About La Salle Debain

This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 5 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.

The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.

If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

You can get an rss 0.91 feed of any page in the blog by appending ?flav=rss to the end of the URL.

Shailaja Learns A New Word

Today my daughter (now 27 months old) turned to my wife, pointed to my laptop and said "Jyo mummy, Debian chhe." ("Look Mummy it's Debian.") Is being potty-trained a prerequisite for the new maintainer process?

Which OS Are You?

There is a quiz on BBSpot to find out which OS matches your personality. Debian is a choice but I actually got this:

<a href="http://bbspot.com/News/2003/01/os_quiz.php"><img src="http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/01/os_quiz/slackware.jpg" width="300" height="90" border="0" alt="Which OS are You?" /></a>

I started out with Slackware many moons ago and I still have a soft spot for it so that's ok. Atleast I didn't get Windows ME. :)

Girlfriends of Geeks

Ok this is not really Debian related but I came across a funny French site www.copinedegeek.com -- a support group for girlfriends of geeks. As a banner on the site says, "vivre avec un geek c'est possible!" They have HOWTO's!
