We can read at Linux.com a little list of GNU/Linux distributions to use in old boxes and thin clients. This article defeats another written by MS opensource lab trying to prove that it’s not true GNU/Linux can be installed in old hardware.

I’ve mentioned that I have installed Debian Sarge in a Pentium 133 MMX with 48 Mb of RAM. In fact, they have another heavy contestant in OpenBSD, we can make strong (in security sense) boxes with the lastest release and a 80386 processor-based system.

I think I’ll write how easy can I do it, to the unbeliever Redmon clowns.

I’m taking some days off. I was tired because exams and the town planning project. I’ll write about this later, now I want to touch higher in the freakmeter scale.

Benji helped me to activate the GPRS service in my Nokia 6060, and the proof-of-state was sending me by mms the Necromantux Project logo.

Knowing the size of the little wallpaper (128×160), I adjusted two freak images more (with The Gimp, of course): the GNU Spain and GPUL logos.

Finally, I couldn’t resist the temptation to make a calling tone.

Now I have an absolutely freak tuned phone . You can download all, they’re free

Updated: logos of debian, alpha linux and openbsd

This is a recent realization by Francisco Javier Manterola’s consulting office. Manterola is professor in the Civil Engineers School of Madrid, and one of the best bridges engineers in Spain. I was taking photos to my town planning work, and I took it.

After three months after I wrote this post and took action sending Amnesty International letter to Spanish President Zapatero asking for protection of the human rights of inmigrants, I received an email.

I read up-to-down and I couldn’t find nothing about the serious incidents in the Spanish frontier with Morocco in september. I can read propaganda about the latest six months of govern policy about inmigrants. The only an far reference about incidents (without direct purpose) is in the last paragraph:
“I can assure you that Goverment acts always agreed legality and in accordance with the respect to human rights with ocassion in asylum as expulsion of foreigners.”

And it is because Government promise me

Full letter (in Spanish) (more…)

I don’t know if it was my better day at Portiño. Four years ago I wouldn’t imagine a day like today. I went alone to give the class to the children.

And I survived, and the children, and pencils and rubbers too .

When I still hadn’t forgotten the first betrayal of Yahoo! in China (in Spanish), I read today in Slashdot Yahoo! collaborated again in the imprisonment of a Chinese ciberdisident. Li Zhi was jailed in 2003 for eight years because his posts about political corruption.

Please say NO to use Yahoo! services!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More on the new in BBC news and Reporters sans frontières.

I’m mirroring RSF’s handbook for bloggers and cyber-disidents,too.

After these two articles by JMG in Kriptópolis (in Spanish), and the past new in Slashdot, I think there are only two options:

• let’s get Firefox fork
• let’s use lynx

It’s a pity one of great sucessful cases from free software fall down to the hell. Mozilla must change their policy. Users don’t want strange pings. And users must know security flaws at once.
