If you are on FreeBSD 7.0 and have problem booting up HeX LiveCD with qemu, try this

kldload aio

and add -std-vga option to qemu command line. For example:-

qemu -boot d -cdrom hex-i386-1.0.2.iso -localtime -std-vga

Have fun!

Well, it seems like people like to mess around with Ubuntu logo. Some of them are creative, hilarious, and offensive in the eyes of Ubuntu users. PLEASE PARDON THE PUN. DON’T HIT ME! Especially Ubuntu-my meetup is just around the corner. Please don’t ask me for the author of those images. These are just some of the images that I came across on the net.

WARNING!

Rated 18SX: The images might contain non-excessive sexual element and they are only for viewers of age of 18 years old and above. :p

Malaysian Distributed Honeynet Project led by Spoonfork was accepted by The Honeynet Project as new Chapter on the team. This was a good head start for all of us and I hope our team could work harder.

I have been using FreeBSD on Compaq Presario V3417AU notebook for quite sometimes and did not bother/forgot to post the setup notes and until few of my blog visitors dropped me query emails on Compaq presario V3000 series + FreeBSD 7. If you are looking for post on Compaq Presario V3010AU, you can find it here.

Like Compaq V3000 series, V3417AU comes with a layer lamination, subtle looking pinstripe patterns on the chassis, which ensures greater protection from scratches. As usual, I don’t pay for M$ Windows licence as the unit comes with FreeDOS preinstalled.

Every business wifi today, every individual in wireless internet coverage, now that is what I call a sprint wireless world. There is easy access to wireless internet service today. With a wireless internet cafe sprouting in every street overnight, it is not a wonder. We now not only have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but a wireless printer and scanner as well.
