Works mostly by the book. The only quirk is that it appears the installer thinks it has XFree86 3.x, and changes the symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the XF86_Vmware server. One needs to make it point back to the xorg server by doing:
% cd /usr/X11R6/bin
% rm X
% ln -s Xorg X
And then to get gdm going again

To delete all evolution settings:
rm -r ~/.evolution
rm ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution
gconftool-2 –recursive-unset /apps/evolution
Evolution stores all the account information in the gconf registry, but the cache stuff in .evolution.
Theres a slashdot story about an academic saying the record companies should charge 5 cents a song online instead of the current 99 cents.

I think pretty much what it comes down to, is that there are so far two (plus one) kinds of open source business models.
A service-based company (supposedly like redhat) which is not selling […]

Although, does it mean if you have less radiation then you also get worse reception?
So I’m off to Maryland for the SELinux Symposium. A bunch of HP, IBM, Redhat, and NSA guys will be there as well. Should be pretty interesting, though I’m not looking forward to the flight (being that I just made the return trip very recently). But I guess everyone’s over there huh. (Redhat in NC, […]
Finally got a chance to play with the new powerbooks two-fingered scrolling feature. Feels like it works pretty well, and seems so obvious in hind sight. I’m always the most excited about simple, seemingly obvious improvements like these. They are few and far between in the computer world, and Apple probably lays claim to a […]
