J'apprends par les nouvelles que le virus H5N1 a été retrouvé franchement mort dans un canal. Euh, non, pardon, il a été retrouvé en France dans un canard mort.
J'avoue être déçu par notre gouvernement. De mon temps, en 86, les frontières n'auraient pas laissé entrer ce canard ni ce virus. Les temps changent...
Posted dim. 19 févr. 2006 00:00:00 CETLars Wirzenius kindly added some visibility to Kenshi Muto's Debian GNU/Linux hardware compatibility list, and had the interesting idea of mentioning live-cds in the same post. That gave me an idea: why not prepare a minimal live-cd dedicated to hardware compatibility testing? It could automatically open a browser on that check page, try multiple screen resolutions and sound systems and report the results, run glxgears, etc. Just boot on that CD in the computer shop, wait for a few moments, and see in big, easily readable letters, whether a configuration actually works with free software. Don't forget to exclaim loudly if the shop attendant told you it would work and the tests show it doesn't.
I'm told there's a tool to automate the creation of live-cds. Any takers for that task?
