Goodbye Linux April 27, 2006

Twenty four hours ago, I wouldn't have dreamt of it. I had an awesome laptop with Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux and Windows on it. 86400 seconds later, I have gotten rid of my linux partition and made a free partition for playing around with ZFS on my laptop. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes for me. It has been about one month since I even bothered booting into Linux. FreeBSD has been my primary programming platform after OpenSolaris. Mind you, I still have a source tree of the latest Vanilla Kernel on my Solaris partition and I refer to it whenever I want to find a difference between the Solaris, FreeBSD and the Linux kernels. And if you think I adopt an "Anti-Linux" pose because I am employed by Sun or some shit like that, go, get a life.
A Week Of Solaris Internals April 24, 2006

Max Bruning is a sort of legend amongst the younger generation of Solaris Engineers. He has been working with Unix systems for about 30 years ! That means he started with Unix not long after Thompson and Ritchie had finished writing the AT & T code ! And when Max teaches about Solaris Internals, we listen spellbound trying to digest the 30 years of knowledge he tries to ram down our throats.

Hello World ! I decided to move from Blogger to WordPress. I had One year at blogger with more than a hundred posts. All the while blogger remained static, unchanging and rudimentary. Whereas, Open Source Content Management Systems led by WordPress were leaping generations ahead.
