Some impressions from the IPv6 support that is currently in development for BlueOnyx 5209R.

I thought I share a recent run in with a pretty nasty SPAM-wave (more like a Tsunami!) that I was getting and how this will help to improve the AV-SPAM.

I finally managed to tackle a long standing nuisance in relation to building CDs for BlueOnyx: The location of the kickstart files.

I'd like to give a small update on the SSL situation on BlueOnyx. It's just a FYI and to let you know about some of the thought processes of behind our constant attempts to stay on the forefront of providing secure SSL/TLS on BlueOnyx.

We just had another run in with Systemd and I thought I'd share our findings for posterity.

The BlueOnyx 5209R development has just reached another important milestone.

There is currently an interesting Systemd related discussion on the Linux kernel developer list. My take on this - and Systemd in general.

The last six days I tried to build updated BlueOnyx 5207R/5208R ISO's and did run again into some FUBAR-SNAFU of epic proportions.

As I'm about to wrap up the development of 5209R on CentOS7 it's time for me to post some thoughts on the process.

Looking at the SSL certificate import issue on 5107R and 5108R. A fact finding tour.

Due to popular demand I set out to build 5107R and 5108R ISO's based on CentOS-6.2.

The toaster gets warmed up to drop out new ISO images ... and the frustration level rises.

How the "massive" BlueOnyx update currently in the pipe came about. It was a small problem that needed a pretty big solution.

The development of the 64-bit version of BlueOnyx just got started.

There are two different way of creating Sausalito GUI pages. One is using CobaltUI.php, the other one is using pure UIFC instead. This article details why using CobaltUI.php is bad.

Our 5107R ISO image was plagued by a few glitches. It was time for another go at it to see if these could be fixed. Additionally Scientific Linux released SL6.1 a few days ago and it was time to see what impact that would have on 5107R.

Today another set of fixes was rolled out for 5107R.

The hunt for the "final five" continues.

What's this smell? Something's cookin'? :o) 5107R ISO images and OS templates are ready.
