caused Thunderbird to rocket memory usage above [...]

Even if you’re not a Foresight User and are just curious about the Conary System Manager, Software [...]
Last night, I decided to install RealPlayer onto my fresh Foresight Linux 1.4.X install. I’ve replaced my main workstation with Foresight due to convenience (I use it at work) and I use RealPlayer from time to time for videos and music.
No package exists for RealPlayer in the repositories, so head over to Real.com and [...]
My friend Og Maciel
originally introduced me to Openbox a while back and I’ve been using it ever since. I love the lightweight feel, the ability to customize and the center around having NO icons on my desktop. I don’t feel cluttered when I work! I published a version of this tutorial/how-to on [...]
My main job here at rPath, Inc. is to document our technologies via the rPath Documentation Wiki. For this wiki, we use a Mediawiki Appliance. For those that don’t know, the “appliance” I refer to here is a software appliance…something rPath technologies make easy to maintain and create. For more information see [...]
Here at rPath we use our own Mediawiki appliance for documentation (what is a software appliance?). While this is an excellent way of getting things documented quickly (as wiki’s are) it is NOT a great place for community based questions to influx nor a good place for knowledgebase questions to be stored. Often, [...]
