Grml Blog

Thanks to Thomas Ulz, we have debian packages for the brand new ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version 8.25.18 compiled against 2.6.16-grml. As usual they are available through the grml repository.

Grazer Linuxday on 20th of may was fun. I was giving two talks, one about 'successful opensource project maintenance' and the other one about grml of course.

Someone showed me his really small and cute gadget where he successfully installed grml. I really enjoyed playing with it. :-)

We had a grml booth too (Jimmy on the left, Rebekka in the middle and my girlfriend on the right side):

I met several "grml-related" people like Maximilian 'maxs' Attems, Thomas 'thomerz' Ulz, Michael 'memorial' Taschner and Bernhard 'skywire' Hoedl for the first time in reallife. Nice to meet you! :-)

And as mentioned in the the Gentoo Linux Newsletter we had a tricky setup of the booths:

A special release of grml named Bootenschnitzl@LU is shipped with the german LinuxUser magazine. You will also find an article about grml inside the magazine, so get your own copy!

If you need more than one grml-CD for a computerlab, your Linux User Group or $INSERT_ANOTHER_GOOD_REASON please let us know so we can send you some!

Update: the article is available online as well. Enjoy.

planet.grml.org is a weblog aggregation containing blog articles written by the developers of the grml Live CD. Subscribe to its rss feed if you are interested in computer related blog articles by the grml developers.

In the last two days I stepped through the complete grml repository and updated most packages: updated to latest upstream version, some cleanups and finally I removed some packages (apachetoolbox, ccdv, ftester, mwcollect, shunit) which are deprecated nowadays (either not necessary at all or replaced by another package). Run 'apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade' on your grml-box and see the changelog for more details.
