Upgrade Debian from Lenny (5.0 or 5.0.7) to Squeeze (6.0)

Now that we have a date, which is February 5th or 6th. It is time to be prepared to upgrade our Debian Lenny PCs to Debian Squeeze.

Do not forget to backup before the upgrade, and have a plan in case something may go wrong. I’ve never had a problem with and upgrade like this, but it is always better to be prepared.

Now, this is good service -Blekko.com-

Yesterday, while trying to use http://blekko.com

From Wikipedia:

>blekko is a web search engine that aims at providing better search results than those offered by Google Search by offering results culled from a set of 3 billion trusted websites and excluding material from such sites as content farms. The site, launched to the public on November 1, 2010, uses slashtags to provide results for common searches.

I've found a nice 404 error page, that I posted here:
http://ggarron.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/blekko-page-not-found-404/

Well, that blog is almost not visited at all, but guess what.

Greg, from blekko, visited it and leave a comment:

>Sorry about that, we had some downtime last night and are still having some isolated performance problems today.

So, to me, that is good service, if these guys continue that way,
then, they may be a good Google contender.

Debian Squeeze Release Candidate 1 ready to download

This is good news!

Debian Squeeze first release candidate is ready to download.

Here the press release:

This release candidate adds support for the Lao and Sinhala languages. The keyboard support for Finnish has been fixed. In total 70 languages are activated in the installer for Squeeze and for at least 57 of these the whole installation process is translated.

The Linux kernel used by the installer has been updated to the latest version of 2.6.32 available in Squeeze. The handling of non-free firmware has had some usability issues fixed.

This release candidate adds support for three extra computer systems: YDL PowerStation (PowerPC), QNAP TS-119P+ and TS-219P+ (ARM). This release candidate has also seen several improvements on PowerPC machines, including fan control improvements, IDE support for Efika 5200B, network support for IBM Power 6 and later System P boards and use of unique filesystem identifiers and labels for more reliable booting.

Major improvements of the Squeeze installer over the Debian 5.0 Lenny installer include the automatic installation of recommended packages, a rewrite of the localechooser component (which language, timezone and mirror settings are based on), btrfs and ext4 file system support (while ext3 remains the default file system), and easier usage of partitions for software RAID, LVM and crypto setups. Besides supporting more hardware, the Debian Installer can now also be used to install a system based upon the FreeBSD kernel, which also supports the ZFS file system.

You can download it from here: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Drupal 7 new capabilities video review

I've been using drupal since drupal 5, and it great all the things you can do with it.

Usually you never take advantange of all its capabilities, because you just do not need them all, but they are there, just in case.

I've not used Wordpress, so I can not compare, but I highly recomend you Drupal for any website project you may have.
