Lenny Frozen!!! (On July 27th)

No doubt this is good news for Debian users worldwide. Lenny 5.0, the next stable release, has been frozen. This means that no new packages can be uploaded to the servers and that developers will concentrate their efforts in fixing critical bugs.

Lenny is scheduled for September 2008

A bit too late maybe ...

I'm not sure any of you have noticed yet, but this month I have improved the English activities section by including print-outs of all the interactive activities, this way students can easily print the activities to carry them anywhere (the swimming pool perhaps???)

Anyway it's an excellent idea.

I just couldn't help it!!!

Only two weeks after getting my eeepc I wiped it out and installed Debian lenny with the help of Debian Wiki. Nothing like pure Debian inside!!! They provide a nice network installer of appoximately 13 mb that you can copy into a pendrive and boot from it.

I have been trying it for a couple of weeks and everything seems to work just fine. I think that Lenny has not yet been frozen but I suppose it is about to in a few days. Here is a screenshot of lenny in the eeepc.

It's so cute!!!

No blog entry for weeks, I know. But I've recently bought an ultra portable, an Asus eee and it's such a nice toy that I just can't give it up.

It ships with a linux distro called Xandros which is based on Debian. I have been playing with it quite a lot and what impresses me more is its integrated wifi card. It detects nets from a long distance.

It's my birthday!

A huge thank you to all of you out there who have sent me a message wishing me a happy day. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.!!!!

Well, not many interesting things today. Only that I didn't feel like writing any blog entry in the morning nor in the afternoon. But strangely enough I'm doing it right now when I'm supposed to be more tired than before. I may be turning into a night creature. Gosh!

There is only one thing that I would like to comment in relationship with computers. You know that I fell in love with pendrivelinux 2007 version based on Debian Etch. I enjoyed it a lot and still do. I carry it everywhere I go. But today I have switched my love to Debian live. A project I have followed from the very beginning. Today I have downloaded and tried the Lenny release. And it works just perfect. What a great present for my birthday. Thanks to all the team at Debian live.

Keep up the good work!!! You are making history!!!

It has finally seen the light!

This week the 'Brand new chalsattack' has been published. To tell you the truth my intention was to start building it next year. This way I would follow tradition of new year, new site. But having a new domain name and a new hosting service was too much candy for me and to put it simply, I just couldn't wait.

I hope you like the new design, and the new sections. I'm especially proud of the English section because it's interactive for the first time. I hope to be able to improve it a lot more in the months to come.

Here is a screenshot of the process of making the site.

It's rocked, and ready to roll!!!

This is a screenshot of the latest version of chalsattack. The first one was issued in 2006, the second one in 2007 and this one in 2008. Is this one going to be the definitive version? No, I don't think so. I dare say that 2009 is going to witness the birth of chalsattack 4th. Well you never can tell ... we'll see what the future holds.
