Scottish Guy Earl Grey in Russia

By the way Earl Grey is good Ceylonese Tea which I love. When I Google, I get there to Tea and not this guy.

I haven't heard of him in YouTube for a long time and I browsed the Web and found him.

He looks older and his accent is now bit thick and he has adapted to Russia.

He is school teacher and he may be teaching English to Russians.

His description of Russia in 5 points.

1. Law and Order

2. Everything Works and in Order

3. Taxation is low, only 13%.

4. Borders are kept strict and for legal visitors only.

5. Common Sense 

Russian posses common sense.

In UK currently, over 5000 petty thefts a day.

I am glad I left UK in 1988. 

I am in Australia and it is thousand times better.

Evolution and Spread of Buddhism

Evolution and Spread of Buddhism
Before, coming to nuts and bolts of Dhamma, let me state few historical facts, some related to geography and some to language.
Word of Buddha reached China 700 years after Parinibbhana and was memorized in Sanskrit.
It reached Burma and Thailand 1000 or more years later, probably by sea route and was memorized in Pali,
Nepal or the Magada State is landlocked and Buddhism did not reach Tibet until 1200 years or more.
One should assume that all these countries had some form of a belief system and were not conducive, if not antagonistic to imported or foreign ideas.
China is a good example.
Things were recorded in Matale, Aluvihara in Ceylon 1700 years later, after the passing away of Buddha.
My point here is, with passing away of time and cultural influence and errors in memory chain, nothing called Pure Dhamma existed but colossal literature, that include Dhammapada, which gives an insight,  to the Teaching of Buddha.
What excited me was that the discussion on the Beauty of the Mind and its Behavior.
Every volitional action is related to the Mind and many years of me studying  Medicine did not prepare me to understand the Mysterious Nature of Mind.
Prudently, I postponed digging into Dhamma in my young years.
I bought a huge dictionary of Buddhism and it had more than 10 pages on the word Dhamma.       

From the very beginning, I knew, most of  the English and French translators got them wrong somewhere down the line, having not studied Pali in depth.
However, I have veneration for the German erudite who translated Pali into English and German. Not only that they initiated the opening of the   Buddhist Publication Society, in Kandy, Ceylon.
The Tibetan approach, I never liked and trying to become a Modern Buddha with the glamour of TV screens is an alien concept. After all, I hate China for subduing  Dalai Lama and invading Tibet for no reason other than economic and expanding its Silk Road Initiative.
I think Coronavirus was the befitting curse that befell on China for decades to come and its Silk Road dream of economic strangle will peter out, in real terms and in real time.
I hate Mao Zedong and Carl Marx for destroying thousands of years of Chinese Culture.
In that case,  President Putin is much wiser, who sticks to Orthodox Church.
The long preamble is essential and many Mahayana and Hinayana traditions are a utter waste.

Violence

 

Violence

It appears to me none of the religions except Buddhism abhor the violence that include self inflicted violence. What I mean is the suicide bombing in the name of religion or terrorist cause. Destruction of life whether it is self or otherwise and all beings is alien to Buddhism.

This is where Buddhism stand alone in high ground.

This is where we have to define the role of a suicide bomber in the modern society. There is no justification for the existence of similar entity and for that matter intolerance or discrimination of any human being for his or her, origin, class,creed,religion,race,sex or whether rich or poor.

We are at a cross roads.

There is alarming trend of religious fanaticism and atheistic views raising their heads.

This is where the Buddhist Moral Principles should stand erect and relevant. They are strikingly different from all modes of other religions where it is espoused that killing oneself for the sake of a religion or sect (there was a similar sect-Ishihara- in Japan),    is as the supreme sacrifice and results in being born in heaven. This is a myth we must dispel with utmost vigor.

This is happening in Ceylon too but for a different reason and goal. Labile children with childhood trauma are selected and indoctrinated to take life for a course which they themselves cannot enjoy in return. The fallacy of this inhuman misdemeanor has to be born clear of all religions. The religious leaders and dignitaries have failed in their duty and the present political systems, whether authoritarian, capitalistic, communist, religious or liberal systems have failed to deliver any form of organization except further division. Devoid of human values (we may call it moral principles) the perceived global village is collapsing.

Divine Abode

The four sublime states of mind described in Buddhist Psychology the loving kindness (Metta), compassion (Karuna), altruistic joy (Mudita) and equanimity (Upekka) are the very essence of humanity that is lacking in the modern world.

Why thesePaliwords do not have a place in Oxford or Webster's dictionaries is an indication how the world politics are shaped up in the current century.

There is no English synonym for Avihimsa (world sans violence) and that is how the Western Democracy has evolved. From Romans to modern day Mandela the way of dealing with crisis was absolute violence without recuperation. Only now there is some form of dialogue emerging but with western bias. Instead, hate, vengeance and violence are the operating themes of the world be that it may be terrorism or state sponsored violence sanctioned by the UNO.

The Suttas description of development of these supreme states is as follows.

"There, O monks, with mind full of loving kindness (compassion, altruistic joy or equanimity) pervading in one direction, then a second direction, then a third one, then the fourth one, just so above, below and all around and everywhere identifying himself with all, he is pervading the whole world with mind full of loving kindness with mind wide, developed, unbounded, free from hate and ill-will."

Thereafter he follows the same theme with compassion, altruistic joy and equanimity.

It is said that in this country there were hospitals caring for animals. The decadence that has set in our society and world at large has to be reversed. We must not let the politics, economics and business mechanisms to decide our future however powerful they are.

They are not the only stakeholders.

Silent masses without a voice is quite evident after the tsunami episode. We must be self critical of our failures. We must be mindful and expose the changes that is currently taking place globally due to unsustainable scientific and economic exploitation of the third world.

The Way Forward

The world and all beings big or small need kindness, compassion and freedom to live with dignity. Live and let live should be the only currency for the modern world and why all the religions and religious sects (except perhaps Buddhism) are failing to arrest these dangerous trends is the question the UNO should be asking itself?

Linux Freedom- Old Iso Site

Linux Freedom - Old Iso Site

https://linuxfreedom.com/mepis/download.html

It took two hours of trouble for me to find the Linux Freedom Site.

To begin with I forgot the name. 

I typed in Linux Wisdom which did not help.

Long before www.dictrowtach.com came into existence, this is the site where I go and look for Linux distributions.

Mandrake is one of the first distributions, I have used. An iso image is avaible at Linux Freedom site.

Mepis is there which is Debian based, one of my favorite because of its Graphic Step by Step Help when installing, the distribution.

Ultimate Linux is also there.

Byzantine OS is also there.

Even Google origin gOS is there.

All these distributions  are defunct but I need to mention these tiny winy bits, in my book "Linux Essentials" for completeness sake.

I think people should donate to this site, like what I said about FOSS when it was running into financial difficulties.

Thank YOU Linux Freedom for your old time help.

I am now completely Debian Guy.

Jon Hall and Peter Parfait were my Linux Gurus

 Reproduction

Jon Hall and Peter Parfait were my Linux Gurus.

I read a book by them called "Joy of Linux" in the same Style as "Joy of Sex".

Having read that I got rid of the "Fear Psychosis" I had on Linux.
I am reproducing on of his "Wisdom Thoughts" here.
I am using Linux utilities and figuring out to put his photo here.
Hope I will be successful.
The Raspberry Pi computer has rekindled interest in tinkering with hardware and created a market for products combining the tiny computer with customized software. 
By Jon "maddog" Hall

The format of the Photo was not accepted by Google, unfortunately.
 
Those of you who know me know that I designed electronics circuits in high school and then studied Electrical Engineering at Drexel University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Unfortunately during that career I was almost electrocuted by 13,600 volts and 800 amps (twice!). Fortunately I found software as much fun and a lot safer, other than paper cuts from ripping printouts. Back in those days electronic components were very expensive (US$ 128,000 for 64KB of core memory), so I took the software route and let someone else pay for the hardware.
I continued to be interested in hardware, and I even assembled my own computer from chips and prototype digital circuits with the use of breadboards, sometimes with wire-wrapping. Soldering tens of thousands of pins perfected my soldering technique, and you really don't want to know about the wire-wrapping.
About two years ago, I became involved with the Arduino, which has been a lot of fun, but my time with it was limited, and to me it was not a "real" computer because it did not run GNU/Linux.
Then I heard about the Raspberry Pi (RPi). This was what I had been waiting for: a US$ 35 computer that ran a real operating system and allowed you to tinker with electronics just as you could with the Arduino. In fact, people were using the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino together, which was even cooler.
The founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation are modest people who thought that only 1,000 very low priced computers would be enough for the world, and in doing so, they unfortunately created an imbalance between supply and demand. (Alas, many great visionaries underestimate their influence.) In fact, they took 100,000 orders before they shipped a single Raspberry Pi, and for many months, people who wanted them could only order one at a time with a 12-week delivery lead time.
Last September, just before Campus Party Europe in Berlin, I contacted the Raspberry Pi Foundation and asked if they would be willing to attend and perhaps give a talk or two about their wonderful machine. Not only did they send Alan Mycroft, one of the original founders, but they sent three enthusiastic graduate students and lots of RPis and bread boarding gear, and they even gave three hands-on workshops. I attended one of them and worked with a young "Campusero" from Spain who I thought was going to go berserk over the fact that his software could make an LED blink Morse code. Then, I taught him that pushing a button was not as simple as he thought when the button has key bounce.
Over the past several months, I have had the privilege to work closer with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, learning more about their history and dreams for the computer. I have seen people create the most interesting projects with it, and in some cases move beyond projects to selling actual products based on a Raspberry Pi with some customized software (e.g., a three-person ERP system for small companies).
At Campus Party Brazil, I also met another of the product's founders, Pete Lomas, whose tales of bringing the RPi to market reminded me a lot of my days back at Digital.
I also gave two talks at Campus Party Brazil on the RPi: one about the RPi in general and another about how to make a media center out of the RPi from really inexpensive components. Attaching an RPi to a VESA-equipped monitor could create a very powerful, low-cost thin client/media center for digital inclusion. It has no fan noise, uses very little electricity (3W when idle), and has no moving parts to wear out.
Most refreshing was the real desire to keep the price of the RPi as low as possible yet still deliver enough compute power to students who want to experiment. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has now shipped more than 1 million units, and they are set to deliver another million this year; however, I think they might need to manufacture 2 or 3 million.
Another thing I like about the RPi is the number of different Free and Open Source operating systems that have been ported to it (including Firefox OS) and the number of cottage industries that are building up around it – cases, an online magazine driven by the community, bread-boarding packages, and other add-ons.
Every once in a while there is a "step function in fun" for computing, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation has hit a home run. If you have not investigated it, particularly if you are part of a school or university, I suggest you visit their website.

Ten (10) or more things I would like to see happening before the end of 1012

 Posted on September 18, 2011

Ten (10) or more things I would like to see happening before the end of 1012

Ten (10) or more things I would like to see happening before the end of 1012.

Some saints are predicting end of the world by 2012 but I have a few predictions and I would like to see some of them happening before the end of 2012.
I will list them here first and would enlarge upon them on a future date depending on the time at my disposal.

 
These are made without any attachment to any country or state or company at large.

 
The concept I would like to develop is that there should be greater good to the average person on the street or is born every 7 seconds or so  to this World / Century with IT industry expanding and penetrating into every corner of life from medicine to agriculture to information technology.

Everybody enjoys music.

Similarly everybody loves reading a magazine or daily paper.

Both have become part of our lives.

Cellphone is universal now.

Information and its technology is no different.

Information should not be concentrated on few rich countries nor few rich companies nor a few rich guys/girls.

When O.L.P.S (One Laptop per Child) came up everything possible was done to kill its impact in its infancy by the rich and the powerful.
Unfortunately credit crisis and debt crisis came in at the same time and put a powerful lid around spread of information to the poorer countries and copyright laws and similar instruments are used to keep the knowledge hub in the hand of vested interests.
This cannot go on for ever, if we have a defunct Organization called United Nations Organization.
U.N.O does not think that Linux exists but only Microsoft and Apple.
Unite Nations does not even have a Language Policy now.

Only English is dominating.

I cannot go there and address an audience in plain Sinhala but Linux and Debian/Fedora can do that without the support of UNO.
Linux Community has done a lot to World Languages much more than the White Elephant U.N.O.
Vatican uses one Linux computer and U.N.O does not have even one from the statistics available currently on the Web.
This organization should be closed for good since the end of the world is already predicted by the saints and Maurians.

If not me American politicians think so and would not like to spend money running this organization except their interests.

What I state here should come from U.N.O or W.H.O but the guys and girls there are only interested in Human Rights of some godforsaken countries deprived of every possible avenue of help; from poverty, hunger to malnutrition and exploitation of rich mineral sources by corrupt rulers and administrators who come to power or attempt to come to power by not so democratic means  or by shear deception (L.T.T.E and their backers included).

It is true that a few western countries which dominate the world  of IT industry.

That domination should end, sooner than late.

1. In my list Apple Mac comes first.
Its domination with its pricing scale should come to an end sooner than late. 

It should be affordable if not it should be replaced by similar applications.
Could alternatives fill in?

Yes Linux can do that.

2. Domination of Microsoft should end.

It is already happening thanks to its own creation of wealth around itself.

Linux has already made inroads and has enough weaponry to offset any more exploitation..

But windows 8 has already gone paranoid.

3. Domination of IBM in high tech area should be squeezed especially its classmate kits for rich kids.
It can be done easily with tablets and anti-androids that come from the Asian continent.

4. Google will kill itself by following policies similar to Microsoft in its Android (Linux inventions tampered with minor details) manifestation.

5. Intel’s domination should end with alternative chip making and it’s already happening.

There are alternative chip manufacturers.

If I am attacking all the powerful companies is there anything left to fill the gap.

Yes there is enough.

6. Amazon should step in.

Its kindle, its publishing arm, its cloud services and powerful marketing philosophy should move forward and take the lead and stretch its arm all over  the world including China and India.

This should come before U.N.O declare human right violation in China.

In India Human Right Violations including rape happens everyday.

Nobody talks after IMF incident.

Yes it’s an American adventure but it does not matter if it is doing the right thing at the right time for the children of the world and ordinary masses.

I hope the CEOs there make the right decision for this century and be proud after 100 years from now.

Amazon had been doing a silent service.

Its cloud service going to be the next important thing that will change how things should be shaped up right now.

We must not let Oracle with its powerful database machinery to take over the IT industry with other selfish collaborators.

7. Cloud computing is going to shape up everything from year 2012.

Linux has developed all the tool kits.

It looks like rich companies are going to hijack all the innovations that came from Linux.

We must put an end to this.

There are over 100 very good Linux distributions out there.

If we let the current trends to dictate about 10 companies will determine the wealth of information while Mr Bunki Moon and Mrs.Pillay are dabbling with human right issues while allowing USA and UK going unscathed.

The 10 or so companies are gearing  readily albeit  slowly to strangle the whole world economy.

Nobody in the U.N.O speaks.

Those human rights issues are carrots to donkeys, issues when compared to what you see how things are shaping up in the West in the IT industry.

I am here with Richard Stallman.

What free software and Linux achieved over the last 20 years will be used by these few companies and become much more richer.

There are 10 Linux distributions for each exploiting company as it is now. 

They should divert their resources to take up the challenge and cloud computing seriously.

Ubuntu One is there.

CloudUSB and JoliOS are also there both Ubuntu derivatives.

Then there is Mobilin derivative MeeGo.

Why can’t the other distribution take some lead now?

8. What can the China do.

It can do a lot.

It can flood the market with tablets with anti-androids.

Its space industry (GIS -  Global Internet Service) should take over the Internet service sector and cloud computing.

India cannot contribute anything to this scenario since they are taken for a ride by the American companies and American interests.

Mind you Chinese use graphic language unlike English which is words language.

Graphic language is far superior in the tablet and cloud industry.

Even the people without English knowledge can use the technology  with graphics and charts included without reading a word.

This is where Chinese innovation and invasion is good for the world economy.

India is not ready and that is the biggest advantage for China.

9. For over 100 years what we used were slate and slate pencil.

Instead of the slate and the pencil, tablet, the mini-version of the portable computer and the cellphone alternatives will be the game changer from 2012.

Governments providing obsolete printed books Sri-Lanka included will be the thing of the past very soon.

What is preventing is the cost of the (O.L.P.S for example) O.E.M.

Tablet will change everything from communication to way we teach and learn.

Is U.N.O ready.

Not at all UNICEF is dead now and only a concept.

Only hindrance is the speed of the Internet.

Moment this barrier is broken like the sound barrier of the last century, everything will change.

The game changer has come to live but U.N.O is sleeping with it Mr. Bunki Moon.

It will be sooner than we have anticipated.

More satellites and fibro-optic connections will take IT industry forward.

We Sri-Lankan do not have a satellite of our own even  though the country is placed in a superior position in the Geo-Space.

10. What is necessary is training of personnel to take over the this challenge but that is where we are the slowest and the laziest.

There is a lot of resistance to change.

That is the human nature but few powerful companies are pushing us towards this goal whether we like it or not.

But U.N.O is sleeping.

We must be ready with alternative strategies as well as alternative technologies.

Linux can provide it. 

Its Community Spirit is more powerful than the USA or the sleeping U.N.O.

Already 95% of the industry depends on Linux.

We must not let 10 or more companies to take the copyright ownership of the Linux achievements.

This is specially so because U.N.O is sleeping on big capitals.

I hope this piece of writing is also a game changer.

What if one wants to try Linux?

 25-07-2013

 

What if one wants to try Linux?

 

This is a short recipe but the steps are far too many.

1. Decide what one needs

List the utilities one needs

Web browsing using only a cloud utility

Anonymous web browsing

Needs a word processor free of copyright, for example LibreOfiice

Needs a photo editor

Video/Audio player +++++

2. Decide on the CD/DVD image (DVD is preferable) of the distribution

3. Download preferably a torrent file which checks the file integrity and checksum

4. Decide on the hardware Laptop (never use a secondhand laptop) PC or self assembled PC.

Old secondhand PC computers with updated RAM (minimum of 1 GIB is my recommendation) with a graphic card of 256 to 512 MB is a good choice especially if it is the spare computer one is going to use it as.

On board Ethernet card is mandatory.

If there is no spare computer to download or the download speed is slow like in the developing world one has few options.

I do not download or test distributions now to save my electricity bill.

If I can save one month's of electricity bill I can buy the Linux magazine for a whole year.

That is what I do now.

One can visit and browse the Linux Magazine site and buy old copies of the magazine with Linux DVDs in them.

If you do so and buy a magazine copy, go for the copy with Knoppix DVD (as an extra copy) and a another copy of your desired distribution.

My approach.

One has to decide on either 32 bits or 64 bits (can have more RAM) version.

I will have five to six distributions in one box, few for my use and others for testing.

1. Knoppix CD (not DVD)

2. Gparted CD.

3. Linux Mint KDE (15)

4. Peppermint 4

4. Kiwi Linux

6. SuSe Linux KDE

7. PCLinux LXDE

8. Tails

9. Kali Linx

10. Debian 7.0
11. Pinguy Linux and many more

STEP 1

I boot up the Knoppix 7.0 CD.

This is to check my hardware.

This is the best Live CD to check on my hardware and it never fails.

If you buy the Linux magazine one is able to read the articles (questions and answers mostly) written by Knoppix himself.

I use this CD to partition my hard disk using Gparted.

It needs a rerserFS partition and a swap partition (onw has to use sufficient capacity for the DVD).

Then I install Knoppix CD version on the hard disk (follow the instruction while installing).

STEP 2

Then I boot Gparted Linux CD (Gnome Linux) and verify what was done and format all the partitions, (except where Knoppix is installed) for my need (read my articles on partitioning).

STEP 3

Then I install one by one all the distributions and see which one has the best GRUB utility.

Suse has the best configuration, partitioning and Grub file.

Peppermint comes close second but has very few utilities (cloud friendly Google based).

No word processors, torrent or disk burners.

Kiwi is pretty good alternative to Ubuntu

STEP 4

Redo the Step (three) 3 so that I get the best start up grub file that boots all the distributions.

I do this once a year and I have finished that cycle a few hours ago and I installed (downloaded) all the missing files of Peppermint except one that creates (it is not available in graphic form) an iso image of my final upgraded distribution.

Few comments worth mentioning.

 

1. use a router and not a telephone hookup.

2. Do not listen to guys/girls who test them on virtual machines.

There is a big difference in performance in actual hardware than in a virtual machine.

3. Do not install while connected to the Internet, it takes hell of a long time.

It is a waste of time.

4. Use SATA with at least 150 GB not IDE of 80GIB.

5. Do not use more than 15 partitions (SuSe cannot detect more than that).

6. Have three partitions for your most used Linux distribution.

/root., /home and /var and the rest of the distributions can be installed in one or two partitions.

5. Have two users always, one for root or administrator and one for regular user with good passwords.

 

All my users name come from the primate family from chimp to bonobo to gorilla.

Ubuntu forums tells me that their password file is compromised and that means my account too.
So strong password is mandatory now with lot of hackers out there.

Once one is familiar with a distribution try to stick with it without upgrading if the system is running well.

6. Do the preparation in mid July and not in December when everybody is on leave.

We were on a long industrial action in 2012 and I had nothing to do except fiddling with Linux and that was a discovery I made quite fortuitously.

Before that I did it on December and found that I had to re-install some f them in April or May.

Linux distributions tend to mature by mid year, strangely enough!

Stupid Things that I have done in My Life

Stupid Things that I have done in My Life

I am glad to say I never did stupid things in my student days.

I was way ahead of other kids.

I hated Scouting.

I did Junior Cadetting and went to Diyathalwa on three occasions and last time as the Sergeant.  Every year of visiting to Diyathalwa was worse than the previous occasion including food and free time. I excelled in sports and we were third in the overall championship. Even, if we came first, I do not thing I would have taken army as my career.

 

Only thing that I enjoyed was watching the streams of butterflies coming down the hills. 

I felt butterflies were much freer and I wish to be free as butterflies on air and no bondage.

 

A very Buddhist attitude of mine.

I was thrashed by the cadetting master until the Albizzia

(Persian Silk Tree) 

stick broke into many pieces, for refusing to join the senior cadetting unit.

My idea was to join the university (never wanted to become a doctor) on the first attempt.

There was another teacher, very considerate who even discourage me taking o part in even in athletics.  I used to beat his elder son in the class in academics and he should have made me to divert my attention to other things. I was active in Wall Papers and he said they are useless activities and you have potential to go to the university, it is difficult but try that instead.

His son who became a good friend entered university on the third attempt and became a very good Veterinary Surgeon. I used to meet him, also I used to visit him (forget why) in the Veterinary Hospital which was next door to the brand new Japanese built Dental School, where I worked as a pathologist.

 

Coming to the current topic, I used to do stupid things as a medical student including gambling once year at Bogambara, Mr. Balasuriya's  casino joint.

 

1. I would start with the last thing first.

Volunteering to Coronavirus jab was one of them.

Vaccines should be time tested (it takes 20 years or more for them to become safe) before introducing them in mass scale.

Nearly 20 million died on vaccine related incidents which WHO is hiding the real figures.

I ended up with Myocarditis which almost killed me, which ended up me writing two books one on Coronavirus and the second on Interleukins.

 

2. The next worst thing I did was to volunteer for alcohol test in Pharmacology (third year).

Both of us ended up as unconfirmed alcoholics. I weaned myself 6 years ago, I do not know about my friend who is in Isle of man as a Radiologist. I met him last in our 50 year anniversary in Ceylon. He does not respond to my emails. 

By the way, I have stopped sending emails to any, now.

3. Third was the worst.

I volunteered to test myself with Radioactive Thyroxin in the first year.

I do not know, the dose they gave me.

Its radioactive trace effects lasted over one year.

Of course, they built the Nuclear Biology Unit, on the rear side of the Medical Library, exposing medical students to the hazards. 

It was a Department of Physics Project.

As a seconded officer in the University, I activated the campaign opposing it on the grounds they were using unsuspecting young girls in the Kandy District.

This guy probably hated me (he was a PhD guy) and I never saw him.

Incidentally he was from my collage.

I was interested in Thyroxin and I wrote a Protocol (It was probably related to grey hair), for a guy who I considered a friend of mine on the understanding that he would mention my collaboration.

He did not.

I ended up doing a research project (Penetration Study of Linux) with a young guy.

I did most of it but told him not to mention my name at all.

I wanted him to take Linux as a career but he did not.

We had a nice meal before leaving Ceylon.

I did the wrong thing of telling him of his weaknesses which included believing in astrology and the Manios (maniacs). 

I did with good intentions.

Now he does not respond to my emails.

Ego or personality are the biggest hindrance to progress in this modern world.

I hope President Donald Trump, take a leaf out of my experiences.

He is older than me but President Putin is younger.

Well I am into five books.

They need finishing touches.

There will be less of blog pieces here.

I have downloaded all my Linux images.

Just today, I noticed, Debian has all the images in Linuxtracker.
