Posted on June 3, 2008 by T. Fischer

Hello, WordPress

Posted on August 13, 2007 by T. Fischer

Fedora is Fine

Posted on May 30, 2007 by T. Fischer

Three days ago I posted about how bad fedora was to me. Today I managed to discover that initng changed some things on me without telling me. Apparently, runlevels are now stored in /etc/initng/runlevels/ instead of just /etc/initng/*.runlevel. I …
