Connecting to Fedora’s X Server
Running Fedora and trying to connect to its X server, only to continue to get a can’t open display or cannot connect ot display?
Turns out Fedora has TCP connections to its X server disabled by default. I like how they default to more secure, but isn’t that what xhost is for?

Call me jaded, but here’s another attempt to solve the problem of link local discovery. You know, since Jini, JXTA, UPnP, Rendezvous, and others did it so horribly. Oh, I know… their downfall was that they didn’t use bloated SOAP! Ah ha! Luckily, we now have a discovery protocol that uses XML and SOAP. Can’t wait to try to fit all that XML into a single datagram.
I dig XML. But there might be a better way to ask “Is there a printer here?” than a huge SOAP message.

Programmers can get a lot of benefit from reading source code. You can’t simply tell people how to be good programmers. You can offer them some principles of good programming. You can describe some good design experiences you’ve had. But you can’t give them a real knowledge of how to be a good programmer. I believe the best way for that knowledge to be obtained is by reading code. Writing code can certainly help people become good programmers, but reading good code is much better.
Ars Technica: Linux.Ars (12/24/2003)
Welcome to this week’s edition of Linux.Ars. Today we feature a detailed description of one of the most important parts of the newly-released Linux 2.6 kernel: the scheduler. The new scheduler features several improvements over that in 2.4; we will not only explain the improvements, but also describe how the scheduler works and why these improvements are important.
Fortunately, the true nature of the Internet isn’t hard to understand. In fact, just a fistful of statements stands between Repetitive Mistake Syndrome and Enlightenment…
Welcome to the home of the Quit Slashdot movement.
Wonderful World of Linux 2.6 - Joe Pranevich
Although it seems like only yesterday that we were booting up our first Linux 2.4 systems, time has ticked by and the kernel development team has just released the 2.6 kernel to the public. This document is intended as a general overview of the features in the new kernel release, with a heavy bias toward i386 Linux. Please also be aware that some of the “new” features discussed here may have been back-ported to Linux 2.4 after first appearing in Linux 2.6, either officially or by a distribution vendor. I have also included information on a handful of cases where a new feature originated during the maintenance cycle of Linux 2.4, and those will be marked as appropriate in the text.
