Yay! Let the bikeshed painting discussions about version numbering begin (or at least re-start).

I decided to just bite the bullet, and call the next version 3.0. It will get released close enough to the 20-year mark, which is excuse
enough for me, although honestly, the real reason is just that I can no longe rcomfortably count as high as 40

linode Today I’ve activated a new VPS on Linode and worked all day to set it up to host linuxaria.com. Why Linode ?
First, it’s been suggested by some friends (thanks Guillermo), second I’ve found only good review on the net about them and third there are a lot of useful information on their (now our) community page.

Some features of Linode are listed here

I’ve started also the DNS transfer so in the next days there could be some small (hopefully) problems, but I’m sure that in the end the site will be much more reliable and fast than with the actual hosting company.

And this is some detail on my new setup: Continue reading »

The news today is that Microsoft ~~seem to be in the process of buying~~ has bought Skype for something around $8.5 billion.
So what will happen to Linux support for Skype ? No one knows it at the moment but I can imagine nothing too good, in the best scenario, that I can imagine at the moment, the new Skype servers are still open to Linux clients, but the support on our operating system is left back and over some time using Skype on Linux become almost impossible.

But perhaps it’s better to talk to something else…what do you know about XMPP/Jingle ? Continue reading »
