Starting with Ubuntu Karmic, Grub2 is used (for clean installs for now), so the old way of recovering GRUB has become obsolete. Here is the way to recover GRUB2 (in case you break it, install Windows after Linux and it breaks the GRUB2, etc.)
Well, I figured that I should take an opportunity to introduce a few opensource OSs that really haven’t been in the lime light much. We all know about Linux and many of us also know about Darwin and BSD. Still some know about OpenSolaris. Which ever ones you know or don’t here’s a chance to get the scoop.
howto restart the network with a wireless interface including wpa_supplicant on FreeBSD 7.2 without reboot?
Previously I admin a website that uses IP.Board as a forum. It was on a FreeBSD server but there were some issues with some other people on the server so the whole server has been resetup. It is has been set up as a Unix Jail and I was given root access. Apache has been installed I’ve been told but I’m not sure how to configure it so that it points to the domain but I’m waiting to hear back from him on that.
Right now I’m trying to install mySQL. However the base commands like groupadd and useradd that I would use to set up my mysql user aren’t working. I’m not sure if that is because of the Unix Jail or something else.
Can anyone direct me on what I need to do to set up mySQL?
Juraj Šípoš who maintains http://www.freebsd.nfo.sk/ wrote a nice review about Bordeaux on FreeBSD. The original review is at www.linuxexpres.cz and can be translated with google translate. Just choose Slovak to English or your language of choice, with a link to the English translation provided.

The Debian project is planning a whole series of enhancements for Debian 5.0 "Squeeze." A few results of the currently running Google Summer of Code are beginning to creep into it.
What is it that makes Microsoft’s products sell? Why is it that Microsoft seems to reign supreme in our microcomputer industry? Sure, we all know that IBM and Linux are strong in the research field, and we know that Solaris had a strong following in some areas as well, but niches aren’t what dominate markets. Niches are just small pockets that concentrate on specific things. We all have a tendency to think that Scientific Linux is a niche distribution, or that tomstrbt is a niche distribution… in reality Linux is a niche operating system. The same can be said about the BSDs, and Solaris, and AIX, and HPUX, and V7×86 (ad inifitum). When we look at Macintosh, there is a tendency to think that Microsoft isn’t impenetrable. Why does Macintosh do well when Linux does not? After all, Linux offers more hardware support than any other OS. Well, the answers are blazingly obvious and simple.
mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mntSomething I have always wondered is what the option msdosfs stands for and more importantly, why it is necessary.
