Moving
I've decided to do away with multiple blogs and just try to keep one generic blog - Wagonfly. Will be mostly about Linux, open source software, science, philosophy, politics, etc.
Adventures with Linux and maybe BSD.

"Microsoft reignites its war on Linux" points out that the latest FUD campaign is nothing new. Back in 2004, Ballmer claimed that Richard Stallman himself admitted Linux infringes upon hundreds of patents. The article points out, though, the numbers referenced by Stallman came from a study done to allay fears about patent infringements. The study measured the number of infringements and showed that it's nothing unexpected in these crazy patent-happy days.
So I upgraded to "etch". Didn't solve the problem. Whenever I get to it again, I will have to focus back on kernel configuration.
I had to compile the kernel once more - I had left ext2 file system support included as a module (the default setting). Since the ext2 support module was on the root partition and the root partition is in ext2 format, the kernel couldn't mount it.
I'm compiling my first custom kernel today.
