Maybe I was absent from the net for too long, Friendster now accepts rss feeds ? I can't seems to find where its displaying thou. Maybe I need to run and get a friend to log in, or maybe its the the Friendster lag thing.
Still, this would be good for bloggers like me. :)
Now if only Friendster could increase the speed and decrease the lag a lil' bit more ....

Damn Small Linux
I'm surfing the net and updating my journal, on a 50 MB Linux distro, firefox and all running on RAM, :D
It's called, Damn Small Linux, get it here.
This lightweight distro rules. I fixed my crashed hdd, recover some files, and prepared it for my new Gentoo installation (reiser4 formatted root baby). Also, the distro actually auto detected the 512MB I used for swap previously. Hei, I'm running the whole distro on my 768k RAM, ;p
This whole distro roX, while running the flux windows manager, CPU cycl rarely goes above 20% even while running firefox. Now while its working thou, firefox is a resource sucked, my RAM usage nearly triple after I loaded it. What surprised me was, firefox manage to lag the distro, even fully loaded into the RAM .....

freesco
Upgraded my freesco box from version 0.32 to 0.33. A bug in the adduser script screwed up some settings with the server. Since the new version came up, I thought what heck. freesco is a floppy based router distro. So installation took less than a minute. Putting it on a hdd and it'll be quite formidable. Small and quick, and made my old Acer Pentium 60 useful again. The upgrade process took less than 10 minutes.
Evrything in the distro is designed for speed and at the same time small in size. I'm running a dnsmasq firewall/router, 2 web servers (1 for internal admin stuffs, and the other is a public webserver), ftp server (internal only for now), print server (serves my 2 linux and windoze boxes) and a few monitoring tools all on my old pentium with 100MB harddisk and 48 MB ram.
Yes, I made all those work on an old box in less than 10 minutes thanks to freesco, :)
