Parallels, provides as part of their community section a nice directory of virtual appliances for download with Parallels 2.0 and above. You can find it at Parallels Appliance Directory. The CentOS 5 Server application has been a great starting point for me for testing deployments of some of our applications. I really do love the [...]

CentOS – Parallels Virtual Appliance
Posted by CobyR on September 23rd, 2008Cleaning up the .svn directories from OS X or Linux
Posted by CobyR on March 26th, 2008Handy little command to quickly remove all those .svn subdirectories from a project.
find . -type d -name .svn | xargs rm -rf
another alternative

Personal Brain 4.0
Posted by CobyR on November 22nd, 2007I’ve been using Personal Brain (http://www.thebrain.com) for a little over five years now. With this latest version they have finally released a client for OS X as well as for Linux.
It is great to not have to use Parallels to access it. For a while I switched to Journlr under OS X, [...]
RoR on Debian on Sparc
Posted by CobyR on October 8th, 2006Installing Ruby on Rails from Source on a Debian Linux running on a Sun Ultra 5 Workstation, has been an adventure.
Actually getting ruby on – no problem, download, make etc…
Then getting Gems installed so I can install rails… not so easy.
When attempting to run ruby setup.rb for Gems I encountered an error regarding zlib [...]
Ubuntu – Dapper Drake
Posted by CobyR on July 26th, 2006I’ve been playing with my Ultra 5 Workstations again. I decided that with a bit more memory and a current linux current and Gnome or KDE that they would make nice introductory/development machines for my kids. I pulled Debian Sarge R2, which is still using the 2.4.2x Kernl, and got things running smoothly, [...]
Linux on MIPS
Posted by CobyR on March 27th, 2006The ISO to CD approach for my Indy was flat wrong. I was unable to actually boot from CD’s. So I setup a TFTP server and DHCP server on one of my Ultra 5 workstations and booted the Indy using bootp to start from the network.
I was able to get a debian linux [...]
Linux on different architectures
Posted by CobyR on March 25th, 2006Well as I have been spending more and more time on linux, I decided it was time to break out some of the old hardware. I have an SGI Indy, and several Sun Ultra 5 machines, that still have their native OS’s installed. It’s time to move them to Linux, I’ve decided to use debian [...]
A little bit of shell scripting…
Posted by CobyR on March 22nd, 2006The following information was handy since I have not done much in the way of shell scripting in a very long time.
Borrowed this information from:
http://research.imb.uq.edu.au/~ksteube/Bshell/
Update: (10/7/2008) The above link is no longer valid, and since I didn’t reference enough of it to be useful, this post is now pointless.
