Logitech USB headset & Ubuntu/Linux

My wife had an unused Logitech Stereo USB Headset 250 kicking around the house that I took into the office today. Joy of joys! Ubuntu/Dapper recognized it and both the headset *and* microphone work out of the box.

Just like Microsoft Windows ;-)

Democracyplayer on Ubuntu/Dapper

The good folks at GetDemocracyNow.com provide debian packages for Ubuntu/Dapper, but didn't get the dependencies quite right. After intalling the two democracyplayer packages from their Ubuntu download page, I needed to also install the following packages:

$ sudo apt-get install libboost-python1.33.1 libgtk-mozembed-ruby mozilla-psm

There is a ton of great content!

Some notes from GNHLUG on SELinux

Last Thursday's Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group topic was "SELinux for Dummies" by Red Hat's Dan Walsh. I took some notes but had to leave at 9pm and they were still going strong. See http://nozell.dyndns.org/wiki/index.php/SELinuxForDummies

netnation.com mail down

It has been almost 24 hours that email has been down at the hosting company netnation.com -- the tech support guy said they are using some in-house mail package (CSR?) and it should be fixed by *tomorrow*! Ugh.
