Clamav rocks

Being a defender of clamav since the beginning, I am very glad to see that this free antivirus defies most commercial antivirus and beat the majority of them !

According to this study, one can thus see that clamav detected the more viruses than many others: the study's result

I always advice Windows users to use the windows version of that engine on their very vulnerable "operating system" : clamwin

I use clamav in the majority of mailrelays and fileservers I install.

Thus go! the clamav team continue like that!

This news was also reported on DLFP.

Is Dell abusing with its Linux offer ?

I've read this morning on toolinux 1 that it seems that Dell is proposing Linux on laptops that you cannot buy anymore with Vista, those are on newer models. Only on one model people has the possibility to choose between both OS. Of course the Linux version is 27€ cheaper but on the Micro$oft version the transport (29€) is free... so you can have a Dell with Linux for 2€ cheaper than one giving you matter for the burning licenses party ;)

How to resize images quickly from command line

As requested by sdog, this is how I modify all my pictures in a row using the command line :

I use the mogrify command that comes with ImageMagick.

First I copy all my original pics on a new folder and then I type the following command line :

$ mogrify -resize 1024x768 *

This keeps image ratio ! ;)

Of course you can define any size you want.

To Digg or not to digg… ?

That is the question !

Since M$ replaces Google has advertisement exclusive provider for Digg, I wonder if I will keep "digging" some articles there...

But if I start like that, it means that I'm becoming an OpenSource extremist.... So ok, I give up my first idea and I still will "digg"... but of course no without having learned to my adds and banner blocker :-)

I just hope that the really interesting articles about OpenSource won't disappear.

Ldapvi fedora 7 rpm

Hehe, I discussed yesterday on the phone with arrfab how nice is ldapvi to manage openldap directory via an ssh connection remotely.

Arrfab then posted on his rpm repo (see his blog entry) an rpm for Centos 5.

As I don't have any repo, you can download the rpms I build for fedora 7 from arrfab's src.rpm bellow :
