Finally done with my final year, muahahah. I'm looking forward to either a job, or MBA now. Well, still, I have to wait for my results >.< href="http://renyi.kicks-ass.org/">http://renyi.kicks-ass.org
Next I've open sourced a subset of my final year thesis. For those whom are interested, its here. It's a file sharing tool using Bluetooth.
I've also reinstalled my computer. Updated to a more recent Gentoo, and reinstalled from scratch. My desktop is still a Gentoo/Fluxbox combo. Nothing much changed, except that this time I mastered the portage system better and able to optimize my system more. Now, the box rarely swaps, and I'm reallly considering of freeing those 512MB swap space. I've been doing some reading, many experts says no, so I'm just keeping the swap space around. Instead, I changed the kernel's vm swappiness to 10, means less swapping. Well, we'll see.
Finally, I have time with my server ! It's a freebsd box. I reinstalled it from scratch last nite. Freebsd is the reason I almost switched to BSD from Linux. However, I must say, Gentoo's portage system is much better than FreeBSD's own port system, thou Gentoo borrowed the idea. I'm sticking with FreeBSD for my server simply because the ports system uses way less resources, and that suits my old junk fine. As we speak, I'm installing MYSQL -1.5 on my FreeBSD. Next on the list is pureFTPd and apache.
Bah, updating the ports alone takes forever on my pentium133mhz-32MB system. I might need a week to finish setting up the whole server, @.@
Its a shame that Gentoo's portage system uses python, it needs a minimum of 64MB and lots of horsepower to run.
