Subversion Blog - Migrating from Rational ClearCase

Today at work, a discussion was started relation to version control of code, tools, script and other files using IBM Rational ClearCase. I've just recently spent a lot of time digging my teeth into Subversion, so I was not amused. But corporate policy is policy, so what can you do?
Well, it turns out: a lot. You may keep SVN, develop there and push releases into ClearCase. best of both worlds. CollabNet has a clearcase2svn connector. There is also a comparison of ClearCase vs. Subversion (PDF). And lot of discussions of people migrating back to SVN from ClearCase. LOL

Preventing PuTTY timeouts

Just found a great tip to prevent timeouts of PuTTY sessions. I'm fine with timeouts by the host, but in our case the firewall kills sessions after 30 minutes of inactivity... When using PuTTY to ssh to your Linux/Unix servers, be sure to use the feature to send NULL packets to prevent a timeout. I've set it to once every 900 seconds, i.e. 15 minutes... See screenshot on the right.

Logbook and Note Book

I'm no longer actively working with Linux although I use it privately. This was my work logbook during my job as a Linux Engineer and Architect for KPN Data Centers.  I'm keeping this as a log and note book. Who knows when it comes in handy although much will be outdated. If you find any good resources or more current howtos for what was written here, let me know!
