It is a blog made up almost solely of Orthodox and Linux related items that I have Dugg™ at Digg.com™. Outside of Great Lent and Holy Week and I think perhaps a few days of my Nativity Family Vacation, I have posted at least one Digg™ per day on this site since the first day I began this blog. How have I managed that? I have blogged in advance. This means I would find a story that I Dugg™, and would set it to hit the blog’s front page at a future date. (This is why the time posted almost always matches they date posted too. I like synchrosity.)
These days I Digg™ far less than I used too and have stopped pre-posting and post in real-time with new Diggs™, so y’all might be interested in another blog I have recently returned to and now update rather regularly. It is called “Insane Thoughts … and Orthodox Ecclesiology” which I started in 2003 and must confess that in focuses more on the words before the ellipsis (…) and to be truthful they tend to be sane thoughts, so perhaps the name is misleading. The blog can be found at http://orthodox.blogspot.com, the same place it has been since it started.
So if you do not see any updates here, or you want to learn more about me visit Insane Thoughts … and Orthodox Ecclesiology today, or some day in the future when you are reading this. Of course I posted this well in advance of the date that this will actually appear too! LOL!

On an Apple/Mac LJ community I am a member of, I mentioned that a number of companies were running Linux on Apple Macintosh and other PPC computers.

Putin said he was suspending Russia’s commitments under the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty. Kremlin aides stressed that freezing the arms treaty was not a direct response to U.S. plans to station part of its missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic. Many of his new spending programs were seen as having a very distinctly Soviet flavor.

The story from the beginning of when Apple Computer, Inc. started letting 3rd parties sell Macintosh computers running Mac OS X and Linux, or in some cases, Linux alone. Why did they do this? It may be that Macs, particularly Apple’s PowerBook G4, have become commonplace at Linux events, such as the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco.

Like APT and Portage, Yum is a network-based package management system. You give it the network address of a repository that holds RPMs for your distribution along with appropriate Yum metadata. Thereafter, Yum can quickly check for new and upgraded packages, install packages by name without tedious CD-shuffling, and even update your entire system.
