Unix/GNU/Linux world

  • How I set up GNU/Linux on a LapNote P150 laptop (1997)
  • Setting up GNU/Linux on a Fujitsu Lifebook 635T (1998, long)
  • Simple file auditing monitor using md5sum
  • Miscellaneous Unix Scripts 1.1 (tar.gz). A collection of small scripts for text processing, system administration, and more.
  • A Unix shell script to convert PostScript (PS) or Acrobat (PDF) files to the new DjVu (déjà vu, day-zha-view) format. The script creates a bundled DjVu file with all pages at specified resolution. I wrote it because I couldn't find anything like ps2djvu or pdf2djvu, and because it's wasteful to use LizardTech's any2djvu public service when all you need is a few commands.
  • A Perl script to convert my TXT files to HTML

  • A proposed extension to KOI-8 Cyrillic encoding to support old Russian characters (Fita, Yat', Izhitsa etc.). Also, an updated version of Cyrillic BDF (screen) fonts for X window (BDF source and scripts here). Test your Unicode browser (same text with no charset specified) on these Cyrillic characters.
  • My script to print plain text files to Postscript using a given BDF font.

    Pro-Unix and pro-free software advocacy

  • A Case for Free Books (a manifesto)
  • Rebuttals to Objections to Using Unix/GNU/Linux
  • Installing an alternative operating system (users beware: don't stray from the beaten path)
  • M!cro$#!t Bullshits About its `Open Source' Intentions
  • M!cro$#!t Lies About its OEM Contracts
  • Windoze 98 is Easy... NOT
  • Why he won't run Windows on his PC (source)
  • Read about the "Back Orifice" -- a tool that vastly enhances the network functionality of Windoze 95/98
  • What one has to go through to follow the M!cro$#!t license agreement: a story from Australia
  • A11 U WORD5 R BELON6 TO U5, or how M!cro$#!t owns us all

  • The History of Unix (crucial design goal revealed: to reduce typing)
  • The Cult of Unix (worshippers have to learn the ritual language `C')
  • Downfall of the Programmer (a biblical story)
