img class=face src=http://planet.ubuntu.com/heads/ogmaciel.png alt= ul liBuilt a MT-Daapd Linux
appliance to share my music at home. Installed it in a machine with 1GB of RAM and am now as happy
as I can be. The whole thing weighs in at 237MB (I#8217;ve included vim, openssh, libogg plus a few
other nuggets) and off course everything is managed by the awesome a
href=http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Conaryconary/a technology. I#8217;ve also added ushare (upnp
support) and am hoping to make it so that sharing videos and music can be all done via a web
interface. I haven#8217;t made the installable ISO or VMWare image available yet but will do it
soon./li liSpeaking of other technologies, I#8217;ve been playing with a MacBook these last 2 days
and am generally happy with the experience. Everything just#8230; works! What? No need to tweak
configuration files? With the exception of the lack of a right-click button, so far I give it 2
thumbs up./li liSince we#8217;re talking about operating systems, I was really glad to see that a
href=http://www.foresightlinux.org/Foresight/a Linux has been awarded the a
href=http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/ars-awards-2008.ars/72008 Ovatio Award/a as the
strongDistribution of the Year/strong, and honor that is shared with its other green cousin, a
href=http://www.opensuse.org/openSUSE/a. I have been running Foresight for over 2 years now and I
just cannot imagine any other distribution that would give me the same flexibility, stability and
coolness combo. You want to see a distribution that knows how to be a first citizen in the upstream
world? Come talk to me on #foresight on Freenode./li liSpeaking of being a good citizen with
upstream projects, if you speak strongBrazilian Portuguese/strong you#8217;ll be glad to know that
the a href=http://gnome.orgGNOME/a, a href=http://kde.orgKDE/a, a href=http://xfce.orgXFCE/a, and a
href=http://icculus.org/openboxOpenbox/a desktop environments are in excelente shape as far as the
localization effort goes. The Brazilian translation team for a
href=http://fedoraproject.org/Fedora/a has also done a great job at delivering a localized desktop
with their latest release! Now, I don#8217;t know where you get your translations but if it
isn#8217;t being pulled (without modifications) from upstream, good luck pal!/li liFinally, between
the many hours I have put into work these days (ever wonder why I haven#8217;t blogged much? now
you know) I have managed to mess around with Django to scratch a need. If I were to describe what I
think about this framework using as few words as possible, w00t and teh aw3s0m3 comes to mind! By
the way, writing code with 2 other guys while discussing ideas over Skype? Great XP experience for
those who cannot afford to travel!/li /ul
