This document is based on the original recipe and pictures that I gave to my colleague Miguel Pérez Colino which he assembled in an internal company document and that he kindly translated for increased reach. Ingredients A bag of vegetables for paella (garrofón, Valencian white bean; ferraura y bajoqueta, Valencian green beans with pod) Rice bomba 🛒#ad (7 handfuls) Chicken and Rabbit (700 and 400 grams) Grated tomato (The equivalent to 5 spoons) Sweet Red Paprika Powder (Pimentón Rojo 🛒#ad) Spanish Saffron 🛒#ad (300mg in threads) or E102 dye (small spoon just to the border) Olive oil 🛒#ad to stir-fry (not much, so it doesn’t get oily) Rosemary 🛒#ad Salt Water (from Valencia) Preparation A garlic clove, to be grated, must be peeled and put together with tomato.

A few days ago, I was checking a friend’s system for backing up. It was based on rsync at the Linux side and rsync server on a windows machine he uses for storing information generated by other software. The solution with rsync worked pretty well for him until he started to put several strange characters in filenames which rendered the backup unusable to certain point. After being asked for alternative backup software that was available on several platforms, I’ve ended testing duplicity. ...

Today I’ve decided to give it a try to F15-prealpha (expected to release tomorrow). The upgrade performed in the unsupported way (getting and forcing install for newer fedora-release from a mirror then start issuing several yum upgrades) when reasonably good. Only some minor dependency problems et voilà, system started fine. Problems so far: Firefox 4 has a few approved extensions, I used the “nightly tester tools” to disable version check and enable most of the ones I had with 3.6.x without problems. Don’t like gnome-shell at the moment Desktop icons disappeared… Menu bar is black and found no way to configure it yet Gnome-applets have some dependency problems and can’t install or configure them, furthermore I lost my tray area on one of the computers but works fine on the other. I hope that tomorrow’s release of Alpha will fix some of them in order to warm-up for final launch (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/15/Schedule)… ...

Introduction A standard install media, (let’s talk about a DVD for easier start) has several files/folders at his root, but most important are: isolinux (where the loader lives) images (for extra files for installer to load) Packages for installation (RedHat/ for EL4, Server/Client for EL5) Usually, a distribution has, for its main binaries, more than 2 gigabytes of data, that enables one target to act as a multifunction server/workstation, but that you will not usually load on the same system. Furthermore, since the DVD creation, there have been so many updates/patches that make your installation a ‘outdated’ install that you’ll need to upgrade to have recent patches. ...

MiniDLNA provides an OpenSource DLNA server software that can index and present specific folders on your computer to DLNA clients on your network. Project at sourceforge is distributed as CVS code that you need to checkout and compile for it to work on your computer. I’ve setup a spec file that will allow you to create an rpm that has been tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 machine x86 for easing adoption among users. ...
