It’s a household appliances line that comes with a touch screen in all products, and the Operating System it runs is Linux.

The best part is that the source code is available[1] for everyone to download and play with it. Check the image below:

The link takes us to a repository page[1] that contains the packages and patches used in the development of the system that runs on the household appliances. Among the packages are the Busybox[2], the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries(EFL)[3] and Linux Kernel 2.6.31 [4].

After this, i think i found my household appliances

The Debian Administrator’s HandBook is a book written by Raphaël Hertzog and Roland Mas, two Debian Developers. It was originally  written in french, and now it has been translated into english.

You can browse the online version for free, or you can pay for it and get the paperback, or e-book version (in 3 formats: PDF, EPUB, Mobipocket)[2]

The book source is also available[3] for anyone who wants to contribute to the project.

With the book source available, we can expect a brazilian portuguese translation someday (as some people already commented on Raphaël’s announcement). As well as translations to other languages.

After watching it, people who don’t know what Linux is will have an idea of how it is done and what it can do.

As is said in VIM’s website:

VIM is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the de-facto Unix editor ‘Vi’, with a more complete feature set. (…)

VIM Adventures is an interactive way to learn how to use VIM. It’s a web game in which you have to use VIM commands to pass the levels.
If you want to learn how to use VIM, i recommend you to start by playing a game

Iceweasel is a fork Mozilla Firefox[1] with the following purpose :
1. backporting of security fixes to declared Debian stable version.
2. no inclusion of trademarked Mozilla artwork (because of #1 above)
Beyond that, they will be basically identical. (quoting Roberto C. Sanchez post in debian-devel mailing list)

Iceweasel’s (and Firefox’s) latest version, 4.0, was recently released[2], on Mach 22nd, and i’ve just upgraded Iceweasel 3.6 to Iceweasel 4.0 on my Debian Wheezy.

If you’d like to upgrade yours, follow the steps bellow.

1. Add Mozilla’s repository to sources.list
Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the repository’s address:

Even though it’s Squeeze’s repository, it worked fine on my Wheezy.
You can type the following command to add it:

2. Update packages list

3. Install Iceweasel 4
You can check the version of iceweasel with the command bellow:

Install it with the following command:

Wait for it to finish and happy surfing!

The following message was in /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.xxxx.log:

As said in eFreedom.com[1], it has something to do with IPv6. To solve this problem you’ll have to check if net.ipv6.bidv6only is set to 1/true:

If it is set to 1/true, you’ll have to set it to 0/false:

Then you can restart the tomcat6 service and it will work, but only while your computer is running, if the you reboot the system it will fail again.

To make it permanent you will have to make sure that the -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack option is set to true and is being added to JAVA_OPTS in catalina_sh() function, inside /etc/init.d/tomcat6. The line which does that is:

And that’s it.
