Wishlist: Unix Man Pages for Islamic terms I was making a joke on one forum when people asking for some terms regarding ijtihad(Islamic scholars opinion based on hadith(the Prophet's narration) and also al-Quran. I suggest then why not one guy dare enough to create Unix man page for this words, so that when you wondering some terms, instead wikipedia.org or "define:the_terms" , you also can get those info on your console... I think if I got enough time I will work for this stuff. Fun and ambitious project though.

De Kuantan Le Ipoh to Gombak I was in Kuantan last week for my workplace's promo. With all the gizmos, touchscreen and big bunting (read: barn thing), my collaegues and me spent darn hot weather to entertain visitors. Luckily there was Fazley(Dr), Waheeda and some other artist groups. But I'm not really interested as there are lotsof ppl to be entertained. Kuantan's Vistana TV also doesn't have much interesting channel. my room doesn't have EPL. sigh. But something interesting was the woman who served our breakfast looks like Fasha Sandha. Really-tall and pretty like her lor(i think she is taller that Fasha Sandha) Though it was weekend I have to do it coz my boss told it to do so. Then I took 2 days holiday,my mum asked me to accompany her to Ipoh for land name transfer. Lol. So tired lor... have to drive all the way to Ipoh and then last night drive back to KL. Today in office. Got to meet deadline at 3pm. (and here I am, blogging).

Good luck, and may the source be with us.

Ubuntu... my first time :-] I was assisting my students on LPIC (though I am yet to have one). So after discussing with few colleagues, we agreed to use Ubuntu. The fallacy of assumption was that I am yet to try Ubuntu,lol. As said by mypapit, the way Ubuntu treat superuser from normal user is by 'sudo su' command. I was trying to install Ubuntu with my students did the same on few Compaq workstations. Hey, I got few problems: 1- The Ubuntu GRUB didn't work well (i put it on MBR). The Compaq PCs keep rebooting(it supposed to be dual boot). So I opt to Fedora afterwards. :-( 2- Ubuntu 'sudo su' command prompted us with "error by hostname ()" , sort of Did you got any problem with Ubuntu? Please let me know since I will not dealing with any distro that give much headache or time consumption during training session,hehe. I think better use the original Debian next time, though the installation going to get you more pain. p/s: Codefest workstations were instal...

Evaluating the best... academic and by statistics I was evaluating someone's proposal/project and he/she came out with something that he/she prove the best... well in this case security tools. How to prove by analytical study (fact and figures for sure) that those tools are the best?
