Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1 (Revision 1) released

This article was posted on: 12/06/2008

A security issue was fixed in Linux Mint 5 Elyssa. All ISO images were rebuilt and the fix was made available in the repositories.

I've started using Linux Mint for my media center pc and I love it :) Hopefully I'll be able to replace the main server with this one.

CSV File Upload / Download

Since http://csv.el-toro.org/ is now dead, I've decided to setup a CSV file upload / download page for Site Geisha users. Registered users can upload csv's while visitors are free to download them (for now). Not sure yet how much attention this project will get.

The project can be found here http://sitegeisha.no-ip.org/csv/

It's not the PSU..

It seems my motherboard is dead, after 6 years of service it finally gave up, I tested the PSU on another PC and it worked, I tried a working psu on the server and nothing, not even a single bleep. However when I plug in the network cable the ethernet card was lit up. But that could just be the card drawing power from the cable. Anyways without a pc to hookup the sg server to it will be down for some time :( sorry guys.

Site Geisha is down, dead PSU :(

Argh the PSU on my server died last night, just as my stupid neighbor kept me awake with their fucking music. Gotta run to the store to get a new one, hope I can find one just like this, it lasted me for a long time considering it was running 24x7 for about 3 years now.
