Took me a while but I finally sat down and configured cups on my zaurus to print to the cupsd running on the FreeBSD 6.0 box that is my beloved desktop Mnemosyne. While I was as it I logged into the cups admin interface on my powerbook (did you know you could do that?) and set it up to print to the cupsd as well. The trick is to use the raw queue (on Tiger you need to use the cups web interface to do that, the system prefs won’t let you).I actually am wasting space on my zaurus by installing hpijs but hey – maybe one day I’ll plug in a usb printer in an emergency 😉

Camino 1.0 Beta 1!
For those that don’t know, “Camino 1.0 Beta 1 brings you a heavily updated version of the only native Mac OS X browser using Mozilla.org’s Gecko HTML rendering engine. We made great improvements, adding new features, improving existing features, and fixing many bugs and performance issues.”
And it’s sexy! (But it’s still not Acid2 Compliant Doh.)
OpenBSD & FreeBSD Releases
It’s a good week for BSD 🙂 FreeBSD 6.0 was released today, and OpenBSD 3.8 was released on Nov. 1st. Enjoy 🙂
Linux On A Dead Badger
Yeah. Linux. On a dead Badger. Read It. But don’t do it. Thx.
Postfix, Courier, Mysql
Found another article about setting up a mail system with the above mentioned apps. I’m still using dovecot and plain text files, but I’m sure for larger systems mysql is a good idea to keep track of accounts.
