cvs2svn: convert cvs to svn/git/bazaar/mercurial

Want to move your legacy CVS repository into the next century but are afraid to loose information or damage your business-critical source code? Don't worry and please do as soon as you can!

cvs2svn has released a new version. cvs2svn is a tool for migrating a CVS repository to Subversion, git, Bazaar, or Mercurial. The main design goals are robustness and 100% data preservation. Release 2.3.0 primarily improves the support for converting to git and Bazaar (including explicit cvs2git and cvs2bzr scripts). This release also adds a few other minor features and fixes a bug when converting to git with non-inline blobs.

Tuning the nscd name cache daemon

I've been playing a bit with the nscd now and want to share some tips related to tuning the nscd.conf file.

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 Who knows when it comes in handy although much will be outdated.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!

Oracle Public Yum Server

Oracle has released the Linux base install repositories to the public. This means that, when you have obtained the ISOs for OEL4 or OEL5, you can install packages freely using yum. The so-called "base channels" are available for free and without support over Internet. This applies to Oracle VM (Xen) as well. All you need is their .repo files, yum check-update, and you're set. Updates and Patches require a support license. Check Oracle Public Yum Server for details and howto.
