This site is primarly dedicated to Linux (and to a lesser extent FreeBSD) users. It's goal is to provide information, tips, tricks , howto's, . . .
about these operating systems.
You can find some articles I wrote in the
HOWTO Section.
I hope many will follow, and that you somehow find them usefull.
You may also find something of interest in the Software Archive, which is accessible by
HTTP. Note however that this server has to cope with limited
bandwith (768 Kbps upstream) and traffic volume.
This site is also the home of Acpitool, a Linux commandline ACPI client I developped. All you need to know
about this project can be found here
Furthermore, I devoted a few pages to my hardware collection, describing
all my computers and peripherals in detail.
Finally, you can search this site, or perhaps drop me a line
to comment on the site.
Enjoy your visit.
13 Aug 2009 : AcpiTool 0.5.1 released

24 Jul 2008 : AcpiTool 0.5 released
Version 0.5 of AcpiTool is available for download. It's actually still a beta version, but almost
everything works. Acpitool 0.5 is compatible with kernel 2.6.24, meaning it will use
the information found in the /sys filesystem, for those files that are moved in there from /proc/acpi.

18 Jul 2008 : New Howto article
Yep, I burned some hard earned cash, got myself a used Dell D610 laptop
and loaded it with Slackware 12.1.

Definitely the most trouble free Linux laptop I ever used.
24 Mar 2008 : new version of AcpiTool is coming
Version 0.5 of AcpiTool wil be available for download soon. I finally managed to spend some time
hacking C code. Acpitool 0.5 will be compatible with kernel 2.6.24, meaning it will use
the information found in the /sys filesystem, for those files that are moved in there from /proc/acpi.
Damn you, kernel hackers !
25 Dec 2007 : OS upgrade
The machine was down today for an upgrade from Slackware 11 to Slackware 12. Given the significant number of changes between
Slack 11 and 12, I expected some problems, but the entire upgrade process actually went quite smoothly.
Anyway, we are back in business.
