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.

Since long time I was wishing to have a full ssh access through the Web.
I did some research long time ago and sodg pointed me to java applet (shell-in-a-box) but I didn't really like it but it was better than nothing.

Finally I took some time (5mins) to search for a new solution and I found what makes me so happy : ajaxterm !!

Ajaxterm is a python script running on a remote server where you can configure optionally an apache (or using a reverse proxy) to access it.
I definitely advise to use an SSL layer and to use a web authentication. If you run ajaxterm from root the login command will be started but you can always specify another one.

As you can see I'll be able to follow my irc chats everywhere ;)

and the future is Open Source !!

Today I installed eyeOS for the first time, just because I was curious about this project and my first impression (that's still there now) is : THIS IS AMAZING and this is the future !

Of course some improvements should be done on the applications parts, writing some more in fact like an ssh client (I know I'm a geek), a jabber client, an irc client... but the current work is already very nice !

And all this into a tgz of 746K !

There is already a nice community around this project it seems : http://www.eyeos.org/community

I hope to find some time to test writing some applications for this web based os.

This morning we saw very cool stuff like printer migrations and still more management (like shares) from the Windows Remote Management Tools ! We also pointed the M$-DFS.

The new port feature added in 3.0.23 seems nice too. And we saw that the printers can be "managed" by regedit.

Once again it's a lot of M$ tools but the integration is very impressive... it's time for VT ;-)

This post to announce that comments are again open on my blog. So don't hesitate to contribute, I'll try to reply to comments as frequently as I can.

As you can notice, there is small modification on the form requesting for very deep mathematical knowledge ;-)
